NFL Power Rankings --- After Week 5 | Rain.TheMist's Blog

Yes. I've been gone for 3 weeks now, and I possibly couldn't catch up on all the news.

Also, let me just say that I am typing with one hand right now, because I broke my clavical 9 days ago, and it hurts to even think about moving it. And because of my situation, I'll have brief (or none at all) reasons for the rankings in the NFL this week.

1. New England Patriots
Sad to say, but they aren't letting up.

2. Indianapolis Colts
They can succeed even with a Canadian League Football player as their starting RB.

3. Dallas Cowboys
I'll give them this...for now...

4. Pittsburgh Steelers
Well, who else deserves this? Anyone? And the Steelers have a 4-1 record.

5. Tennessee Titans
I was never a believer in Vince Young's ability until now. He ALWAYS has horrible stats, seems to have lost the game for the team, and yet the Titans keep winning. He has the winning mojo for sure.

6. Green Bay Packers
Some say they are Top 5 material. I say hogwash. They are winning, truly, with Brett Favre and mirrors. You can't keep winning with just those in the NFL. But they do deserve a sixth spot for being able to do it.

7. San Diego Chargers
If I had made a "Power Rankings --- After Week 4," the Bolts would have been in the 20s. But they looked like the Chargers that we know, and Norv didn't lose the game.

8. Baltimore Ravens
They have a tough road ahead, and soon, they will face the Chargers, Colts, and Patriots in consecutive weeks. Yuck.

9. Oakland Raiders
Wait, what?! Raiders??? Questions and silliness aside, showdown next week versus the Chargers will tell us a lot about this team's chances.

10. Jacksonville Jaguars
They do deserve a higher ranking. They beat the Chiefs in good fashion, and head to Houston. If they win next week, I guarantee a top 7 spot in next wek's rankings.

The Rest

11. Washington Redskins

12. Houston Texans

13. New York Giants

14. Arizona Cardinals

15. Chicago Bears

16. Detroit Lions

17. Carolina Panthers

18. Seattle Seahawks

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

20. Denver Broncos

21. Cleveland Browns

22. Philadelphia Eagles

23. Cincinnati Bengals

24. New Orleans Saints

25. Kansas City Chiefs

26. San Francisco 49ers

27. Buffalo Bills

28. Minnesota Vikings

29. Atlanta Falcons

30. New York Jets

31. LSU Tigers

33.

...

57.

58. Applachian State Mountaineers

59.

...

96. Pop Warner Under-11 All-Stars

97. Miami Dolphins

Cam Cameron should have stayed in San Diego. If they win next week, the Dolphins will guarantee themselves of a spot in front of the Pop Warner U-11 Allstar team.

With this, I bid good night: Cheesecake is godly, and I feel sorry for the Buffalo Bills and Lee Evans.
