After what happened in week 5 of Season 2021, we have new NFL Power Rankings, now for week 6.
1. Buffalo Bills
Record: 4-1
Previous position: 1 (=)
Yes, I know they have a loss. And yes, I am also aware of the Cardinals brand. But the reality is that the Bills look like the contender we all thought they were going to be from the offseason, with all that loss in week 1.
2. Arizona Cardinals
Record: 5-0
Previous position: 2 (=)
Yes, they are still undefeated, but their win against the 49ers was far from convincing. So far their top credential is that game against the Rams, and it remains valid to consider them the best team in the NFC until they lose a game.
3. Los Angeles Rams
Record: 4-1
Previous position: 3 (=)
It seems that after the good start, the Rams’ offensive intensity has dropped a bit. Sean McVay needs to adjust a few things to keep his team on track for the remainder of the 2021 NFL Season.
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Record: 4-1
Previous position: 4 (=)
The Buccaneers had no major problems dispatching the Dolphins and show that few teams will be able to create setbacks in games.
5. Dallas Cowboys
Record: 4-1
Previous position: 7 (+2)
Could we be facing a double prize in Dallas? Because Dak Prescott is a Candidate for Comeback of the Year and Trevon Diggs is on the right track to be in the discussion for Defender of the Year. Most important of all, they are also going from strength to strength towards the division title.
6. Los Angeles Chargers
Record: 4-1
Previous position: 8 (+2)
The victory over the Browns was extremely difficult, but it shows that this team has the weapons to come through a shootout. Mind you, his defense needs to improve if the plan is to stay at the top of our Power Rankings.
7. Green Bay Packers
Record: 4-1
Previous position: 6 (-1)
Last week they beat the Steelers without much effort, and this week it was something else entirely: They won even though Mason Crosby tried hard to avoid it. They are still a strong team, but they showed signs of weakness against a team that, in theory, should not have generated so many conflicts.
8. Baltimore Ravens
Record: 4-1
Previous position: 5 (-3)
Here is a pretty big question: how long can they continue to win last minute matches? In an eventual playoff against teams like Buffalo, Cleveland or Los Angeles, it will be very difficult to think that they will be able to come out alive playing as they did this week.
Top teams in the NFL Power Rankings from 9th to 16th place:
9. Cleveland Browns
Record: 3-2
Previous position: 11 (+2)
The Browns, who came from winning games in a long-suffering way, now lost one in the same way. Of course, there is the feeling that this team is quite good and far from hurting them, what was done this week keeps them firm on our list.
10. Kansas City Chiefs
Record: 2-2
Previous position: 9 (-1)
The balance of the first month of the 2021 NFL Season makes it clear that this team still has a lot of talent, but it also lets us see that it is no longer so surprising to beat them. Their only point in favor is that all their defeats have been against very competitive teams.
11. Cincinnati Bengals
Record: 3-2
Previous position: 16 (+5)
The Bengals continue to climb our Power Rankings for one simple reason: Even in the loss to the Packers they looked better than we could have hoped for. Come on, they can go 4-2 this week, and no one was betting that was possible.
12. Tennessee Titans
Record: 3-2
Previous position: 17 (+5)
Maybe it’s too risky to think that the Titans should be in this position, but all the teams just above them showed signs of falling. They go up a little more than normal because of the low of all the others.
13. New Orleans Saints
Record: 3-2
Previous position: 20 (+7)
The Saints are living the “Jameizing Experience” in 2021, but they have good news: Several teams that aspire to the postseason are in bad shape. That could help this team a lot in their attempts to reach the playoffs.
14. Las Vegas Raiders
Record: 3-2
Previous position: 10 (-4)
Needless to say, the whole Jon Gruden scandal will have an effect on this team. The confidence is that the work of the staff can keep things afloat, but no one will be surprised if the Raiders start to drop in our Power Rankings.
15. Carolina Panthers
Record: 3-2
Previous position: 15 (=)
Losing to the Eagles was bad for you, but they may have some optimism considering other teams are on the decline. At least he keeps them in office for another week.
16. Denver Broncos
Record: 3-2
Previous position: 14 (-2)
The big question in Denver is whether this team will be able to rediscover the initial step. The Steelers questioned them, and another loss would be a real problem for Vic Fangio.
Our NFL Power Rankings with teams 17-24:
17. San Francisco 49ers
Record: 2-3
Previous position: 13 (-4)
The 49ers know that the start of Trey Lance’s career will not be easy. The problem is that they are not playing as one would expect, and it could be another year where injuries and changes in plans end up derailing them.
18. Minnesota Vikings
Record: 2-3
Previous position: 18 (=)
OK, they managed to win their second game, but… Last minute, after being overtaken and passed by the Lions? At the moment there are no arguments to make them go up the list.
19. Seattle Seahawks
Record: 2-3
Previous position: 12 (-7)
The worst thing for the Seahawks right now is not having a losing record… it’s that Russell Wilson will be out for at least a month. By the time the postseason returns, he may be completely out of reach.
20. New England Patriots
Record: 2-3
Previous position: 19 (-1)
It’s one thing to lose tight to the Buccaneers (something that can make you go up) and another is to beat the Texans in a hurry (who can make you go down easily). What they do against Dallas will give a very clear idea of what to expect from the Pats right now.
21. Chicago Bears
Record: 3-2
Previous position: 22 (+1)
Although they managed to win this week, doubts remain about the direction of this team. Another reason not to promote them further: We know things don’t work out when they face the Packers.
22. Pittsburgh Steelers
Record: 2-3
Previous position: 23 (+1)
The win over Denver comes as a veritable oxygen tank for a team that was quickly drowning in the season. Let’s see if facing another dying team can keep them afloat.
23. Philadelphia Eagles
Record: 2-3
Previous position: 24 (+1)
Believe it or not, the Eagles are the second best team in the NFC East. Now, that doesn’t mean they’re aiming for the postseason. It is simply a sign that they are progressing well in the season.
24. Washington Football Team
Record: 2-3
Previous position: 21 (-3)
It is a fact that Taylor Heinicke will not be able to win every game, especially when a bad game of his is combined with a catastrophic performance of the secondary defense.
The worst teams in our NFL Power Rankings:
25. Atlanta Falcons
Record: 2-3
Previous position: 28 (+3)
The good news for the Falcons is that Matt Ryan has enough experience to beat a single opponent like the Jets. The bad news is that they are not going to face the Jets every week.
26. Indianapolis Colts
Record: 1-4
Previous position: 25 (-1)
Monday’s loss, the way it happened, is a sign that the Colts have said goodbye to postseason aspirations. Now it’s time to think about what they can do to get back on track in 2022.
27. New York Giants
Record: 1-4
Previous position: 26 (-1)
The Giants could drop more places this week considering their terrible performance against the Cowboys, but the teams below did their part to keep them from sinking further.
28. Miami Dolphins
Record: 1-4
Previous position: 27 (-1)
Tua could play this week and it comes at a good time: The Dolphins have a relatively easy game against the Jaguars. Let’s see if they don’t end up giving one more disappointment.
29. Houston Texans
Record: 1-4
Previous position: 30 (+1)
The game against New England made it clear that the Texans are a team with a fighting spirit and, to say the least, they are not the joke we all imagined a few months ago.
30. New York Jets
Record: 1-4
Previous position: 29 (-1)
We all knew that the 2021 NFL Season would be a year of learning for the Jets, and they are living it that way. Not many victories will come, but you have to be confident that Robert Saleh will be able to change the destiny of this franchise.
31. Detroit Lions
Record: 0-5
Previous position: 31 (=)
If there is one team that has been unlucky this year, it has been the Lions. Not only have they lost all of their games thus far, they have miraculously lost at least a couple. The good news is that they show quite a bit of resilience.
32. Jacksonville Jaguars
Record: 0-5
Previous position: 32 (=)
Between rumors of a locker room that has no confidence in their coach and poor results on the field, it is not very difficult to believe that the Jaguars are the worst team in the NFL.
These are our NFL Power Rankings for Week 6 of the 2021 NFL Season. What changes would you make? We await your comments under this article and on our social networks, in addition to seeing you this Wednesday at 6:00 pm to talk about this list in our twitch channel.
