NFL Power Rankings - Week 6: One post that sums up each team so far
The NFL Power Rankings are selected by a panel of theScore's football editors.
This week, we identify one post that sums up every team's season so far.
1. San Francisco 49ers (5-0)
Previous Rank: 1
49ers have about 8 players who when you watch you're like, Oh, that guy is awesome.
— Ralph D. Russo (@ralphDrussoAP) October 9, 2023
2. Miami Dolphins (4-1)
Previous Rank: 3
We have reached the point in life where the Dolphins put up 30+ points, 500+ yards and the reaction is like, well, I mean, it could have been better
— Joe Schad (@schadjoe) October 8, 2023
3. Philadelphia Eagles (5-0)
Previous Rank: 4
Jalen Hurts has won each of his last 11 regular-season starts (11/20/22-10/8/23), tying his #Eagles record (also 12/21/21-11/3/22).
— John Gonoude (@john_gonoude) October 9, 2023
He is the only #NFL QB since the 1970 merger to have multiple 11+ game winning streaks at age 25-or-younger.
4. Kansas City Chiefs (4-1)
Previous Rank: 5
if I didn’t watch the other Chiefs seasons can I jump right in with the Taylor Swift one or will I be lost?
— Alexa (@LexaDelRey) October 2, 2023
5. Buffalo Bills (3-2)
Previous Rank: 2
The Bills without Milano are a completely different defense… then add the Tre White injury… Bills could be in trouble this year
— J. Gray (@JGrayJets) October 8, 2023
6. Detroit Lions (4-1)
Previous Rank: 9
That's 14 consecutive games with 20 points or more for the Lions, a new franchise record. Ben Johnson, good at his job.
— John Niyo (@JohnNiyo) October 8, 2023
7. Baltimore Ravens (3-2)
Previous Rank: 7

8. Seattle Seahawks (3-1)
Previous Rank: 8
Seeing what Bill Belichick is going through in the post-Brady era, it makes appreciation for what Pete Carroll has done that much greater. Changing quarterbacks and maintaining success is difficult to do.
— Corbin K. Smith (@CorbinSmithNFL) October 8, 2023
9. Dallas Cowboys (3-2)
Previous Rank: 6
probably not a good time to mention the combined record of the teams the cowboys have beaten this season is 4-11.

— Ryder Cochrane (@RyderCochrane) October 1, 2023
12. Cleveland Browns (2-2)
Previous Rank: 11
You can compare the level of the San Francisco 49ers defense and a Cleveland Browns defense. Very similar.
— CamFromCanada🇨🇦 (@camfromcanada3) October 9, 2023
The difference in the offenses would be like the Browns are a decent junior varsity team and the 49ers are the 1972 Miami Dolphins.
13. Cincinnati Bengals (2-3)
Previous Rank: 19
Bengals win and Joe Burrow looked like the baller we know he is when healthy.
— Matt Deadwards (@MattEdwards) October 8, 2023
Jump back on the bandwagon, kids.
14. Atlanta Falcons (3-2)
Previous Rank: 20
“WHAT A PLAY BY BIJAN ROBINSON, and the Falcons will now punt it away” all season long might kill me

15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-1)
Previous Rank: 15
“The Bucs are irrelevant without Tom Brady.”
— GatorMagicFL (@GatorMagicFL) October 2, 2023
“Baker Mayfield needs to recognize he’s no longer an elite athlete for his position.”
“Bucs will go 1-3 first few games.”
“Tampa will be at the bottom of the NFC South.”
“The Bucs are officially an awful football team.”

Legit the best backup in football so far in 2023.
20. New York Jets (2-3)
Previous Rank: 23
In his first 24 career games, Zach Wilson only threw for a 70%+ completion rate once

He’s now done it back to back weeks. That is growth
21. New Orleans Saints (3-2)

it is hilarious the Saints media shamed Pete Carmichael into using motion and it's working
— Gregg Rosenthal (@greggrosenthal) October 8, 2023
22. Tennessee Titans (2-3)

Lost in the hilarity of #Titans-Colts was the fact that for the 23rd straight game, the Titans failed to score at least 30 points.
— TreJean Watkins (@TreWatkins099) October 9, 2023
23. Minnesota Vikings (1-4)
Previous Rank: 25
Vikings fans 2022: no we're not fraud the close game thing is just good coaching and clutch players I'm so tired of people discounting us
— StartJPLosman (@startkyIeorton) October 8, 2023
Vikings fans 2023: sucks but what can you do just bad luck to lose all these one score games
24. Las Vegas Raiders (2-3)

Previous Rank: 28
The Cardinals just don't have anywhere close to the talent necessary to be truly competitive this season.
— Alex Clancy (@ClancysCorner) October 1, 2023
Proof of concept is becoming stronger and stronger every week. Coaching. Offense. Defense.
The Arizona Cardinals will be a problem in 2024.
30. New England Patriots (1-4)
Previous Rank: 27
The two worst losses of Bill Belichick's career have come in back to back weeks -- unchartered territory for owner Robert Kraft, who was frustrated by last season and expected the playoffs this season.
