After a handful of games for each team in the NFL this season, we are left with more questions than answers. Yes, most of the teams are simply not good, but what about teams like the San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers, or Seattle Seahawks on the NFC side? There are big question marks all around, but the hope is that the following Week 6 NFL Power Rankings will bring you a bit of clarity.
Our weekly NFL Power Rankings will be released here on FlurrySports every Tuesday, so make sure to check them out every single week to see which direction your team is trending.
NFL Power Rankings For Week 6
1) Kansas City Chiefs (Last Week: 1)
The Kansas City Chiefs picked up another win in prime time, and there is zero doubt who the best team in the NFL is. Yes, some questionable calls have gone their way, but nobody talks about the calls that have gone against them. And rightfully so, because this team is too good for penalties to lose them games. The Chiefs are off in Week 6, so we will see if they make a trade for a wide receiver.
2) Detroit Lions (2)
The Detroit Lions were off last week, and they will stay put in the Week 6 NFL Power Rankings.
3) Baltimore Ravens (5)
The Baltimore Ravens have now proven they can win games with their running game or the arm of Lamar Jackson. The MVP passed for 348 yards and four touchdowns over the Cincinnati Bengals. Gone are the days when the Ravens must run the ball or only throw to Mark Andrews. Baltimore can win in a variety of different ways, and that’s why they jump up in the Week 6 NFL Power Rankings.
4) Houston Texans (4)
The Houston Texans picked up another win, defeating the Buffalo Bills. However, the Nico Collins injury will certainly hurt this offense. The good news is that he should return in October at some point, and Joe Mixon is expected to return this week. The Texans are a solid all-around team, as long as they don’t beat themselves.
5) Minnesota Vikings (7)
There no longer is any reason to doubt the Minnesota Vikings. This past week, they won an international game against the New York Jets. They have beaten several teams who have been predicted to make the playoffs, so no matchup is too big. However, the loss of Aaron Jones should not be understated. He suffered a hip injury in the game. At the time of writing, we do not know how long Jones will be out. However, without Jones, this is a different offense.
6) San Francisco 49ers (3)
No, the San Francisco 49ers are not healthy. In fact, they are far from it. However, there isn’t a good reason for them losing to the Arizona Cardinals. If the coaching staff wants to be respected like an elite staff, they need to get wins on off days or when the team is beat up. Now, they turn around to play on Thursday. While it’s not a must-win game, it would do a lot of good for the 49ers to win in Seattle on Thursday.

7) Philadelphia Eagles (8)
The Philadelphia Eagles enjoyed a much-needed bye week. They will look to be healthier heading into Week 6, getting several players back in the lineup.
8) New York Jets (6)
The New York Jets, and Aaron Rodgers, are beat up. However, the NFL is doing them zero favors. After a physical game overseason, the Jets were not rewarded with a bye week. Instead, they get an important divisional game against the Buffalo Bills. We will see Buffalo try to be physical and run the ball. Will the Jets be able to hold up?
9) Atlanta Falcons (10)
The Atlanta Falcons were given a mini-bye week after pulling off a tough divisional win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The offense was on fire in this game, with Kirk Cousins throwing for over 500 yards. The defense, however, will need to tighten up in order to the Falcons to be viewed as true contenders.
10) Buffalo Bills (9)
If the Buffalo Bills are not in a position to run the football, they really struggle. Hell, they struggle even if they are running it. This is one of the teams that would benefit most from trading for a wide receiver. Without an addition to their offense, the Bills are no longer a team you fear. Of course, if you have read the NFL Power Rankings here since the beginning, you would know the Bills were never actual threats this season.
11) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11)
12) Dallas Cowboys (14)
13) Pittsburgh Steelers (12)
14) New Orleans Saints (13)
15) Seattle Seahawks (15)
16) Los Angeles Chargers (16)
17) Green Bay Packers (17)
18) Washington Commanders (20)
19) Arizona Cardinals (21)
20) Cincinnati Bengals (18)
21) Los Angeles Rams (19)
