Week 6 NFL Power Rankings 2009

After an intriguing Week 5, the 2009 NFL is up and rolling. The Giants continue to roll and the Denver Broncos are the talk of the NFL after becoming the league's most surprising 5-0 team.  Not to mention, Tom Brady and his teammates are starting to look like the Pats of old.

Here are some NFL Power Rankings for Week 6 (Last week's ranking is in brackets) :

1 (1) New York Giants (5-0) The Giants made JaMarcus Russell look like the worst quarterback in the free world.

2 (2) New Orleans Saints (4-0) A bye week shouldn't slow the Saints' momentum too much.

3 (3) Indianapolis Colts (5-0) The Colts effectively ended the Titans season. How long can they stay undefeated?

4 (4) Minnesota Vikings (5-0) If you had to pick the Vikes MVP, would it be Brett Favre, Adrian Peterson, or Jared Allen?

5 (8) Denver Broncos (5-0) For one day at least, the student surpassed the teacher. Josh McDaniels managed to outwit Bill Belichick while having his team wear those ridiculous yellow and brown uniforms.

6 (12)  Cincinnati Bengals (4-1) The Bengals look like world beaters. And Mike Zimmer may prove to be an inspiration for the rest of the season.

7 (7) New York Jets (3-2) The Jets fought hard, but lost to the Dolphins. At least Braylon Edwards looks like he many not be a bust.

8 (6) Baltimore Ravens (3-2) Sure, Ray Lewis nearly killed Chad Ochocinco, but the Ravens are looking vulnerable.

9 (15) Philadelphia Eagles (3-1) Donovan McNabb looked like he hasn't missed a beat.

10 (5) New England Patriots (3-2) A bad week for Boston sports fans. The Pats looked old in comparison to a young, flying Broncos team.

11 (9) Chicago Bears (3-1) Sure, they're 3-1, but do you get the sense that there's something fragile about this team?

12 (13) Atlanta Falcons (3-1) Everybody is in love with Matt Ryan, including this guy.

13 (11) Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2) Sure they won, but the Steelers have been outscored 55-13 in the fourth quarter this season.

14 (10) San Francisco 49ers (3-2) A scary loss for the Niners. Dre Bly's fumble symbolized just how everything went wrong for the Niners this week.

15 (17) Dallas Cowboys (3-2) Miles Austin helped the Cowboys narrowly avoid a humiliating loss to the Chiefs.

16 (14) San Diego Chargers (2-2) How long before LT gets back to form? Will he ever get back to form?

17 (21) Miami Dolphins (2-3) Viva la Wildcat!

18 (19) Arizona Cardinals (2-2)  They've scored 85 points and allowed 89 points. They've beaten two teams with losing records and lost to two teams with winning records. Sounds like a middling team to me.

19 (16) Green Bay Packers (2-2) Do you get the feeling the Pack are glad to have the Vikings game out of the way, even if it was a loss?

20 (18)  Houston Texans (2-3) Failing to tie the game from the one-yard line is just another example of the Texans inability to score in the red zone.

21 (24) Carolina Panthers (1-3) The Panthers just won their first game in 287 days.

22 (20) Jacksonville Jaguars (2-3) Why did I pick David Garrard on my fantasy team? What was I thinking?

23 (22) Seattle Seahawks (2-3) The Seahawks are as messed up as Owen Schmitt's forehead.

24 (27) Detroit Lions (1-4) Considering how many terrible teams there are in the NFL this year, the Lions aren't looking that bad.

25 (25) Washington Redskins (2-3) The Jim Zorn Deathwatch has begun.

26 (23) Buffalo Bills (1-4) Lost to the Browns in a turtle derby.

27 (26) Tennessee Titans (0-5) The Titans are done for the season. How long before the return of Vince Young to the starting lineup?

28 (31)  Kansas City Chiefs (0-5) You get the feeling that they're going to sneak out a win or two in the near future.

29 (28) Cleveland Browns (1-4) Won despite nine dropped passes by receivers. And that's without Braylon Edwards around. Derek Anderson finished with a stat line of  2 for 17 for 23 yards, about as bad a line as a winning quarterback could possibly have.

30 (29) Oakland Raiders (1-4) Somewhere, Jeff Garcia is laughing. Hell, even Jeff George may be having a chuckle.

31 (30) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-5) The Bucs haven't had this bad a start in 13 years. How long before they go back to the Bucco Bruce logo?

32 (32) St. Louis Rams (0-5) Why exactly are Rush Limbaugh and Al Sharpton getting into a pissing match over the sale of this terrible team? Oh, that's right. It's because they're both massive attention whores.
