2010 NFL Power Rankings Week 6

The (4-1) Baltimore Ravens stay atop the #1 spot in our rankings after dismantling the (2-3) Denver Broncos 31-17. One of the biggest falls is the (3-2) New Orleans Saints; after losing to the (3-2) Arizona Cardinal, the Super Bowl hangover is happening right before our eyes.

The (3-2) Houston Texans also dropped way down the list, and the (2-3) San Diego Chargers are no longer serious contenders after losing to the (2-3) Oakland Raiders.

RK	Team	Record	Comment
1	Ravens	4-1-0	Has wins over two of the best teams in the league already. (Rob)
2	Steelers	3-1-0	They can only improve on offense with Big Ben back.  We know their defense is excellent. (Gene)
3	Jets	4-1-0	Huge Monday night win, Holmes will make this team even better. (Rob)
4	Colts	3-2-0	Their pass rush is explosive, but their run defense is porous. Peyton Manning is their best shot. (Conoon)
5	Giants	3-2-0	They’re rebounding nicely under Coughlin. (Alex)
6	Patriots	3-1-0	Their blowout game against Miami was not convincing. They still have a terrible defense. Let’s see what they can do against Baltimore. (Conoon)
7	Falcons	4-1-0	Moving up on the depth charts— starting to put it all together now. (Gene)
8	Packers	3-2-0	Rodgers better get healthy. (Alex)
9	Saints	3-2-0	Elite teams can overcome their turnovers… this team is no longer elite. (Rob)
10	Bears	4-1-0	Mike Martz has a stellar back with Matt Forte. (Alex)
11	Eagles	3-2-0	It’s always nice to win with an inferior QB at the helm. (Rob)
12	Titans	3-2-0	Knocked out the Cowboys. They are making noise. (Gene)
13	Texans	3-2-0	I knew a weak defense would hurt them later in the season, now the offense is affected by it. (Conoon)
14	Chiefs	3-1-0	Battled well against Indy. Showing they are for real for the time being. (Gene)
15	Redskins	3-2-0	So far the best team in their division. They will be tested against the Colts next week. (Conoon)

This week’s rankings were based on a poll of our staff writers: Conoon Kim, Gene Winner, Rob Brown, and Alex Bishop.
