Post-Week 6 Power RankingsTop 101. Philadelphia - 5-1 despite a tough schedule to start the season; they are legit contenders
2. Kansas City - looked awful in a loss that wasn't as close as the final score
3. Pittsburgh - they are still a schizo team, but 4-2 is 4-2, and that was an impressive win at KC; they'd be the best team if they were that prepared every week
4. Washington - major scare against SF, but still have looked great for most of the season
5. New England - seems crazy for them to be this high, given how bad their D is, but it is getting a little better, and the offense is just fine
6. New Orleans - their defense being good suddenly has to be biggest surprise of October
7. Carolina - as always, Cam has a really high ceiling and a low floor; good luck getting what you are getting from week to week
8. Denver - brutal home loss to a 0-5 team; the next month will say a lot about this team
9. LA Rams - nice road win over a game Jags team
10. Seattle - all of their upcoming tough games are on the road, so they have a chance to make a run
Trending UpMinnesota - the NFC North is theirs for the taking now
Miami - can be a playoff team if the offense gets it together at all; the D is legit
Houston - can Watson keep it up?
Arizona - will a rejuvenated AP get them to the playoffs?
Tennessee - can they start living up to the hype on a consistent basis?
Trending DownGreen Bay - 4-1 with Rodgers, now destined for 6-10 or 7-9 without him
Oakland - defense stinks, and the problems on offense are aplenty
Detroit - the defense has gone from being a strength to a major liability, just like that
Dallas - can they turn it around?
Atlanta - the Super Bowl loss hangover is real
Bottom 528. Chicago - a lot to like about this team, but a lot of work to still do
29. Ny Giants - gutsy win, but too little too late
30. Indianapolis - like the Seattle game, played pretty well for a while and then fell apart
31. San Francisco - playing teams tough, but can't win
32. Cleveland -
NFL MVP Top 51. Carson Wentz - this guy will be in the top tier of NFL QBs very soon
2. Tom Brady - if he stays healthy, this award is his to win, now that Rodgers is hurt
3. Alex Smith - stock is dropping a bit after that pitiful performance
4. Kareem Hunt - will need to carry more of the load as the passing game slows down a bit
5. DeShaun Watson - amazing what a different a QB makes
