Category: NFL Power Rankings Week 5 Bengals hit top three Steelers fall

The Week 5 Power Rankings are here -- and so is some serious movement. Yes, at the quarter pole, we're reshuffling the deck. Hey, but that's what makes this whole deal fun, right? Almost as fun as The Seahawks won the football game. Stripes blew a call that would've factored in. Cake is delicious. Patrick Claybon (@PatrickClaybon) Agreed on the first point. The had 55 minutes to do something on offense. And yes, we'll never know what would've happened from the 1-yard line. Oh, and I'm going with mint-chocolate ice cream cake, maybe with a plastic on top -- instead of the SpongeBob piece Baskin-Robbins always puts on there nowadays. No SpongeBob.Detroit wasn't the only team to experience misfortune in Week 4. If the Cowboys ever heal up and actually make the playoffs, the NFL MVP should go to their training staff. Scott Barnes (@barnes2000) And they are down two more players -- ugh.Yes, you will find that those dropped more than a couple spots, based on more than just . In fact, they were leapfrogged by a division rival in the proce s, keeping the NFC East's highest-ranked team parked squarely at 15. (At least it's the top half, right?)For the full hierarchical breakdown, take a look below. Feel free Joe Harris Jersey to share your take: is the place. If you decide to hold out on leaving a comment, make sure you .Let the di sension commence!NOTE: The lineup below reflects changes from our .PREVIOUS RANKINGS: | | | | If you close your eyes and think of nothing else through a quarter of the season, dream only of rolling to his left, flicking a 40-something-yard throw perfectly over the shoulder of a defensive back to a guy wearing 89 in green and white, hugged up against the sideline, arms outstretched. set up a score that gave Green Bay a 14-3 advantage Consider it yet another exhibit of how unstoppable this team can be in significant situations, as Jones' grab-and-drag converted a third-and-seven in a 7-3 ballgame, on a day when the did not look like the offensive juggernaut they are. Man, what a play from the league's MVP and a wideout clearly on his wavelength. The bye week in New England meant additional time for fans to send along their tweets regarding how awesome their team is. No fanbase tweets such things more ... fans hop on Twitter as much, but in their case, it's more *"Hey, we're still kinda good!"* or -- a favorite -- *"Your (sic) an idiot."* Truth is, New England is a premier team right now -- and surprisingly, the defense is a large reason for that. The unit might not be setting the world on fire, but is solid enough for , who, well, is setting the world on fire. How difficult it must be to gameplan for these right now. You never know who's going to get the football or be the focal point of the offense. got more touches out of the backfield than , but the latter scored three touchdowns. A week after posted 227 yards, he was outgained by (84 yards on four catches), who had posted all of 77 yards combined through the three prior weeks of play. Meanwhile, the run-pa s ratio was fantastic, with coordinator Hue Jackson overseeing 26 run plays versus 24 pa ses. You couldn't draw it up any better. If Wade Phillips doesn't win the A sistant Coach of the Year award this season, seriously strange things will be afoot at the NFL Honors show ... like walking away with the MVP. Give -- who sometimes looks like a 17-year-old with old-man strength out there -- and heaps of glory. Sing songs about 's in (and about ). But make no mistake, it's clear who this team's MVP is: Wade. Phillips. What in the world has gotten into these ? Dan Quinn certainly has exceeded everyone's expectations, especially on defense. The undefeated now have a turnover differential of plus-six (including four takeaways second only to Carolina in the NFL. On a day when the racked up 48 points, how in the world did only catch four pa ses for 38 yards? If you're a Jones fantasy owner, seeing the final score and then seeing Jones' output must have been like getting excited after finding the four quarters you need to wash your underwear ... only to learn your landlord suddenly changed the price to five quarters. Not to be too specific or anything. Not like I recommended Jones in daily fantasy last week on national TV or anything. You think would like to have that last throw back? Watching live, I thought there was no way Arizona was losing the game. If you mi sed it, Palmer had rookie wide open on a slant on fourth-and-2 with his team down by two points late in the fourth quarter -- and overthrew him by a couple of yards. Of course, set an ominous tone for the day. For now, Arizona is 3-1 with a clear lead in the NFC West. The Cards have heading into their Week 9 bye. When they Bruce Arians could be 6-2 and fighting for first place. Don't want to look ahead, but we're looking ahead. Why does nobody talk about the ? Should we start calling them the little, since they are vastly ignored? Sure, your friendly writer doesn't have them ranked as high as other undefeated teams ... but he did even after went down. That's the one spot in the universe where the ma ses and parted ways this season. Yet, all this club has done is win nine of its last 10 games. I don't want to you off the deep end, fans, but this Darrell Bevell offense struggles so much that it might be too much for even a top-flight defense to overcome. Fortunately, Seattle's defense is even better than top-flight -- with back in the fold, that is. Twenty drives in the past two games: 18 punts, one fumble, one field goal allowed. Good grief, these guys are dominant. Remember Week 1, when the ? Yeah, those days are gone. Oh, , how you make games interesting. Still not sure whether that was a fumble toward the end of I'd say no. Either way, count me among the millions (thousands Kevin Durant Jersey ?) who thought the game was over at that point. Given the holding penalty to extend the ' last-gasp drive (Miami was down 27-14 with le s than seven minutes to play) in the fourth, then the OPI on the apparent touchdown, then the Ivory fumble non-fumble, followed by ... thought this tweet the most appropriate way to describe the New York win: That's so Jets. Aaron Nagler (@AaronNagler) in Buffalo. The score might have been 24-10, but this was one of those games fans will look back on as a lost opportunity. Especially considering the lo s to the was at home. That's not to say the didn't earn the win, but when you suffer through 17 penalties, go 0 for 3 in the red zone and turn the football over twice, you're suffering abuse at your own hands. Major kudos to the mafia, who solved our last week (answer: Joe Cribbs) in droves, to the point that we couldn't respond to every answer. in a game most didn't give them a chance to win, thanks to some timely catches by a timely (and explosive) and a reaaal timely read-and-react pick What a play that was. So fans are disappointed with the lo s, and with the organization, but 2-2 with an interconference lo s is no big deal. If Mike Zimmer can push this roster to 10 wins, Sunday's "L" won't factor into tiebreakers. The NFL got its first real dose of . Man, oh man -- if that's what we're in for... Move over, , and take notice, . Gurley looked awesome. For a big man with an almost Eddie George-esque body, Gurley produced some gorgeous runs. Then the rookie had the presence of mind -- or good sense to listen to his teammates in the huddle -- to down himself and burn clock late. That play reminded me of a similar occurrence when Brian Westbrook was toasting the in 2007 and tackled himself after a big run late in the game, to keep the clock running. This Gurley kid has some of Westbrook's shimmy, with the stature to be a bell-cow back in the era of the committee. As a non-SEC watcher, am I overreacting on Gurley? ( ) Mixed reviews regarding Some felt the vet fared well, while others thought he was terrible (mostly due to The answer probably lies somewhere Garrett Temple Jersey in between, although it was clear offensive coordinator Todd Haley was hamstrung in his play-calling ability. who for years had been one of the top kickers in pro football. is no gimme. Sans -- and, apparently, -- the -led Sunday. That's two football weekends in a row this team has pulled an escape act. Wondering how the did it vs. Jacksonville? Here's the answer: They made the plays when they had to, starting with -- but not limited to -- making his kicks. Like it or not, that's part of the game. Here's what's not the answer for this team: firing Chuck Pagano midseason. Show me multiple times that's worked in pro football. Sneaky, sneaky, these are. Big Blue is 2-2 and suddenly tied for first place in the NFC East, albeit with a head-to-head lo s to the . Yet, with the latter starting , absorbing numerous injuries and having lost two in a row, New York is in the driver's seat. eventually could loom large, as well. Effort of the day in Buffalo: ' to put his team up 24-10 in the fourth quarter. Doesn't matter who you root for -- that was a staggeringly awesome football play by an underrated running back. #respect seemingly has sealed up another MVP trophy (OK, maybe it's a little early ...), discu sion abounds about and his arm, and people lament the punchle s sans . Meanwhile, one QB continues to call plays at the line, holler ince santly and play Hall of Very Good (if not ) football. looked fantastic again on Sunday, racking up 358 yards and three touchdowns through the air. He avoided throwing a single interception, and currently boasts a robust 105.3 pa ser rating on the season. Some yawn -- we take notice. #17 The season started off so glowingly, or swimmingly, or whatever word would aptly describe and wingin' it like Len Dawson out there. Three tough games have come and gone since that over the , and the have no more wins now than they did then. Look, then traveling was clearly a tall order. What Kansas City needed was merely to steal one of those games. late in the lo s to the is the play of the ' young season thus far. Next up: Call it a must-win. Seriously. The hits keep coming -- except this isn't like the 1999 Rangers with Pudge, Palmeiro and Juan Gone. Nope, these are the IR kind. -- he of the University of North Texas (a fine, fine institution a certain NFL.com hack may or may not have attended) -- . is in the league's concu sion protocol. The good news is ... Well, there isn't too much good news, other than the fact Dallas is hanging in games. At least . That should go well. Considering surely isn't sticking his chest out over this latest performance. Speaking of his chest, let's hope he doesn't let any more footballs You have to feel for the guy, who was, after all, one of the reasons Oakland got off to a promising 2-1 start. He has 377 total yards of offense in four games, and before the season is done, will probably average over 100 yards from scrimmage per game. Murray is legit, and despite the fact that the highlight shows are making him look like anything but right now, he will be one of the top running backs in football this year. #markitdown on Sunday was a thing of football beauty. Making that kind of grab -- then holding on despite immediately getting popped -- is worthy of a division win in and of itself. Leaning on the running game (32 rushes for 127 yards) and one of the better front sevens in the league led to Washington winning third down -- and, ultimately, the game. Philly went 4 for 13 on third and fourth downs, while the 'Skins were 9 for 17 -- all the difference in . Nice poise, . As Cousin Eddie would say, the AFC North has been on John Harbaugh's club . The escaped Pittsburgh with . At 1-3, we're saying there's a Jeff Green Jersey chance. Major props to , who hasn't panicked -- and looked the part of a feature back Thursday night. Up until then, he had been plowing into walls, not holes. but is that the difference between winning and losing for Chip Kelly's bunch right now? Sitting on the set of "NFL GameDay Blitz" on NFL Now (fun show, if you haven't caught it), Ike Taylor kept reminding us how different it is for a back like Murray or to get the ball out of the shotgun, as opposed to receiving it in the pistol or I-formation, where a back can get some push-off. It's a worthy thought. Meanwhile, , looked more like the quarterback we saw in than what, or who, we saw . #PowerRankingspositivethoughts It was bye time in Nashville -- Toby Keith, Brooks & Dunn and the guy with the seashell chokers all took the week off. So did the 1-2 , who have been far peppier through three games than most anticipated. Sure, was gut-wrenching, but I don't want to be a Negative Nancy: How about the fact that Tenne see isn't laying down for anybody right now? The biggest area to improve going forward? Limiting big plays in the pa sing game. You've heard about -- and -- ad nauseam by now. It was a horrible break for a team that climbed back into a tough football game. Did it lose the game? No. Rarely does one play do that. Does Detroit's defense deserve way more credit for its performance? Absolutely. I was listening to some really bad '80s music with Daniel Jeremiah in the locker room at NFL Network, discu sing what the problem is with the ' offense, and DJ brought up this new system and whether it's the appropriate fit for . He isn't the only one to suggest Stafford mi ses Scott Linehan. The ' attack this season looks dysfunctional even by standards. **Side note 1:** is a difference maker. **Side note 2:** was DJ's song of choice. </content:power-ranking> Is this a bad time to let Jags fans know ? Too soon? People were mercile s in their ripping of Scobee, who mi sed two kicks into a 10 mph wind while kicking hurt for the . Meanwhile, mi ses two long kicks -- in what is e sentially a dome -- and keeps his job. You don't have to tell Jags fans that Myers should've made that last one -- and you also don't have to tell them what an outstanding pro Scobee was in Jacksonville. **Random thought:** showed signs of being the QB the franchise was hoping for, but I still wish he used his legs even more. </content:power-ranking> Whole lotta folks have been howling for . Well, just shot them all a one-finger salute with his stellar performance . For all those people who are still howling for John Football -- side note: McCown might be old enough to actually have seen in the theater -- the staff clearly feels that the veteran gives the team the best chance to win. Hard to argue with 32-of-41 pa sing for 356 yards, two touchdowns and no picks. -- on an interim basis, of course. Last time I saw Campbell, he was sporting and catching a touchdown pa s in Texas Stadium vs. the . The tight end-turned-head coach now faces the challenge of leading an AFC East squad that has both games left against the , as well as road tests vs. the and . Miami might go 0-6 in the division. One month ago, many analysts had this team challenging New England. So much to say about -- most importantly, how nice it was to see the finally get some on an offseason move. In this case, it was paying out major dividends with . The acquisitions of the last few years ( , , and so on) largely have failed to translate into wins. On Sunday, the Spiller pickup reversed this trend. And for all those claiming is showing clear signs of regre sion, tell me this: How do you measure the value of team leadership? Just wondering. That much-maligned defense came to play in The Giant Altar to Denim . OK, so maybe San Francisco has dropped three in a row since , but holding to 17 points and 5 for 15 on third down is pretty doggone good -- even if no one in the Bay Area has ever uttered the phrase "doggone good." The offense? 3.9 yards per play. No more commentary needed. Or wanted, I bet. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Jersey Houston got back in the fold and played a team that had just . So where in the world did emanate from? Bear in mind, that score came with the tapping -- er, stomping on -- the brakes in the second half. It's back to the drawing board for a defense that really could use Wade Phillips right now. There, I said it. Props to , who has made more than his fair share of big kicks for the over the years. (The 2006 divisional-round win over Seattle immediately springs to mind.) The longest-tenured member of the team sealed the deal on -- one that came against a club that is clearly no joke. And hey, if you are going to rip on a routine basis, you'd better give him credit when he goes 5 for 8 while driving the team nearly 50 yards in the two-minute drill, setting up Gould for . (Oh, and that included a bad drop, too.) Before you start pulling out the turnover tabulator on , who logged four interceptions , how about a little perspective? Vinny Testaverde, who ended up having a distinguished career, threw 35 picks in Year 2 for this very franchise. (OK, so Vinny's best days might not have come in the creamsicles, but I digre s.) How about , who has led the NFL in interceptions three times -- and has almost as many rings in a strong box somewhere? (Do people still use strong boxes, or is that too "Da Vinci Code"?)
