The Texans and Falcons keep getting their Charlie Sheen on while the Browns continue to search for the first victory of the season. New Orleans has moved up to No. 25 with Drew Brees' record setting night against San Diego. After losing to the Colts, the struggling Packers have dropped out of the top ten.
NFL Power Rankings: Week 6
32. Cleveland Browns (0-5): The Browns are winless, but Trent Richardson looks good. Stay optimistic, Cleveland. Your time will come. -RT
31. Jacksonville Jaguars (1-4): Jacksonville has been outscored 68-13 in the past two weeks. Enough said. -AD
30. Tennessee Titans (1-4): The Titans are allowing a league-worst 36.2 points per game. It's not all Chris Johnson's fault. -RT
29. Kansas City Chiefs (1-4): It's never a good sign when your quarterback is being booed at home while leaving the field with an injury. -AD
28. Carolina Panthers (1-4): Cam Newton has to be more effective than Sunday's 12 of 29 for 141 yards performance against the Seahawks. -RT
27. Oakland Raiders (1-3): Oakland is ranked dead last in overall rushing yards. The Raiders had the bye week to get some extra rest, but they'll be up against the undefeated Falcons on Sunday. -AD
26. Buffalo Bills (2-3): In the offseason, the Bills spent $100 million over six years on defensive end Mario Williams. In the past two games, Buffalo has allowed 97 points. That's almost one million dollars per point. -RT
25. New Orleans Saints (1-4): Sean Payton is now 1-0 this season. See what difference his presence makes? -AD
24. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-3): After losing three straight heading into a bye week, the Bucs will look to get back on track against the desperate Kansas City Chiefs. -RT
23. Miami Dolphins (2-3): Miami's last three games have all come down to last-minute finishes. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it isn't a good thing either. -AD
22. Indianapolis Colts (2-2): Andrew Luck is quickly building his legacy in Lucas Oil Stadium. Peyton Who? -RT
21. Washington Redskins (2-3): They have it listed as a “mild concussion”, but keep on eye on RG3 this week. -AD
20. New York Jets (2-3): Maybe the Jets trade Mark Sanchez to Kansas City before the deadline because I see Tim Tebow starting next Sunday. -RT
19. Detroit Lions (1-3): The Lions are playing the Eagles this week. If you like sloppy football, you're in luck. -AD
18. Cincinnati Bengals (3-2): Just when I was about to open up my bank account for some Bengals stock, they stunk it up at home against the Dolphins. -RT
17. St. Louis Rams (3-2): There's absolutely nothing special about this team but they're somehow 3-2 and undefeated at home. -AD
16. Seattle Seahawks (3-2): In their five games, Seattle's defense hasn't allowed over 20 points. This week the defense faces their toughest test yet, the New England Patriots. -RT
15. Arizona Cardinals (4-1): Are the Cardinals who we thought they were? Or are we just going to let them off the hook? We'll find out more this week when they host the Bills. -AD
14. Dallas Cowboys (2-2): Dallas's next five games include away games at Baltimore, Carolina, Atlanta and Philadelphia with a home game against the Giants in the middle. It's time for the stars to start shining. -RT
13. Green Bay Packers (2-3): Like a good neighbor State Farm is there … with a shanked field goal by Mason Crosby. Things aren't looking too good for the Packers right now who will reportedly lose Cedric Benson for about eight weeks. -AD
12. Denver Broncos (2-3): Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers. In the three losses for the Broncos, the offense has turned the football over eight times compared to just two turnovers in their couple of victories. -RT
11. San Diego Chargers (3-2): Only one of the five teams the Chargers have played this season has a winning record. And when they played that team (Atlanta), San Diego didn't even score a touchdown. Monday Night Football against the Broncos will give us a better understanding of the Chargers. -AD
10. Philadelphia Eagles (3-2): 3-2 with a point different of -19. That's not good, but somehow they're atop the NFC East. -RT
9. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-2): Rashard Mendenhall plays his first game of the season and the Steelers win. That isn't a coincidence. -AD
8. New York Giants (3-2): Yes it was Cleveland, but 200 rushing yards and one touchdown from Ahmad Bradshaw is nothing to sneeze at. -RT
7. Minnesota Vikings (4-1): Looking at the schedule, it's very possible that the Vikings could continue their winning-streak for a few weeks. -AD
6. Chicago Bears (4-1): 29.4 percent (5 of 17) of Chicago's touchdowns have been scored by their defense. -RT
5. Baltimore Ravens (4-1): Let's just say that Baltimore fans were happier about the Orioles this weekend compared to the Ravens. A win is a win though. -AD
4. New England Patriots (3-2): The Patriots took care of business against the Manning's Broncos, but they have yet to play a complete game. -RT
