The Chiefs are still the top team, but the Panthers and Eagles are climbing to the top of each list.
We’re now entering the middle stretch of the NFL season, with the contenders and pretenders starting to separate themselves. Of course, the Chiefs remain the only unbeaten team left, so they’re the consensus No. 1 team on all the major power rankings.
Yahoo Sports has the Philadelphia Eagles and Carolina Panthers in its top 5. The Eagles took care of business at home against the Arizona Cardinals, and the Panthers — led by quarterback Cam Newton — are on a two-game winning streak.
The Eagles moved up in ESPN’s power rankings, too. They were No. 8 last week but moved up to No. 4. The Panthers and Patriots also climbed up this list after their respective Week 5 victories.
The Cleveland Browns, on the other hand, bring up the rear once again after a hard loss to the Jets, who are somehow 3-2. The San Francisco 49ers are near the bottom of each list. They loss in overtime against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 5.
Lastly, SB Nation’s Hope Rankings has the Chiefs as the top team heading into the Week 6, but the Eagles are right behind Kansas City at No. 2. Also, the Jaguars finally cracked the top 5. This isn’t your ordinary power rankings, but the list gives you an idea about which team has the most hope going into Week 6.
