The NFL Power Rankings going into week six are headed by the only undefeated team in the NFL, the Minnesota Vikings. Being the only stand out team has the rest of the NFL vying to knock them out of the top spot. 

The NFL Power Rankings for this week have most of the teams sitting pretty even with a 3-2 record or a 2-3 record. A select few have one loss and only one team is currently without a win. This week saw the come back of Tom Brady after his suspension and the Panthers play without their star quarterback Cam Newton.

Atlanta took down both Superbowl contenders from a year ago in back to back weeks with a dominating offense. The Eagles rookie quarterback threw his first interception and suffered his first loss. The Jets and 49ers continued to struggle falling to 1-4. The Redskins won their third straight trying to keep up with the top teams of the NFC East.

While Dallas continued to impress with their dynamic rookies and the Chargers suffered their third straight loss. Week six kicks off with a division clash between the Denver Broncos and the San Diego Chargers where both teams have something to prove.

This week the teams will try to continue to pull away from the rest of the pack or right their season. Who knows by the conclusion of week six there might be a new number one team.
