NFL Power Rankings: Week 6
5. Pittsburgh Steelers – 4-1 – With Le’Veon Bell back in the mix the Steelers offense has huge play making abilities. Last week the Steelers trampled over the New York Jets exposing their faults. The Steelers defense held the Jets scoreless in the second half and the offense aired out the ball taking advantage of the absence of Darrell Revis. This week the Steelers come up against the struggling Miami Dolphins.
6. Dallas Cowboys – 4-1 – When the Cowboys lost Tony Romo before the season started no one expected them to be where they are going into week six. This team is being run by two rookies , quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott. Last week the Cowboys continued to impress holding the Bengals scoreless until the fourth quarter. This week the Cowboys will be put to the test against the Green Bay Packers.
7. Philadelphia Eagles – 3-1 – The Eagles got off to a hot start with their rookie quarterback Carson Wentz. Wentz came out not throwing an interception in his first three games. Last week the Eagles lost by one point to the Detriot Lions. They had a chance to pull out a victory but Wentz threw his first interception in the game suffering their first loss of the season. The Eagles look to bounce back this week against the Washington Redskins.
8. Seattle Seahawks – 3-1 – Coming off a bye week the Seahawks hope to come back healthy. Russell Wilson was playing with an injured ankle and with a week of rest he should be back at full strength. This week the Seahawks face off with a team they have had problems with in the past. Pete Carroll and the Seahawks are 1-3 against the Atlanta Falcons.
