Jetnation Week Five Power Ratings

by Nick Ferraro
1.      Chicago Bears – The Bears rolled again in week five.  They hold the top spot with a bullet.
2.      Philadelphia Eagles – McNabb is quieting his critics, and the Eagles just sacked Bledsoe again.
3.      Indianapolis Colts – The Colts needed more late heroics from Manning to win.  Maybe they took the Titans lightly, but they definitely enter the bye week with questions to answer.
4.      Denver Broncos –

The Broncos have allowed just one touchdown in four games.  Plummer will need to find his groove from last year to get Denver back to the AFC Championship game.

5.      San Diego Chargers – The Chargers might be the most complete team in the AFC right now.
6.      Seattle Seahawks – I hope the Seahawks spent the bye week figuring out how to get yards on the ground without Alexander.  They get a test this week at St. Louis.
7.      Baltimore Ravens – The Ravens need to find ways to get more points on the board.  With their defense, they don’t need many.
8.      Atlanta Falcons – The Falcons have found some big plays in the passing game thus far.  With their running game, that is bad news for the NFC.
9.      New England Patriots – The Pats are 4-1 and will apparently win the AFC East by default.  After that, things will get much tougher.

10. Cincinnati Bengals – The Bengals have to find Chad Johnson more often.  They also need better play on defense to take advantage of the Steelers slow start.Â
