Mixed fortunes for the Lions and Patriots this week. While Dallas and Buffalo fell this weekend, Detroit continues its rise to the top of this Power Ranking. This week, Jared Goff’s partners even enter the Top 5 of this ranking for the first time this year. At the same time, New England cannot stop its infernal fall to the bottom. You have to go down to 29th place to find any trace of Bill Belichick’s men. The situation is serious.
As a reminder, this hierarchy is not only based on the number of successes, but also on current form. If two teams are close and haven’t played each other recently, one wonders which one would win if the match were played today. Beating the strongest is not going to propel you to the top in the blink of an eye. Losing to one of the dunces won’t plunge you into the abyss either. One can win and tumble, bow and climb. This is the merciless law of Power Ranking…

As weird as it may be to read in the 21st century, New England is indeed one of the worst teams in the league.
Week 6: trip to the Raiders.
30. New York Giants (1-4) -4
The regime in place is not (yet) in danger, but the Giants have clearly lost the line.
Week 6: trip to the Bills.
31. Denver Broncos (1-4) -2
As Sean Payton said, the Broncos were not good with Nathaniel Hackett at the helm last year. Except they’re not much better this season…
Week 6: trip to the Chiefs.
32. Carolina Panthers (0-5) -1
The worst part is that the Panthers don’t even have their 2024 first-round pick.
