Week 5 Power Rankings
10/05/2022
By: Jeff Yoder
Eagles & Bills Remain 1-2; Chiefs, Packers, Cowboys, Vikings & Bengals on the Rise
It’s another Wednesday rendition of The Sportsletter’s NFL Power Rankings. The team and I have conjured up this weekly rankings snapshot based on what we’ve seen over the first four weeks. The Eagles and Bills both fell behind by double digits on Sunday before grinding out wins that proved their moxie — both against other top-10 teams. The Chiefs and Packers climbed the board and jumped the Ravens and Dolphins, and the Cowboys and Bengals appear to be hitting strides as the season progresses. There’s only one undefeated team and one winless team after four weeks. Everybody else? They’re still kicking.
