NFL Week 6 Power Rankings: 49ers Stay No. 1, Chiefs Unbeaten

NFL Week 6 power rankings are here, and the league’s top tier is getting crowded. The San Francisco 49ers sit at No. 1 after improving to 5-0, while the Kansas City Chiefs remain unbeaten at 4-0 following their bye. With the Vikings also perfect and the Jaguars and Ravens at 4-1, the NFL Week 6 power rankings from Pro Football Network show a tight race at the top.

49ers Hold the Top Spot After Beating Seattle

San Francisco went on the road and beat the Seahawks 32-29, collecting bragging rights over the defending Super Bowl champions. The defence intercepted Sam Darnold twice and sacked him five times. Brock Purdy connected with Mike Evans seven times for 113 yards and a touchdown.

With the No. 2 offence and No. 5 defence, plus 98.7% playoff odds, few teams match the 49ers’ balance in the NFL Week 6 power rankings.

Chiefs Stay Unbeaten but Slide to No. 5

Kansas City had its bye in Week 5 and kept its perfect 4-0 record. The Chiefs slipped from No. 3 to No. 5 only because rivals such as the Ravens and Vikings kept winning. They still own the fifth-ranked offence and 95.3% playoff odds. Next up is a matchup with the winless Chargers, a game they should be heavy favourites to win. Their fall is a notable detail in the NFL Week 6 power rankings, though it reflects results elsewhere rather than any slip of their own.

Vikings, Jaguars and Ravens Chase the Leaders

Minnesota is 5-0 and ranked third, powered by the league’s best defence. The Vikings beat the Saints 23-13 and held Tyler Shough to 96 passing yards.

Jacksonville stays at No. 2. Cam Little hits a 57-yard field goal as time expires to beat the Eagles 19-17.

Baltimore climbed from seventh to fourth with an overtime win over Atlanta, even with Tyler Huntley at quarterback. Buffalo rose to sixth after a 37-34 overtime win over the Rams, led by Josh Allen’s 121 rushing yards.

Patriots and Packers Make Big Jumps in the NFL Week 6 Power Rankings

New England made the biggest leap, rising ten spots to No. 9. Drake Maye threw for 374 yards and four touchdowns in a 45-17 rout of the Raiders.

Green Bay jumped from 22nd to 13th after a 31-7 win over the Bears, with Jordan Love throwing for 367 yards. Detroit also climbed six spots to 14th after scoring 45 against Arizona.

Others fell sharply. Chicago dropped from fifth to eighth, Las Vegas from 11th to 19th, and the Rams from 10th to 17th after their overtime loss in Buffalo.

Winless Teams Anchor the Bottom

Miami, Tennessee and Los Angeles are all 0-5. The Dolphins hold No. 32 and the Titans No. 31, with the Chargers at No. 29. Arizona sits at No. 30 after its fourth straight loss. Houston finally got its first win and moved up to 24th. The bottom of the NFL Week 6 power rankings shows how wide the gap is between contenders and rebuilders.
