Jaguars Rise to No. 2 in Week 5 NFL Power Rankings as Seahawks Lead

Seattle remains the highest-rated team in the latest NFL power rankings, moving up to No. 1 after a 30–23 victory over the Chargers. The Seahawks will face the San Francisco 49ers this week.

Jacksonville jumps to No. 2 following a 22–17 win against the Bengals. The Jaguars are slated to play the Philadelphia Eagles in London.

Kansas City stays in the top five at No. 3 after a narrow 30–27 win over the Raiders, with a rematch against the Raiders scheduled.

Buffalo drops to No. 4 after a 29–26 loss to New England, and will travel to Los Angeles to face the Rams.

San Francisco holds the No. 5 spot after beating Denver 24–14; the 49ers travel to Seattle next.

Other notable moves include the Dallas Cowboys returning to the top twenty after a 34–30 comeback win over Houston, and the Los Angeles Rams holding No. 6 after defeating the Eagles 24–20.

"If we complain about crowd noise, we are assholes," said Buffalo Bills coordinator Jim Leonhard after the loss to New England.

The rankings also note injuries and roster changes affecting teams such as the Los Angeles Rams, whose running back Puka Nacua is expected to miss a few weeks, and the Denver Broncos, who have faced four of the league’s strongest opponents in their first four games.

Teams at the bottom of the list include the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tennessee Titans, Miami Dolphins and Los Angeles Chargers, all winless after four weeks.
