What happened: Bleacher Report published its Week 6 power rankings. Minnesota (5-0) sits No. 3 and Buffalo (4-1) sits No. 4, with New England (3-2) at No. 9 and Detroit (3-2) at No. 16. Philadelphia (2-3) is No. 20, Dallas (2-3) is No. 22 and Washington (1-3-1) is No. 27.

Why it matters: The top slots track Minnesota's unbeaten start and Buffalo's one-loss start through five weeks. The bottom-half placements leave Dallas, Philadelphia and Washington facing early ground to make up in the standings.

What to watch: Week 6 results will set movement for the next rankings update.
