Week 5 NFL Power Rankings

In week 4, we saw some tight matchups and we saw some top teams with very impressive wins. I have kept a spotlight on the NFC West this year, calling them the NFL's toughest division. This week was the first interdivision battles in the NFC West. The Cardinals made the biggest statement of the week by beating some peoples Super Bowl favorite Los Angeles Rams and now remain the only undefeated team on the year. Seattle avoided a 3 game losing streak to start the season by beating the banged up 49ers in Levi Stadium.

The AFC West is going to give the NFC West a run for its money as the NFL's toughest division. The Raiders and Broncos lost last week but still sit in a 3 way tie atop the division with the Chargers. Justin Herbert looked sharp Monday night against his division rival. He completed 25 of 38 passing attempts for 3 touchdowns. Patrick Mahomes reminded everyone he's still the best quarterback in the division. He completed 24 of 30 passing attempts for 5 touchdowns. These two young quarterbacks battling it out for years to come in the AFC West is going to be nothing short of spectacular.
