Week 6 NFL Power Rankings: Jaguars Win, Exit Last Place

Published

on

Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars won their first game of 2024, moving them out of last place in the NFL Power Rankings

The Jacksonville Jaguars occupied the bottom rung on the Week 5 NFL Power Rankings but managed to notch their first victory on Sunday. Their 37-34 win over the Indianapolis Colts got them out of the No. 32 spot in this week’s rankings. Now every NFL team has at least one win in 2024.



Two teams remain undefeated and atop the rankings. Both the Kansas City Chiefs and Minnesota Vikings won again to improve to 5-0. Both teams have a bye week in Week 6, so the top two spots in next week’s power rankings will remain unchanged.

Dallas, Chicago, and Miami were the biggest movers upward in this week’s rankings. Seattle, Tampa Bay, and several 2-3 teams fell the furthest.
