Amon-Ra St. Brown and the Detroit Lions take over the top spot in the NFL Power Rankings

Nothing has changed at the top from the Week 6 NFL Power Rankings. The Kansas City Chiefs and Minnesota Vikings, who occupy the top two spots at 5-0, had byes and their ranking remains unchanged.

Several teams are beginning to emerge as Super Bowl contenders as the 2024 season nears the midway point. Others need to start their preparation for the 2025 NFL Draft already.

In this week’s rankings, the Bengals, Eagles, and Bears were the biggest movers in a positive direction. The Cowboys, Broncos, and Commanders were among the teams that dropped the furthest from last week.
