Packers in top 10 of NFL power rankings for Week 5
4. New England Patriots (2-2)
In a must-win game, the New England Patriots dominated the Dolphins to get back on track in the AFC East. Rookie running back Sony Michel had 25 carries for 112 yards and a touchdown, with James White adding 112 all-purpose yards with two touchdowns. The Patriots get Julian Edelman back from suspension this week. They host the Colts on Thursday night.
3. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-1)
The Jacksonville Jaguars made easy work of the Jets, but Leonard Fournette‘s injury is a concern. It’s unclear how long Fournette will miss with a hamstring injury that has already cost him two games this season. Next week, Jacksonville’s elite defense meets the red-hot Kansas City offense. That should be a lot of fun.
2. Kansas City Chiefs (4-0)
And here are the Kansas City Chiefs, who remain undefeated after their excellent comeback victory on Monday night. Patrick Mahomes has thrown for 1,200 yards, 14 touchdowns and no interceptions in four games. Monday night he proved he can put together a game-winning drive against a strong defense on the road. The Chiefs defense is an issue, but Mahomes makes them contenders.
1. Los Angeles Rams (4-0)
The Los Angeles Rams are so much fun to watch. Injuries in the secondary are the biggest concern for this team, but it might not matter when they can put up 38 points on Minnesota’s defense and make it look easy. They have so many playmakers on offense and will be difficult to stop this year. The Rams have to be the clear favorites in the NFC.
