The Philadelphia Eagles survived a scare against Arizona. Or, maybe more appropriately put, benefitted from a series of late-game Cardinals miscues. Philly remains unbeaten nonetheless, the only team without a loss through five weeks.

The Giants only have one, if you can believe that, with Saquon Barkley and Brian Daboll carrying this team on their shoulders during a surprise start to the season. The Bills are back and rolling behind Josh Allen, and the Cowboys refuse to lose thanks to an excellent defense.

The Falcons took a small tumble after losing a tough one in Tampa Bay, negatively impacted by a bad call on Grady Jarrett and a poor offensive start.

Let's take a look at how the NFL shakes out in our Week 6 NFL power rankings:

Las Vegas Raiders
Best 1-4 team in recent memory. Four one-score losses. That's tough.
(2-3)

Denver Broncos
Maybe don't let Russ cook? It's suddenly open season on a darn good QB.
(2-3)

Cardinals_Table
Arizona Cardinals

Jaguars_table
Jacksonville Jaguars
You play like that against Houston, you drop like a rock covered in weights.
(2-3)

Bears_table
Chicago Bears
Justin Fields wasn't half bad. The Bears are still far from good.
(1-3-1)
28

Lions_table
Detroit Lions
Where'd all that offense go?
(1-4)
