Welcome back to the Power Rankings: Week 6 edition. We’re starting to get to the point where the top spots become a little bit less fun—Chiefs purists not only mandate that everyone shake Patrick Mahomes’s hand after the game and be grateful for the opportunity, but also that they be No. 1 or close to it each week when public discourse aligns with the fact that they’re just figuring it out and will still make the Super Bowl. But the upper tier still has some serious party crashing going on. Tampa Bay is currently weathering its attrition and still winning difficult games, while the Colts’ schedule doesn’t get wicked until much closer to Thanksgiving.
So, for now, they’re allowed to party crash and bother the stalwarts.
