Hello there, and welcome to the Week 6 Power Rankings.
There is a freedom and a lightness to the idea that no more undefeated teams remain. We can drop all the mythos and agree on the one abiding truth that gets us through this universe together: no one is immune to dropping a game against PJ Walker.
In all seriousness, it was refreshing to see the 49ers look human. It was refreshing to see Jalen Hurts’s humanity cost the Eagles. It was refreshing to see some clubs like the Brows and the Jets log what we’d consider signature wins of this particular era. While we have seen a pronounced excellence through the first few weeks of the season, we sometimes need to be reminded that bad weather happens. Tweaked hamstrings happen. Waking up on the wrong side of the bed happens. Headaches, dehydration, anxiousness, whatever can lead a person or collective group to underperform for three hours, one day a week…that stuff happens. And it happened this week.
