It’s hard to believe the 2022 NFL regular season is through its first five weeks and October is nearly halfway over. The good thing is the picture of the good, bad and middling teams is becoming clearer.

The Philadelphia Eagles are still the top team in the NFL. The Eagles remained undefeated with a victory over the Arizona Cardinals. The team has a top-five offense and top-10 defense but has their first test in the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night.

One of the surprising stories of the season is the San Francisco 49ers. The team has one of the best defenses in the NFL, allowing only 61 points this season, while Jimmy Garoppolo is doing just enough to keep the team afloat. However, San Francisco took a serious hit, losing Emmanuel Moseley for the season while Nick Bosa and Jimmie Ward were also hit with the injury bug.

The defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams dropped out of the top 10 going into Week 6. The Rams’ defense can’t seem to stop anybody and the offense has looked stagnant. The team is minus-36 in point differential and is on a two-game losing streak after Sunday’s loss to the Cowboys.

The Cowboys jumped to fifth in the rankings this season thanks to their defense behind Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence. Parsons had three QB hits and a forced fumble against Los Angeles and Lawrence added two tackles and a fumble recovery.

Here’s how the rest of this week’s power rankings shake out.
