NFL Power Rankings: Steelers climbing the ladder heading into Week 6

31. team. 30. . . . New York Jets
31. New York Jets
The New York Jets were able to come up with an overtime win against the Tennesse Titans two weeks ago, and they were at least within one score last week against the Falcons. However, their competition hasn’t exactly been the cream of the crop so far.
When they did face a good (yet banged-up) Denver Broncos team in Week 3, they lost 26-0. Zach Wilson has made a few miraculous throws this year, but he’s been arguably the worst starting quarterback in the league in 2021 because of his interceptions and poor decisions with the football.
In addition to being dead last on offense with just 13.4 points per game scored through the first five weeks, according to Team Rankings, the Jets are also allowing 24.2 points per game — a difference of 10.8 points per game.
The Jets have a winnable game against the underwhelming New England Patriots this week, but Bill Belichick is a mastermind when it comes to game-planning against rookie quarterbacks. I’m not sure if this is the game that is going to help elevate the Jets in the power rankings.
