2020 NFL power rankings, Week 6: Steelers survive, Chiefs fall
Losers of three consecutive games and with all four of their outings in 2020 decided by seven points or less, the Bolts looked to get back on track against a Saints’ team that had shown some cracks on defense, most notably vs. the pass. That could be good news for rookie quarterback Justin Herbert, who has impressed since making his debut in Week 2. But Anthony Lynn’s team has been mistake prone with seven turnovers during its 1-3 start.
After playing on Thursday night in Week 4, the Broncos first saw their Sunday afternoon game at Foxborough rescheduled for Monday night and then postponed. Vic Fangio’s cub next contest will be in Week 6 at New England and it will be interesting to see if second-year signal-caller Drew Lock – injured in the team’s Week 2 loss at Pittsburgh – will be healthy enough to return. Denver quarterbacks have been sacked 13 times in four contests.
Off their first win of the season, the Bengals made the trip to Baltimore to take on a Ravens’ team that they had dropped three consecutive games to. And once again, Cincinnati was not up to the task and Zac Taylor’s offense was shackled to the tune of 205 total yards and zero touchdowns. All told, rookie signal-caller Joe Burrow had another rough day behind a shaky offensive line, sacked seven times while committing a pair of turnovers.
