2020 NFL power rankings, Week 6: Steelers survive, Chiefs fall
. 1-4. Previous: . Minnesota Vikings. 21. team. 60
For the third consecutive year, the Vikings headed to Seattle for a prime time clash with the Seahawks. Mike Zimmer’s club owned a 13-0 lead at intermission and had more than tripled their hosts in total yardage (217-66). Up by five points and with a chance to extend the lead to eight, Zimmer passed on the chip shot field goal. And then the Minnesota defense allowed Russell Wilson to match 94 yards in 1:42 for the game-winning touchdown.
54. . 1-3-1. Previous: . Philadelphia Eagles. 20. team
The Birds were coming off their first victory of the season and headed to the Steel City looking to cool off the unbeaten Steelers. Philadelphia got 74 of its 94 rushing yards on a Miles Sanders’ TD run in the first quarter and Carson Wentz wound up with 258 yards through the air and a pair of scores. But he threw two more interceptions and was sacked five times. And the Eagles’ defense had no answers for Steelers’ rookie wideout Chase Claypool.
123. . 2-3. Previous: . Dallas Cowboys. 19. team
The Cowboys have had the Giants’ number as of late, defeating this NFC East rival six straight times heading into Sunday. And somehow, Mike McCarthy’s club did just enough to rally from a 17-3 second-quarter deficit and got the victory when Greg Zuerlein nailed a 34-yard field goal on the game’s final play. But Dallas lost Dak Prescott, who went down in the third quarter and quickly had surgery (via ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen).
