Week 5 NFL Power Rankings

Philip Rivers

18. Dallas Cowboys (Last week: 23)

This is the best offensive line in football paving holes for DeMarco Murray, who leads the league in rushing. Tony Romo has improved drastically since Week 1, and the defense is even beginning to show some signs of life.

Early on, the Cowboys are making a believer out of me. However, they’ve picked on the Titans, Rams, and disappointing Saints the past few weeks. Houston and Seattle are on the horizon.

What to know: Murray is the first NFL player with 100 yards rushing and a touchdown through the first four weeks of the season since Emmitt Smith did it back in 1995, according to Elias Sports.
