Week 5 NFL Power Rankings

Philip Rivers

19. Miami Dolphins (Last week: 22)

Ryan Tannehill needed a big performance to salvage his job, and fortunately for him and his team, the Raiders were up next on the schedule. Tannehill was up for the challenge, and the Dolphins are back up to .500.

With the rest of the AFC East quite suspect, the Dolphins still have a shot if they can figure things out.

What to know: Tannehill was ready for the moment. He completed 17 of his first 19 passes (89.5 percent) in the first half Sunday, the highest completion of any one half in his three-year career.
