NFL Power Rankings, Week 6: Are the Dallas Cowboys a top ten team?
Week 5 of the 2024 NFL season is in the books, and it was a good week for the Dallas Cowboys. There was a lot of movement in the NFL Power Rankings this week, and the Cowboys were one of those teams on the move.
Here is the NFL Power Rankings ahead of Week 6:
Not even Andy Dalton could save the Carolina Panthers from a 36-10 blowout defeat by the Chicago Bears. The Panthers have once again landed as the worst team in the NFL.
The New England Patriots are in a bad place in their current rebuild. Sunday’s loss was the worst of the week, and this team shows no signs of improving.

There will be no winless teams in the NFL this season, so it is time for Jacksonville Jaguars fans to celebrate. The Jaguars’ win was also celebrated by anyone who had the over in the 37-34 final score.
The Tennessee Titans had a bye week, but that didn’t stop the team from landing in the bottom five of the power rankings. Maybe things will look different after Week 6.
If you look up the definition of dumpster fire in the dictionary, chances are you will see the logo of the Cleveland Browns.
Things are a mess in Cleveland, and there are no signs of them getting better.
The New York Giants showed no sign of a hangover after their loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Actually, the team showed signs of new life with a Week 5 victory on the road in Seattle.
The Las Vegas Raiders have no stability at quarterback, and it shows. The Raiders were blown out by the Denver Broncos on Sunday, and the team’s season looks to be all but over.
The Los Angeles Rams are ravaged by injuries once again this season. But how many years in a row can that excuse be used before someone hits the panic button within the franchise?
The Cincinnati Bengals allowed another victory to slip from their fingertips, putting the franchise’s 2024 postseason hopes on life support.
The Miami Dolphins got the Week 5 victory over the New England Patriots. However, this team is a trainwreck with the absence of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
The Denver Broncos were not going to lose wearing the throwbacks. The Broncos dismantled the Raiders, as the franchise becomes one of the surprise teams in the NFL.
The New York Jets were banking on a 40-year-old quarterback coming back from an Achilles injury to lead them to the promised land. However, the season is going exactly like you would think it would go, with a 40-year-old quarterback coming back from an Achilles injury.
Even with an outstanding performance from Joe Flacco, the Indianapolis Colts couldn’t make the comeback on the Jaguars. The Colts are another team that seems to be stuck in purgatory.
Was the Chicago Bears’ stellar Week 5 performance a facade due to the team playing the Panthers? I guess only time will tell, but for now, the Bears’ stock is going up.
The Arizona Cardinals put on an offensive clinic in their win over the San Francisco 49ers. The game was just another reminder of how deadly the Cardinals can be on any given week.
The New Orleans Saints had the unfortunate duty of playing the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night. Saints fans had a bad night, but at least they looked good doing it.
The Los Angeles Chargers were on a bye week for Week 5, or, as head coach Jim Harbaugh called it, an opportunity to get better.
The Philadelphia Eagles were one of four teams on a bye week during Week 5. The Eagles are back in action this week, taking on the train wreck that is the Browns.
The Pittsburgh Steelers were one defensive stop away from a completely different ranking this week. However, the Steelers seem to be one Russell Wilson resurrection away from being title contenders.
Are things starting to fall apart for the San Francisco 49ers? It appears the reigning NFC Champions have a lot of ground to make up if they have hopes for another Super Bowl appearance.
The Seattle Seahawks dropped their second straight game when they fell to the New York Giants on Sunday. The NFC West is shaping up to be a very exciting division.
The Atlanta Falcons have become one of the hottest teams in the league. Their win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5 may have put the rest of the NFC on notice, as the Falcons look like a legit contender.
The Dallas Cowboys are putting together a string of great performances. On Sunday night, the team came into the game banged up on the defensive side but only allowed the Steelers to score 17 points.
The Green Bay Packers’ victory on Sunday made it official: everyone in the NFC North has a winning record heading into Week 6. The black and blue division may be the toughest in the entire NFL.
Coaching malpractice cost the Buffalo Bills their second loss in as many weeks. A Week 6 showdown with the Jets will dictate the path the Bills take for the rest of 2024.
It was a heartbreaking loss for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last Thursday night. However, the Buccaneers continue to prove they have all the pieces to be a playoff team once again this season.
The biggest surprise of the NFL season has been the hot start by the Washington Commanders. The biggest reason for that hot start, is rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. The Commanders will be no easy victory this season for the Cowboys.
The Baltimore Ravens’ 0-2 start is now a distant memory, as the team has won their last three. The Ravens look to be on a mission this season. Unfortunately, one really good team will stand in their way.
New threads, same high-powered offense. The Houston Texans are 4-1 on the young season and look to be the team everyone expected that would take the next step.
The Cowboys’ Week 6 opponent had a bye week in Week 5. However, the Detroit Lions have looked impressive up to this point in the season. Sunday should be fireworks for both fanbases.
The Minnesota Vikings are one of two undefeated teams left in the NFL, which is something nobody saw coming. If quarterback Sam Darnold can continue his current play, who says the Vikings can’t make noise in the postseason?
It has almost become boring to watch a Kansas City Chiefs game. We know what the outcome will be, and yet, everyone believes it could be different. The Chiefs are a dynasty that is showing no signs of slowing down.

Preston Hollow residents oppose proposed $800 million mixed-use development in Dallas, survey reveals
It’s called a blue card survey. But some residents in the Preston Hollow neighborhood of Dallas believe it could be their ace in the hole and their fight against the proposed development.
The 2019 tornado left a trail of destruction in North Dallas, including Victor Toledo’s home. He said been able to rebuild along with others in his neighborhood.
But he says one area is still an eyesore.
“It’s become a very desirable neighborhood, other than that one corner, that one corner is still stuck six years ago with the old office buildings,” said Toledo.
That “one corner” he’s referring to is the southwest side of Preston Road in Royal Lane.
It’s where developers want to build an $800 million 19-story resort hotel, apartment building, and mixed-use development.
There are signs all around Preston Hollow opposing the project.
A recently completed survey of residences within 500 yards of it reveals just how strong the opposition is.
City of Dallas survey:
- 258 opposed
- 7 in favor
- 18 no response
Margaret Chabris hopes the city’s planning and zoning commission, which meets again on Aug. 6, will take the results of the survey seriously.
“It does have an impact because this is what the city wanted to know, and this is the chance that residents and property owners right here can voice their opinion; it should have a considerable impact.”
But some residents, like Toledo, believe the benefits of the development outweigh concerns about traffic and construction.
“It’ll be great for the neighborhood to have that kind of amenity,” Toledo said. “To have hotel options, new restaurants. Now it’s a vacant old building that wasn’t being used much.”
Klyde Warren Park, a top attraction in Dallas for more than a decade, is growing. Park and city leaders revealed details about the project on Monday morning, which will expand the park to 7.1 acres.
The park, which opened in 2012, connects Uptown Dallas with the Arts District over a recessed portion of Woodall Rodgers Freeway. The construction will span west to cover the remaining portion of the freeway, totaling 1.7 acres of new park space, according to the plans released Monday.
It will feature the Jacobs Lawn, a 37,000-square-foot green space that can be used for all types of community gatherings, performances and markets. In the winter, the lawn will feature an ice rink. Next to the lawn, the Overlook will give visitors a view of the highway traffic below them.
The expansion will also include a two-story pavilion with 24,000 square feet of climate-controlled event space, plus a rooftop terrace.
“This expansion isn’t simply about adding acreage. It’s an investment in Dallas, an investment in the community and an investment in future generations,” Klyde Warren Park chairman Jody Grant said in a statement.
“The expansion of this Park is exactly the kind of transformative investment we must continue to make throughout Dallas’s urban core. It will add new green space for residents to enjoy while driving continued economic growth, connecting our communities, and enhancing the quality of life that makes Dallas a destination for families, businesses, and visitors from around the world,” Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson said in a statement.
Construction firm Archer Western won a competitive bid to work on the project, the same firm that built the first phase of the park.
Construction will begin by the end of the year, and is expected to take two years to complete.
FRISCO, Texas — After 12 seasons in the NFL and the last eight with the Dallas Cowboys, defensive back CJ Goodwin has announced his retirement.
Goodwin, 36, has played in 108 games for the Cowboys since he joined the team in 2018. He was the second longest-tenured Cowboy on the roster behind only Dak Prescott, who preceded Goodwin by two seasons.
Since 2019, Goodwin has been one of Dallas’ key players on special teams, recording 69 tackles with the Cowboys [ninth in Cowboys history] and 87 in his NFL career. In 2021, Goodwin became the first player in franchise history to lead the team in special teams tackles for three consecutive seasons.
After going undrafted in 2014, Goodwin received a tryout with the Pittsburgh Steelers after Steelers Hall of Fame cornerback Mel Blount, whose son attended high school with Goodwin and who Goodwin had worked for as a farm hand, urged the team to give him an opportunity. Pittsburgh would sign him as an undrafted free agent afterwards.
Following time with the Steelers, Falcons, Cardinals, Giants, 49ers and Bengals, the Cowboys signed Goodwin off of Cincinnati’s practice squad in October of 2018.
In his eight seasons with Dallas, Goodwin notched 2,211 snaps on special teams. He worked primarily as a gunner on punt coverage and was one of Dallas’ most impactful defenders on kickoff coverage during his career with the team.
Goodwin was named one of the Cowboys’ six captains in 2025, and the second captain on special teams alongside Brandon Aubrey. He finished the year with 18 special teams tackles.
In 2026, the Cowboys will now have to look to fill Goodwin’s shoes on special teams. Some of their offseason signings, like safety P.J. Locke, have a strong history as defenders on special teams and could end up being crucial for special teams coordinator Nick Sorensen in his second season in Dallas.
