Around the Web: Week 6 Power Rankings

Our weekly perusal around the Interwebz for water cooler fodder. (Number in parenthesis represents last week’s ranking).

ESPN: 23rd (21)
Kyle Orton’s passing can’t offset the Broncos’ lack of pass rush and run game.

FOX: 26th (14)
Believe it or not, QB Kyle Orton is on an MVP pace. It’s the defense which is preventing this team from becoming a consistent winner. Losing OLB Elvis Dumervil is proving to be very hard to overcome. And Denver’s most recent injuries on defense could prove to be even more problematic going forward.

CBS: 25th (22)
Kyle Orton continues to play well, but he’s not getting much help. The running game is non-existent. Can Tebow play running back? Didn’t think so.

Yahoo!/NFP: 23rd (19)
Josh McDaniels’ team looked soft in the road loss to Baltimore.

USA Today: 22nd (18)
It’s Orton and … Must find balance in running game.

Average rank: 23.80. Average change: down 5.00
