AFC East power rankings roundup: Week 6

BY SEAN DONOVAN

The Jets' big road victory over road foe Atlanta has many starting to believe New York's 3-2 start is no fluke. The division's sole Week 5 winner made a 7-spot leap in the average rankings.

New England fell a notch after a putrid offensive showing in Cincinnati, while Buffalo and Miami sank a little after dropping games to AFC North competition.

Here's where the four AFC East teams stand in the major media outlets' NFL power rankings entering Week 6:

            NE   MIA     BUF    NYJ
ESPN       6(4) 13(7)  23(23) 18(22)
NFL.com    6(3) 13(8)  25(14) 15(24)
CBSSports  8(5) 13(10) 24(20) 17(25)
FoxSports  6(3) 15(10) 23(20) 18(21)
NBC (PFT)  6(4) 12(9)  24(18) 16(24)

PFF        6(4) 14(15) 25(22) 20(25)
