NFL power rankings - Week 5
By RYAN STETSON - Associate Editor
You want to talk about parity in the NFL this season? There are a full 10 teams with even 2-2 records and no club really distancing itself from the rest of the pack. Dallas barely holds on to the top spot this week, but there are as many as four or five clubs that could be ready to make a move.

Let's not get carried away with T.O. drama already. Tough loss, though they might be better for it down the road.

This defense so good that I find myself forgetting Kerry Collins is their quarterback. Now that's an accomplishment

Can't stand people dumping on the Bills because of the soft early schedule. They're taking care of their own business.

Come on, Plaxico.

-5.00 Tampa Bay
Another game like last week and Brian Griese might have a tough time getting out of Gruden's doghouse.
the rest...
I'm not sure I agree with us being that high just yet but damn if he didn't hit the nail on the head about his comments on the parity in the league and the Bills.
