There are some big movers and shakers in the week 5 edition of the 2009 NFL power rankings.

We’ve outlined the top ten NFL teams as we head into week 5 and these power rankings show you who the real contenders are after 4 weeks.  We’re putting up the NFL power rankings after every week this season so be sure to bookmark us and check back next week.

NFL power rankings for week 5:

1.       New Orleans Saints (4-0) – The Saints easily defeated the previously undefeated New York Jets and sit on top of our week 5 NFL power rankings with a perfect record.

2.       Indianapolis Colts (4-0) – Indianapolis is perfect as well but their victories have not been nearly as impressive as what the Saints have done.

3.       New York Giants (4-0)  - The Giants have played great but it’s still too early to know how Eli Manning’s ankle injury will affect the team.

4.       New England Patriots (3-1) – New England looked good in their victory over the previously undefeated Ravens and it appears that their offense is back.

5.       New York Jets (3-1) – The Jets fall quite a bit in the week 5 NFL power rankings after looking poorly against the Saints.

6.       Minnesota Vikings (3-0) - Minnesota still has their Monday night game against the Packers to worry about but this team is for real.

7.       San Francisco 49ers (3-1) – The 49ers’ only loss was the last second touchdown pass in week 3 and San Francisco won 35-0 last time out.

8.       Baltimore Ravens (3-1) - Baltimore looks like a main contender this season but they fall down the week 5 NFL power rankings after their loss to the Patriots.

9.       Denver Broncos (4-0) – Denver is undefeated and many will argue that they deserve a higher spot in the power rankings.  I’m still not sold.

10.   Chicago Bears (3-1) – Chicago started off shaky but that offense is finally going and they debut on the power rankings at #10.
