When we last left our godawful gunslingers, all seemed right in the world. Donovan McNabb was a struggling to keep his QB Rating in the positives while Ben Roethlieberger was routinely connecting with safety Ed Reed for big plays downfield. Mark Sanchez even managed to not embarrass himself.
Funny how things can change.
Over the last few weeks we've witnessed Tom Brady collapse under the pressure of mighty Buffalo, we've seen Cam Newton set a pace to break every rookie passing record in the history of the NFL, and hell, we've even watched Tavaris Jackson blossom into just a pretty bad quarterback. A gimpy Ben Roethlisberger also just threw for 5 touchdowns against the Tennessee Titans on a weekend where Kevin Kolb pissed his pants. It's been an interesting first trimester to say the least.
Yes, as one would expect, an interesting first trimester has produced some interesting results. With Week 6 looming on the horizon, let's take a quick peek at the Power Rankings:
