    NFL Week 5 power rankings: Where Baltimore Ravens land after blowout win

    By Scott Davis,

    1 days ago

    The Baltimore Ravens rolled over the Buffalo Bills , 35-10, for their most dominant and complete win of the NFL season.

    The win gets the Ravens back to .500 and steadies the ship after an 0-2 start.

    As a result, the Ravens received a nice boost in The Sporting News NFL Week 5 Power Rankings .

    TSN's Vinnie Iyer has the Ravens at sixth, a two-spot jump from last week.

    Iyer writes :

    The Ravens are back to finding their dominant running game with Derrick Henry, Lamar Jackson, and Justice Hill. Their defense has also found its pressure and coverage 1-2 punch. They learned to finish off Buffalo after struggling with big leads the past two weeks.

    Iyer initially ranked the Ravens fifth heading into the season , so it's a vote of confidence that Baltimore has figured some things out.

    With another dominant performance from Derrick Henry (199 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown) and a strong defensive effort that saw players flying all over the field, the Ravens resembled the unit that finished No. 1 in the AFC last year.

    The Ravens take on the 1-3 Cincinnati Bengals in Week 5 in their first AFC North matchup of the season. That game should hold big stakes for an early season matchup, as it could put the Ravens over .500 or back under, or potentially crush the Bengals' playoff hopes.
