NFL power rankings Week 5: No. 1 spot changes hands for third consecutive week

The Niners have maintained a largely tremendous start to their season, which would have likely propelled them to the top position earlier. However, their ascent has been hindered by a recent rash of injuries. This shift highlights the ongoing instability at the peak of the rankings as teams deal with health setbacks during the current NFL season.
