Packers Stay Near Top 10 in Week 5 Rankings as Volatility Raises Alarms

Power-rankings roundups place Green Bay around seventh entering a bye after consecutive blown leads.

Overview

  • Green Bay hits the Week 5 bye at 2-1-1 and trails Detroit in the NFC North after a 40-40 tie in Dallas.
  • An aggregated roundup pegs the Packers near seventh overall, with outlets slotting them from No. 4 to No. 11.
  • Analysts fault late-game decision-making after back-to-back fourth-quarter leads evaporated and overtime clock mismanagement drew scrutiny.
  • Offensive-line instability persists with injuries to Aaron Banks (groin) and Zach Tom (oblique) and frequent flags, including a league-high in false starts and near-leading holding totals.
  • Rookie wideout Matthew Golden posted career highs of five catches for 58 yards in Dallas, Savion Williams added three receptions, and tackle Anthony Belton sat out with an ankle injury.
