Coach opens Tuesday's Afternoon Drive with his Week 6 power rankings: the unbeaten 49ers at No. 1 after a 32-29 win in Seattle, the 4-0 Chiefs off their bye, the 5-0 Vikings, the Bills and the Patriots, with the Bengals, Lions, Dolphins and Vikings on bye this week (NFL.com). Then breaking news: the Rams released kicker Harrison Mevis after he went 0-for-2 in Monday night's 37-34 overtime loss to Buffalo, including a 48-yarder that was blocked in OT (CBS Sports).
Then it's every Week 6 game in two minutes or less. Coach sizes up Seahawks-Broncos on Thursday night, Texans-Jaguars in London after Houston's trade for Marvin Harrison Jr., and Ravens-Browns. He says Nick Sirianni has become polarizing after the last-second loss to Jacksonville (NBC Sports Philadelphia), and he isn't buying Ben Johnson's "no determination has been made" on the Bears' quarterback (Yahoo Sports). He also covers John Harbaugh on the Giants' tie, Jets-Patriots, Steelers-Bucs, and Cam Ward being asked whether he's "used to losing" (Yahoo Sports).
After the BlueChew break, Coach questions Sean McVay's conservative overtime call, says Josh Allen needs a ring to be truly elite, and says the 0-5 Chargers could be 0-9 before they see the Jets. He also plays Jerry Jones' Green Bay story from his Dallas radio spot (OutKick) ahead of Cowboys-Packers on Sunday night. He closes on Monday night's Commanders-49ers, calling Washington's final-seconds clock management in the tie with the Giants a fireable offense for Dan Quinn (PFT). Takes are Coach's own; picks are opinion and lines move.
