Packers continue climb up USA TODAY NFL power rankings

The Packers are almost back into the top five of USA TODAY’s NFL power rankings after winning the last five games.

The Green Bay Packers keep climbing up the USA TODAY NFL power rankings.

For the fourth consecutive week, the Packers moved up in the rankings, going from No. 9 last week to No. 6 entering Week 7.

The Packers took down the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on Sunday and are now 5-1 after starting the season with a disappointing loss. Matt LaFleur’s team had fallen all the way to No. 16 after starting the season at No. 4, but the climb back into the top five is almost complete.

The Packers play the Washington Football Team this week. Washington sits at No. 25 in the rankings after losing three of the last four games.

The Bears’ loss to the Packers dropped Matt Nagy’s team two spots to No. 16.

The unbeaten Arizona Cardinals, who host the Packers in Week 8 on Thursday night, remain the No. 1 team in the rankings. The top four teams and five of the top six are from the NFC.
