NFL Power Rankings, Week 5: Sanchez, Jets in free fall

The NFL Power Rankings here at SB Nation New York are seeing little movement at the top for the first time this season. The same can't be said for the rest of the teams, with big moves up and down.

While the New York Giants stumbled a little this week, it's the New York Jets that own the biggest fall.
