The 2024 NFL season’s Week 6 delivered a thrilling mix of action, kicking off with the 49ers securing a crucial NFC West win over the Seahawks on Thursday, followed by the Bears’ victory against the Jaguars in London.
Sunday’s games showcased offensive prowess from the Lions and Texans, while the Ravens eked out a close win against the Commanders.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs and Vikings enjoyed their bye week, maintaining their perfect 5-0 records.
In the wake of these matchups, former NFL player turned analyst Keyshawn Johnson unveiled his latest “Key’s Big List” of top NFL teams on Fox Sports’ “SPEAK,” offering a fresh perspective on the league’s hierarchy.
Johnson’s list began with the 3-3 San Francisco 49ers at sixth, highlighting their balanced attack with the second-best passing offense and third-best rushing offense.
The Houston Texans claimed the fifth spot, propelled by CJ Stroud’s growing confidence and a stout defense.
Johnson noted, “The fifth-ranked passing offense, 256 yards per game. They joined this list for me because I’m watching how they’re playing lights out on the defensive side of the ball, and that young quarterback is starting to get things underneath him again.”

The Minnesota Vikings secured fourth place, benefiting from Brian Flores’ defensive scheme that has limited opponents to over 100 rushing yards in just one game this season.
The Kansas City Chiefs held steady at third, with an upcoming clash against the 49ers potentially affecting their standing.
The Detroit Lions impressively claimed second place after their dominant victory over Dallas.
Johnson praised their performance, stating, “We watched what they just did this past week in Dallas. 47 to nine, 184 yards on the ground.”
Topping the list, the Baltimore Ravens emerged as Johnson’s best team in the NFL, overcoming early doubts and showcasing their strength, particularly in the ground game led by Derrick Henry.
