Week six of the 2024 NFL season featured an exciting mix of action, with the 49ers earning a crucial NFC West win over the Seahawks on Thursday, followed by the Bears’ win against the Jaguars in London.
The Lions and Texans showed off their offensive prowess in Sunday’s games, while the Ravens earned a close win against the Commanders.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs and Vikings enjoyed their bye weeks and kept their 5-0 records intact.
In light of these matchups, former NFL player turned analyst Keyshawn Johnson unveiled his latest “Key’s Big List” of the top NFL teams on Fox Sports’ “Speak,” offering a new perspective on the league’s hierarchy.
Johnson’s list began at sixth place with the 3-3 San Francisco 49ers, highlighting his balanced attack with the second-best passing offense and third-best rushing offense.
The Houston Texans finished fifth due to C.J. Stroud’s growing confidence and strong defense.
“Fifth-ranked passing offense, 256 yards per game,” Johnson said. They get on this list for me because I’m seeing how they’re playing on the defensive side of the ball, and that young quarterback is starting to get things under his belt again.

The Minnesota Vikings finished fourth, benefiting from Brian Flores’ defensive scheme, which has limited opponents to over 100 rushing yards in just one game this season.
The Kansas City Chiefs remained steady in third place, with the upcoming clash against the 49ers potentially impacting their position.
The Detroit Lions finished an impressive 2nd place after their impressive win over Dallas.
Johnson praised his performance, saying, “We saw what he did last 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 in the ground game, especially under the leadership of Derrick Henry.
