2021 Post-Week 8 NFL Power Rankings: Las Vegas Raiders enjoy the bye week
No. 9 through 6
. Previous: 11th. Buffalo Bills. 9. team. 16.
The Buffalo Bills took care of business against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday at home, as Josh Allen threw for nearly 250 yards and two scores in the victory. The win moved their record to 5-2 on the season as they bounced back from a tough loss to Tennessee their last time out, their only loss since the opener.
26. . . Previous: 5th. Baltimore Ravens. 8. team
The Baltimore Ravens were on their bye week this past weekend and will get back after it in Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings at home. The Ravens are once again one of the best teams in the NFL, Lamar Jackson is playing at an MVP level, and they are going to be a tough out come playoff time.
. . Previous: 2nd. Arizona Cardinals. 7. team. 32
In a monster Thursday Night Football matchup, the undefeated Arizona Cardinals played host to the Green Bay Packers in a potential NFC Championship Game preview. The Cardinals gave it all they had, but Aaron Rodgers was better on this night, and the loss of J.J. Watt for the season earlier in the week could prove to be huge down the stretch.
Tennessee Titans. 6. team. 35. . . Previous: 8th
The Tennessee Titans battled it out in an overtime AFC South matchup this past weekend and came away with some crucial turnovers late. The Titans are one of the best teams in the NFL this season and could end up being the final AFC teams standing, but the loss of Derrick Henry may be as big a loss as there is in the conference right now.
