These are the days we never thought would happen in the NFL. For the first time since (Never) For a long time, the Patriots found themselves in last place in the Power Ranking. Right now, New England is the worst team in the league.
For the rest, a lot of change at the top of the rankings with the Bills (+5) who impress and the Eagles (-4) which have continued to disappoint for three weeks.
As a reminder, this hierarchy is not only based on the number of successes, but also on current form. If two teams are close and haven't played each other recently, one wonders which one would win if the match were played today. Beating the strongest is not going to propel you to the top in the blink of an eye. Losing to one of the dunces won't plunge you into the abyss either. One can win and tumble, bow and climb. This is the merciless law of Power Ranking…
