Brock Purdy | Getty Images No. 1 — Buffalo Bills (1st) SAMESomehow, the Buffalo Bills turned the football over five times and still WON THE GAME! Of course, it was against the Chargers, who are currently — and historically — allergic to winning, but James Cook’s 154 yards on the ground helped give Buffalo the 24-16 win, and they remain at the top of the standings here.No. 2 — San Francisco 49ers (5th) 📈 3 spotsBrock Purdy and the 49ers are one of the hottest teams in football. Purdy went for 297 yards and four touchdowns against an inferior Cardinals team, who pushed the 49ers in the 36-30 game. Still, through all the injuries, the 49ers remain a top team in the NFL.No. 3 — Kansas City Chiefs (7th) 📈 3 spotsThe Chiefs went into Miami and easily handled the Dolphins. Patrick Mahomes was efficient (20 of 24 for 246 yards with two touchdowns), and Rashee Rice finally got going with seven catches for 88 yards. Miami offered little resistance in the 24-10 win, and the Chiefs are one of the four undefeated teams that remain in the NFL.No. 4 — Seattle Seahawks (2nd) 📉 2 spotsSeattle goy Sam Darnold back from his hip injury, but Washington did an excellent job harrassing the Seahawks all game. Darnold finished with 379 passing yards and four touchdowns, but Marcus Mariota did enough to give the Commanders a 33-31 home victory.No. 5 — Los Angeles Rams (3rd) 📉 2 spotsThe Rams drop to 1-2 but remain in the top five. Massive credit to the Broncos, who appeared dead for much of the game but battled back with 30 second-half points. Matt Stafford finished with 390 yards passing and two touchdowns, but the Rams’ game plan shifted after a Terrance Ferguson injury, and they were without Puka Nukua, who they hope will return soon.No. 6 — Baltimore Ravens (7th) 📈 2 spotsTyler Loop! The Ravens and Dallas were headed to overtime after Dak Prescott led the Cowboys down the field on a last-minute drive to tie the game with a field goal. Unfortunately for Dallas, Lamar Jackson found Zay Flowers for 27 yards, which set up a 56-yarder from Loop for a big road victory over Jerry Jones’ Cowboys.No. 7 — Minnesota Vikings (11th) 📈 4 spotsThe Vikings have moved eight spots up in the rankings over the last two weeks. They’re undefeated, but sit seventh in the rankings; this is because of my discomfort with Kyler Murray, who missed Week 2 with a concussion. The Vikings’ defense, led by Brian Flores, is playing amazing football, and they beat up on the Buccaneers, 23-16. Still, the offense isn’t going to be bailed out by the strong defense every week; the team must become more complementary. No. 8 — Denver Broncos (14th) 📈 2 spotsThe Broncos defeated a very good Rams team at home with second-half resilience. The win was similar to their win over the Giants last year, where they scored 30 points in the fourth quarter; they did that in the second half, and the Broncos’ defense slowed down Matt Stafford when it mattered most.No.
