Are the Bills Losing Their Grip on NFL Power Rankings? Two Straight Losses Tell the Story

Just two weeks ago, NFL power rankings experts were nearly unanimous in praising Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. But two straight losses have changed everything. The bye week couldn’t have come at a better time — Buffalo needs it badly.

In the 24–14 loss to Atlanta, the Bills’ defense crumbled. Falcons running back Bijan Robinson exploded for 170 yards and a touchdown, while wide receiver Blake London hauled in 10 catches for 158 yards and another score. Meanwhile, Josh Allen was under siege all night, pressured on nearly every dropback.

The power rankings reflect the fall:

• The Arizona Republic: Rank 6 (⬇ 3 spots)

Once the NFL’s last unbeaten team, the Bills now face the challenge of fixing a run defense ranked 30th before Week 6. The season is far from over, but the question looms: can Buffalo regain its identity as a true contender?
