Buffalo Bills: Final power rankings update of the 2018 regular season
The final Buffalo Bills game of the 2018 season is nearly upon us. We take a look at the final power rankings before the end of the regular season.
Christmas is wrapping up and that means NFL fans can get back to thinking about the final week of the regular season.
Buffalo Bills fans are recovering from a tough loss, but not one that was all that surprising.
As the end of the regular season is nearly upon us, we can take a look at where the Bills stand in some national power rankings.
We start with ESPN.com, where the Bills show up at No. 28 overall this week. That is down one spot from last week.
In an interesting note, the team is all the way up to No. 20 overall in the NFL.com power rankings. That is one spot higher than last week, even after a loss. That is higher than the Miami Dolphins, Carolina Panthers, Denver Broncos and Cincinnati Bengals. All of those teams currently have better records than the Bills.
The NFL.com power rankings have had a tendency to fluctuate a lot on a weekly basis, while the ESPN.com rankings stay rather steady. It takes a lot for a team to make a drastic move.
The Bills remain in the top 10 of the draft order, but have shown positives since Josh Allen got back into the starting lineup. I would put the Bills in the No. 20-22 range at this point in the year, so more like the rankings at NFL.com than ESPN.com.
