Buffalo Bills: National media members harmonious in latest power rankings

Bleacher Report: The Buffalo Bills come in at no. 5 in this ranking, just behind the Cleveland Browns

In somewhat of a letdown by professional sports media, the Bills rank fifth in this series. The Browns, Chiefs, Packers, and Bucs all rank higher than Buffalo.

Josh Allen highlights the team’s ranking and the experts note the quarterback is largely discussed within league circles as the favorite to win the NFL MVP award. But the Bills deserve a little more respect than third-best team in the AFC.

"“There’s some sneaky MVP buzz around Josh Allen right now because I’ve informally polled some execs around the league about who they think is going to win the award. Allen’s name has come up a lot because this is a guy who’s in a great offense, a team in contention,” Fowler said. “I’m hearing Allen has been a lot better at mastering the nuances of the game, the pre-snap protections, all those things you need to win at the quarterback position.”"

Among most notable outlets, the Bills are in the Top 3 of power rankings. The club has all the attributes of a team that is capable of winning the Lombardi. And their position in many of these rankings thoroughly comprehends their potential.

These power rankings will be updated weekly. And weekly updates warrant recaps like these. After the Bills face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, Sept. 12, at 1:00 p.m., we’ll see just how much their stock improves or declines in power rankings throughout media circles.
