CBS Sports: Buffalo Bills jump three spots and move back into the Top 3

Current Week’s Ranking: 3

Last Week’s Ranking: 6

Pete Prisco last week had ranked the Buffalo Bills the lowest among the four power rankings but that changed this week with the Bills moving back to third. The Bills jumped ahead of the Cardinals, Bucs, and Cowboys this week.

"They didn’t look great against the Dolphins, but found a way to rally in the second half. The offense looked lethargic at times, which can’t happen against good teams."

This seems to be the biggest takeaway from the Buffalo Bills game in Week 8 in that they won but it wasn’t an impressive performance. Whether the reason was rusty coming out of the bye, they weren’t past a heart-breaking loss in Tennessee, or the Bills overlooked the Dolphins, they just didn’t play well in the first half.

However, it is commendable that the Buffalo Bills as a team seemed to course-correct and found a way to play much better football in the second half.
