NFL.com: Buffalo Bills slip one spot, drop to fourth

Current Week’s Ranking: 4

Last Week’s Ranking: 3

Similar to ESPN’s power rankings, Dan Hanzus had the Buffalo Bills dropping one spot however they remained in the Top 5. In the power rankings on NFL.com, the Dallas Cowboys made the big jump from fifth to second.

"Buffalo’s defense returned to action in fine form, holding Miami to just 262 total yards. The offense took more time but eventually found its footing: The Bills scored 23 points on their final four possessions, turning a 3-3 nail-biter into the latest comfortable win over a division rival they’ve owned in recent years."

The Bills’ defense didn’t get the shut out this week against the Dolphins like they did back in Week 2 but it was still another impressive from this group. They were able to sack Tua Tagovailoa twice, forced two turnovers, and held the Dolphins to under 300 total yards.

While the Dolphins would not be confused with the Titans, this was a good performance from a group that struggled in the last game they played.
