The Buffalo Bills received mixed reviews in this week’s power rankings after their 26-11 win over the Miami Dolphins

The Buffalo Bills achieved what they needed to against the Miami Dolphins, which was a win. It wasn’t pretty, particularly in the first half, but they played much better in the second half and came away with a 26-11 win.

In the NFL, a win is a win and there isn’t much in terms of style points (or how a team wins). However, that carries much more weight when it comes to power rankings. That was evident this week across the four power rankings we have tracked this season.

In two of the power rankings, the Buffalo Bills moved up multiple spots but in the other two, the Bills actually dropped despite the win. This is where the Bills landed in the power rankings on ESPN, CBS Sports, NFL.com, and Bleacher Report ahead of Week 9.
