Who’s atop Rich Eisen’s Week 8 NFL Power Rankings after the 49ers’ & Chiefs’ Losses?

Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

1:05Denver opens the list in tenth, followed by Cincinnati and Jacksonville.
4:24Kansas City drops four places to sixth after its loss.
4:53Unbeaten Minnesota sits fifth because Eisen wants more downfield passing from its offense.
5:58Chicago takes fourth and Seattle rises to third.
7:38San Francisco slips to second, leaving Buffalo at the top.
8:42The full board prompts debate about Minnesota's record and omissions including Detroit.

TJ Jefferson has a straightforward objection to Rich Eisen's NFL power rankings: an undefeated team ought to have a stronger claim to the top spot. Eisen puts Minnesota fifth anyway. His concern is the Vikings' offense, where he wants to see more downfield passing.

Buffalo gets the place everyone is arguing about. With San Francisco and Kansas City coming off losses, Eisen crowns the Bills, keeps the 49ers just behind them and lifts Seattle into the next spot. The Chiefs fall below Chicago, another sign of how much he likes the Bears' case.

The segment drew nearly 90,000 views in its opening eight hours, running well ahead of the show's usual start. Its comment section was even more conspicuous: more than 400 comments had arrived, compared with about ten on a typical full first day.

And not all the objections come from supporters of teams farther down the list. Several Bills supporters question Buffalo's defensive strength and secondary, arguing that their own team does not yet deserve Eisen's endorsement. Others ask why Minnesota's defense carries less weight than Buffalo's offense. That is the real dividing line here: how much should an unbeaten record count when the host sees limitations underneath it?

The rankings arrive alongside two other fast-starting NFL segments: Eisen's discussion of which teams should become trade-deadline sellers, and Ian Rapoport's assessment of whether Indianapolis could move Jonathan Taylor.

Back on the rankings board, Denver's low placement and Detroit's omission give viewers more to debate. Even a Bears supporter pushes back on the compliment, saying Chicago has not earned a place above Minnesota.

What viewers say

I'm a Bills fan and I believe they belong in the top 10 easy, but even I struggle to put them at number one with how bad their defense is so far this year.

As a Bears fan they shouldn't be higher than Vikings. I appreciate it Rich but we haven't earned that yet.

Considering the Broncos beat both the Seahawks and Jaguars, and kept the 49ers game winnable to within the last 3 minutes of the game, they should be higher. Regardless of their offensive play, their defense and special teams is insane. That last goal line stop on Sunday was a work of art.

I'm shocked Rich didn't put the Rams on the list

Power Rankings didn't used to include a "One More" but Rich will make an exception for the Rams.
