Rich Eisen puts Bears first, but Chiefs placement draws questions

Denver's win over Kansas City doesn't put it ahead on Eisen's list, and viewers are asking why.

There’s a New #1 and Some AFC West Controversy in Rich Eisen’s NFL Power Rankings for Week 9

Beating Kansas City wasn't enough to get Denver above the Chiefs in Rich Eisen's Week 9 power rankings. Eisen places the Broncos one spot below the team they just defeated, giving his comment section a question to chew over: how much should the result itself count?

The segment drew roughly 80,000 views in seven hours, a much faster start than a typical regular upload on The Rich Eisen Show. Its comments had already grown to many times the channel's usual full-day total.

Viewers keep returning to Denver's head-to-head results, pointing out that Jacksonville also sits above the Broncos. Others question whether Kansas City's near-misses are getting more weight than Denver's wins. A separate thread makes the case for Minnesota, which drops out of the list altogether.

At the top, Eisen goes further than his earlier discussion of Chicago as a Super Bowl contender: the Bears are now his first choice. He praises their defense, running game and offensive line, moving them above Buffalo even though the Bills won. San Francisco also slips a place during its bye week.

There is room for a smaller breakthrough, too. Pittsburgh makes its first appearance on Eisen's list this season, with its defense helping earn a place between Detroit and Cincinnati.

The rankings are a sponsored segment. Alongside Chris Brockman and T.J. Jefferson, Eisen offers a reminder that his list isn't simply a sorting of win-loss records. For the Denver viewers asking about Kansas City, that distinction is precisely the argument.
