Buffalo Bills: Week 8 NFL Power Rankings (#24)

Last week: 24 (-4)

Record: 3-4

I thoroughly enjoyed last week’s Bills/Titans game between the two worst defenses in the league. Ryan Fitzpatrick and Matt Hasselbeck looked like franchise quarterbacks. Chris Johnson looked like it was 2009. I thought the Bills lost the game in the first half when they settled for a field goal instead of going for a field goal and then they eventually lost because Ryan Fitzpatrick decided to throw an interception when all they had to do was run the clock out with CJ Spiller and Fred Jackson, who the Titans couldn’t stop all game.
