NFL Week 9 Power Rankings: Two-loss teams make a statement as Bills, Broncos, Lions rise

Multiple outlets' updated 1-32 rankings track Minnesota's lone unbeaten run, a reshaping trade deadline, and surging two-loss contenders.

What to know

  • The Minnesota Vikings entered the stretch as the NFL's last unbeaten team while the Los Angeles Chargers were the league's only winless team.
  • Trade-deadline moves reshaped several rosters, including the Titans trading Jeffrey Simmons and the Colts dealing Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner amid rebuilds.
  • Week 9 rankings from ESPN, NY Post, NYT and others spotlight a cluster of two-loss teams and risers such as the Bills, Broncos and Lions, with the Ravens falling.
  • Coverage is routine weekly power-rankings content published in parallel by multiple major sports outlets rather than a single breaking event.
