NFL Week 6 power rankings: Buffalo Bills move up slightly


After gutting out a 13-12 victory over the Tennessee Titans White Tremaine Edmunds Jerseys , the Buffalo Bills find themselves with a 2-3 overall record.

The Bills are almost universally ranked as the worst of the league’s two-win teams heading into Week 6.ESPN has the Bills at number 29 this week, which is up two spots from their rankings last week. The New York Giants (28), Indianapolis Colts (26), and Atlanta Falcons (19) all have one victory, yet the Worldwide Leader currently has them ranked ahead of the two-win Bills.

The biggest jump was on the list at The Sporting News, where Buffalo went from 29th to 25th. Vinnie Iyer wrote that “The Bills’ toughness and scrappiness are evident with Josh Allen matching the hard-nosed physicality of the defense.”While the Bills moved up three spots in the USA Today power rankings Color Rush Thomas Sweeney Jersey , jumping from 31st all the way to 28th, the report came with a depressing statistic. Reporter Nate Davis wondered how Josh Allen has managed to engineer two wins, as “no quarterback has been sacked more (19) and none has a worse passer rating (60.4).” The Associated Press did put Buffalo ahead of all the 1-4 teams, notching them at 26.
