NFL power rankings Week 8: Ravens-Eagles rise, while 49ers, Bills and Lions fall

The Ravens are rising, and after finally finding their offensive identity, Baltimore looks like one of the elite teams in the AFC.

The Philadelphia Eagles moved to 6-1 and jumped back up the rankings after physically dismantling the Miami Dolphins on Sunday Night Football.

Kansas City took down the Chargers, while the Ravens made a statement to the entire NFL with their 38-6 beatdown of the surging but inexperienced Detroit Lions.

With preparation for the Arizona Cardinals set to begin, we’re looking at the Week 8 NFL Power Rankings.
