NFL Power Rankings: Buffalo Bills slip down boards after loss to Ravens

The Buffalo Bills crashed down to Earth in a 35-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, marking their first loss on the season. And while they are still one of the best teams in football, they have fallen out of the No. 1 slot in most power rankings.

ESPN: No. 3

"After the Bills survived with many backups through the first three weeks, their defensive shortcomings were exposed by Baltimore. The Ravens forced the Bills out of their preferred nickel package, and everything went downhill with three backup linebackers on the field. The Ravens rushed for 217 yards before contact, which was the most the Bills had allowed in a game since 2012. Buffalo could get a potential boost in the coming weeks with the return of linebacker Terrel Bernard (pectoral) and nickel corner Taron Johnson (forearm). But the Bills should expect other teams to force them out of their scheme, and they'll need to adjust accordingly."- Alaina Getzenberg

Pro Football Talk: No. 5

"How could a team lack “urgency” when facing a Ravens team that urgently needed a home win?"- Mike Florio

USA Today: No. 5

"Sunday night was hardly the way you want to start a stretch of five roadies in seven weeks – and further exposed what had already been a problematic run defense. But a team that still owns the AFC's best point differential (+39) despite a 25-point loss at Baltimore still looks very capable – and set up – to make near- and long-term runs."- Nate Davis
