Week 7 power rankings: Consensus says Saints are a bottom-five team
The latest NFL power rankings agree that the Saints are a bottom-five team, and their 1-5 record reflects that. But they've shown signs of life:
Tom Brady says "you can't argue" with his new No. 1, while the Bills and Eagles take deep drops in his power rankings.
The Minnesota Vikings were on a bye during Week 6 but that didn't stop them from losing ground in the Week 7 power rankings.
How big is the gap between Spencer Rattler and other second-year quarterbacks? The Week 7 QB power rankings put him at the bottom of the list:
The Thunder lead the way with seven players in the top 100, unsurprising after they rolled to last season's championship. Amen Thompson is the biggest riser in the rankings, up 66 spots to No. 35. Jrue Holiday, on the other hand, fell further than any other with a 47-spot slide to No. 79.
The Detroit Lions don't need to regroup after a double-digit loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Jared Goff's illegal motion penalty cost them four points, and Amon-Ra St. Brown's drop resulted in a turnover on downs and gave the Chiefs a short field on a touchdown drive.
