Week 9 of the NFL is in the books and another slice of the picture has been revealed. The NFL season is a small sample size in nature, but the midpoint of the 2023 has arrived and the pecking order is clearly being established. There’s a handful of teams who have only suffered one or two losses. Then there are the teams who’ve suffered three defeats and they are divided into two groups.
The first group is composed of teams which look like they could be championship contenders but have lost games they shouldn’t have. The ither group is composed of teams whose records seem to be above their level.
Sunday’s games brought a couple of huge matchups in each conference. The early contest saw the Kansas City Chiefs outlast the Miami Dolphins in Germany. The national game saw the Eagles fend off the Dallas Cowboys’ late charge in Philadelphia. The two teams will both get a bye week before squaring off in a Super Bowl rematch. With three of the top teams in the league on a bye (San Francisco, Jacksonville and Detroit), here’s a look at the latest power rankings after all of the action.
