The latest 2018 NFL Power Rankings sees the Packers and Patriots stumble while the Rams and Chiefs remained perfect and fearsome.

Another weekend of NFL football is in the books, and we may have had one of the most unpredictable weekends of the 2018 season. Naturally, that will affect our 2018 NFL Power Rankings as we saw many teams who were expected to come away with wins drop heartbreakers.

The Green Bay Packers were one such team as they were surprised by the efficient offense of the Washington Redskins. Alex Smith and Adrian Peterson combined for a great outing that upset the Packers — who fell to 1-1-1. It was a tough loss, but at this point, they’re a few bounces from being 0-3.

An even bigger shock came when Buffalo went to Minnesota and stuck it to the Vikings, The Bills got their first win in a big way as rookie Josh Allen had a great game and Buffalo led from start to finish against the heavily favored Vikings.

Allen wasn’t the only rookie to turn heads though. On Thursday Night, the Cleveland Browns got their first win in 635 days as Baker Mayfield stepped in for an injured Tyrod Taylor and stole the show — as well as the starting job. He showed that he didn’t need a season behind a veteran to be ready to play in the NFL.

We had one last upset on Sunday Night Football as Matt Patricia scored his first ever win against his old team, the New England Patriots.

All those moves and more — including the Chiefs and Rams continuing to impress — shook things up for our 2018 NFL Power Rankings.
