NFL Power Rankings, Week 9: Steelers alone in perfection, Cowboys find new low
By Randy Gurzi
New NFL Power Rankings as the Steelers stay perfect and the Browns fall flat
Another slate of NFL games is in the books as we had our first round of November football games in the 2020 season. And those games included some interesting weather contests, which is often the case once the winter months roll around.
The worst game in terms of weather came in Cleveland, Ohio where the Cleveland Browns hosted the Las Vegas Raiders at FirstEnergy Stadium. The wind was a major issue in itself as there were winds of more than 30 miles per hour, but then the rain and even some hail came in and affected the game. Cleveland should have had an advantage in these conditions but they were beaten down by the team from Vegas who dominated on the ground.
Some other games couldn’t be blamed on the weather as the Baltimore Ravens were simply off-target at times on Sunday as they were unable to hold off the Pittsburgh Steelers. The only undefeated team left in the NFL, Pittsburgh went into Baltimore and found a way to get the win and move to 7-0 on the season.
Another interesting game was the Tennessee Titans playing the Cincinnati Bengals. The Titans were also an unbeaten team not too long ago, but they were knocked down a peg by the Steelers in Week 7. Then in Week 8, they were shocked as the Cincinnati Bengals found a way to score a win against them, in one of the bigger shocks of the weekend.
These games, and all the others that weren’t mentioned, had a major impact on our 2020 NFL Power Rankings, which we jump right into now with the No. 32 team.
