2021 NFL Power Rankings, Week 7: Ravens win big, Cowboys steal one in OT

Plays on Monday Night Football vs. Tennessee Titans
Heading into this weekend, the Buffalo Bills have established themselves as one of the best teams in the NFL. They had a surprising loss in Week 1 but since then, they’ve been on a roll and now look for win No. 5 in a row against the Titans.
Their previous game was against the Kansas City Chiefs and the Bills made a statement as they won 38-20. They’ve also scored two shutout wins, knocking off Miami 35-0 in Week 2 and the Texans 40-0 in their Week 4 meeting. As its stands now, they’re the favorites in the AFC and it’s hard to envision anyone knocking them down a peg anytime soon.
This one was a statement game. After the Arizona Cardinals won last week despite not playing at their best, they entered Week 6 as underdogs on the road. They also had to play without Kliff Kingsbury as the head coach was out due to a positive COVID-19 test.
They didn’t allow any of that to become an excuse and simply went out and beat the Cleveland Browns in convincing fashion. Arizona won running away with it, 37-14.
Now, they not only stand atop our 2021 NFL Power Rankings, but they continue to be the only team in the NFL without a loss yet. There’s a long way to go but this team is legit.
