By the end of Saturday, a total of six ranked teams took losses in Week 9, opening plenty of room for teams to move up on voters' ballots.

It would have been disingenuous for the Los Angeles Rams to fall too far in the Week 9 power rankings following their Week 8 bye.

Week 8 of the NFL season featured another Sunday marked by a wild accomplishment by one of the league's quarterbacks.

6 receptions, 89 receiving yards, 2 receiving TDs
