Here are my power rankings for Week 8 of the NFL season.
1. New England Patriots (7-0 record, No. 1 ranking last week)
The schedule gets much tougher from here. I've heard some of the players they face coming up even have mostly functioning spleens.
2. San Francisco 49ers (6-0, No. 2)
By shutting out the Redskins on the road, the 49ers defense made a remarkable statement that they ... could do the bare minimum that should be expected of them.
