NFL Power Rankings Week 8: Steelers and Top 10 Teams Who Will Fall This Week

The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of three teams in my NFL power rankings who will lose this week.

Week 8 has many exciting matchups with teams fighting for the playoffs playing each other, which will create some great drama.

Let's take a look at three teams who will fall in the top 10 of the power rankings this week.

1) Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers face the 5-1 New England Patriots this week at home, and will be dominated by Tom Brady and the Patriots top-ranked passing attack.

The Patriots have scored 30-plus points in five of six games this season, against some quality defenses too.

Pittsburgh won't be able to match the points Brady will put up on Sunday, and the Steelers will fall to 5-3.

2) San Diego Chargers

The San Diego Chargers gave away last week's game to the New York Jets by shooting themselves in the foot with turnovers, and now have to face a rapidly improving Kansas City Chiefs team on "Monday Night Football."

Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel will lead the Chiefs to victory through the passing attack with wide receivers Dwayne Bowe and Steve Breaston, and with a rapidly improving running game, the Kansas City offense is once again unit capable of scoring a lot of points.

3) Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills are becoming who we thought they were, an average team but not a real playoff contender.

On Sunday, the Bills will lose to the Washington Redskins, who will get to 4-3 and possibly back in the NFC East lead.

The game is also being played in Toronto as a Bills home game, so crowd support likely won't be too much of a help to Buffalo.
