Week eight of the NFL had some great games that influenced the NFL Power Rankings for week nine. This had to be one of the best weeks in the NFL so far.

It all started on Thursday night with the high scoring game between the Titans and Jaguars. That was followed by another game in London that resulted in another tie. This was the first time the NFL had ties in back to back weeks since 1997.

There were three overtime games providing for much excitement for the fans. Tom Brady and the Patriots exacted revenge on the Buffalo Bills. Denver also avenged a previous loss to the San Diego Chargers.

Matt Ryan produced a game-winning drive with under two minutes remaining to defeat Green Bay. Sebastian Janikowski, mister clutch, missed back to back field goals sending the game into overtime. But Derek Carr, yet again, found a way to win on the road.

The Jets looked like they would be the first victim to the Cleveland Browns but turned it around. In the Bengals-Redskins game, there were four missed kicks resulting in a tie. After a bye the Panthers finally found their defense tormenting the Cardinals all game.

The Texans keep finding ways to pull out victories. Dallas struggled throughout the game but when it came down to it, Prescott drove the team down the field.

Halloween weekend has brought strange events to the NFL in week eight. It changes the Power Rankings but for the second straight week, the Patriots hold on to the top spot. Meanwhile, Minnesota continues to fall down the rankings.
