Power rankings: Where the Bills rank in Week 7 national polls after another loss

The Buffalo Bills have been at the top of NFL national power rankings polls every week throughout the 2025 NFL season.

Is Week 7 going to be different? The Bills (4-2) are now fresh off two-straight losses. Most recently, it was a 24-14 defeat to the Atlanta Falcons on "Monday Night Football."

Here’s how the Bills fare in national media power rankings polls heading into Week 7:

7. Buffalo Bills (2):

In fairness, they're missing a lot of key guys at the moment. And, in fairness, their four victories came against clubs with an aggregate 3-21 record.

Bills (No. 4; 4-2): Their four wins have come against teams with a combined record of 3-21.

The Athletic

Monday: Lost to Falcons 24-14

Fantasy focus: James Cook

Cook was about the only thing working for Buffalo’s offense Monday night as Josh Allen threw two interceptions and was held to 180 yards and a 72.6 passer rating. Cook had 17 carries for 87 yards and is the 29th-leading fantasy scorer in the league (17.43 ppg).

6. Buffalo Bills (4-2)

Week 6 Result: Lost vs. Atlanta 24-14

Though many expected the Buffalo Bills to bounce back from their first loss of the season, they went flat under the Monday night bright lights. The Bills scored a season-low of 14 points and gave up a whopping 443 total yards from scrimmage. Buffalo must patch up its run defense, which ranked 30th going into Week 6, and allowed 170 yards and a score to Bijan Robinson.

Just two weeks ago, the Bills were the league's last unbeaten team. Now, they need to figure out how to end a two-game skid.

10. Bills (-7)

They have major issues right now on the defensive side of the ball, and the offense has no speed down the field. They limp into their bye with two straight losses.

5. Buffalo Bills

Back-to-back losses against inferior teams is bad enough, but the Bills' bigger problem is they’re not going to win much late in the season or in the playoffs with the terrible run defense that Bijan Robinson shredded on Monday night.

6. Buffalo Bills (4–2)

Last week’s ranking: No. 2Last week’s result: lost to Falcons, 24–14This week: idle

Ok, now it’s time to point out that the four teams Buffalo has beaten so far this season have a combined three wins. A sloppy, pedestrian performance against Atlanta capped by a failed potential pick-six at the end of the game doesn’t raise major big-picture questions—but it does give the Bills their very own Chiefs look-in-the-mirror-moment.

Lesson learned: This Bills team still has a lot to learn about itself.

Coming into the season, the hype for the Bills was high, with reigning MVP Josh Allen set for another big year. But if anything has been clear for this team through six games, it's that there are some major questions still to be answered to truly have a run at a Super Bowl title. Is the defense talented enough to put together a complete game? Is there enough talent at wide receiver to give Allen targets downfield? The limitations of this team have been clear, even in the wins, and there is work to be done
