    Number 10 in the power rankings list are the Pittsburgh Steelers... Number nine, down seven spots are the Kansas City Chiefs... Number eight on the list, the Los Angeles Rams... Seventh on my power rankings are your Tampa Bay Buccaneers... Number six. Down three spots Are the Baltimore Ravens... Number five, up four spots... The Los Angeles Chargers... Number four on the list, up three spots. I'm putting the commanders here... I'm putting the Bills at three... Packers are up three... So the Eagles are still atop my power rankings.
