NFL QB Power Rankings, Week 8: Updated QB rankings after Week 7 action

Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills has thrown four interceptions in the first six games of the season, a significant increase compared to his six interceptions throughout the entire previous year, highlighting a regression in his performance. The Bills hold a 4-2 record but are on a two-game losing streak, with Allen ranked 12th in power rankings and 11 quarterbacks outperforming him this season. In a primetime game against the Atlanta Falcons before the bye week, Allen and the team had a disastrous performance, and the Bills are now second in the AFC East after a loss to the New England Patriots. Additionally, Allen has been sacked 12 times this year, nearing the 14 sacks from the entire 2024 regular season, further indicating a decline from his MVP season.

Aaron Rodgers of the Pittsburgh Steelers has delivered strong results with 14 touchdown passes and a 105 passer rating through the first six games, achieving a 95+ passer rating in five of those contests, demonstrating his continued effectiveness as a veteran quarterback. However, the Steelers' loss in Week 6 is largely attributed to defensive shortcomings and coaching under Mike Tomlin, as the team dropped to a 4-2 record. Rodgers is considered capable of leading the Steelers to an AFC North title in the 2025 NFL season, but their position could be complicated by potential wins from the Cincinnati Bengals with Joe Flacco and a turnaround by the Baltimore Ravens upon Lamar Jackson's return.
