Forgotten by the prognosticators almost in the second following the announcement of Tom Brady’s retirement, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are ultimately not that sunken. With a convincing success against the Saints, Baker Mayfield and the veterans of the Florida team showed that they will have to be counted on in the race for the NFC South title.
Enough to also offer them great progression in the Power Ranking!
As a reminder, this hierarchy is not only based on the number of successes, but also on current form. If two teams are close and haven’t played each other recently, one wonders which one would win if the match were played today. Beating the strongest is not going to propel you to the top in the blink of an eye. Losing to one of the dunces won’t plunge you into the abyss either. One can win and tumble, bow and climb. This is the merciless law of Power Ranking…
