NFL POWER RANKINGS: Where all 32 teams stand going into Week 8

Record: 1-6

Last week: 29th

Week 7 result: Lost to the Rams, 39-10

Week 8 opponent: at Arizona Cardinals

One thing to know: After losing a heartbreaker to the Packers on Monday night in Week 6, the 49ers came out flat on Sunday. This team could have something when Jimmy Garoppolo returns next year, but until then, they're better off playing for a high draft pick.

Record: 1-5

Last week: 32nd

Week 7 result: Bye

Week 8 opponent: vs. Indianapolis Colts

One thing to know: Head coach Jon Gruden is making good on reports that he planned a "fire sale" for the team, most recently shipping away wide receiver Amari Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a first round pick. Unlike his decision to trade away Khalil Mack before the season, this time, many think the Raiders got the better end of the deal.

Record: 1-6

Last week: 31st

Week 7 result: Lost to the Falcons, 23-20

Week 8 opponent: vs. Washington Redskins

One thing to know: Eli Manning looked slightly improved this week, but still only managed six points in his first three quarters against one of the worst defenses in the league before pushing for two touchdowns in what was essentially garbage time. This week against the Redskins with the Giants looking towards a bye week, he could be playing for his job.

Record: 1-6

Last week: 28th

Week 7 result: Lost to the Broncos, 45-10

Week 8 opponent: vs. San Francisco 49ers

One thing to know: The Cardinals just got their first win of the season two weeks ago against the 49ers, and now the two teams will meet again, with two wins between them. The season is young, but this game could have some big implications when it comes to jockeying for draft position.

Record: 2-4-1

Last week: 25th

Week 7 result: Lost to the Buccaneers, 26-23

Week 8 opponent: at Pittsburgh Steelers

One thing to know: No team has ever had more than five overtime games in a single season. Not even halfway through their 2018 campaign, the Browns have already played in four.

Record: 2-5

Last week: 30th

Week 7 result: Beat the Bills, 37-5

Week 8 opponent: at Oakland Raiders

One thing to know: Marlon Mack lit up the Bills on Sunday, rushing for 126 yards and scoring two touchdowns for the Colts. Add him to your fantasy team if you can.

Record: 3-4

Last week: 17th

Week 7 result: Lost to the Chargers, 20-19

Week 8 opponent: Bye

One thing to know: The gutsy play-calling of head coach Mike Vrabel came back to bite the Titans on Sunday, failing twice on a two-point conversion attempt to lose to the Chargers in London. The Titans have now lost three straight after a promising start to the year.

Record: 3-4

Last week: 22nd

Week 7 result: Beat the Giants, 23-20

Week 8 opponent: Bye

One thing to know: The Falcons have won two straight, but have a long way to go before their season is turned around. They are still looking up from fourth place in an NFC South division that's loaded with talent.

Record: 3-4

Last week: 23rd

Week 7 result: Lost to the Vikings, 37-17

Week 8 opponent: at Chicago Bears

One thing to know: Sam Darnold struggled against the Vikings defense on Sunday, throwing for just 206 yards, 1 touchdown, and 3 interceptions. His job won't be any easier this week as the Jets travel to Chicago to take on the Bears.

Record: 3-4

Last week: 24th

Week 7 result: Beat the Cardinals, 45-10

Week 8 opponent: at Kansas City Chiefs

One thing to know: The Denver Broncos were able to stop a four-game skid with a dominant performance over the Cardinals on Thursday night, but keeping that momentum going on the road, against the Chiefs, feels like a tall order.

Record: 3-3

Last week: 21st

Week 7 result: Beat the Dolphins, 32-21

Week 8 opponent: vs. Seattle Seahawks

One thing to know: After years without a 100-yard rusher, the Detroit Lions look like they've finally established something special with running back Kerryon Johnson, who ran for a whopping 158 yards on Sunday. If he can remain a threat through the second half of the season, it could open up Detroit's passing game for Matthew Stafford even more.

Record: 3-4

Last week: 19th

Week 7 result: Lost to the Redskins, 20-17

Week 8 opponent: Bye

One thing to know: The Cowboys have been one of the worst passing teams in football to start the 2018 season — can newly-acquired Amari Cooper start playing like his old self and provide the spark they need?

Record: 3-3

Last week: 20th

Week 7 result: Bye

Week 8 opponent: at Detroit Lions

One thing to know: The Seahawks have been up-and-down all season, but looked as dominant as football fans remembered from years ago with their big win over the Raiders in London two weeks ago. Coming off of their bye week, Russell Wilson will need to keep the magic going if the Seahawks are to reach the postseason.

Record: 4-3

Last week: 14th

Week 7 result: Lost to the Lions, 32-21

Week 8 opponent: at Houston Texans

One thing to know: Despite their winning record, things in Miami look like a mess right now, with backup quarterback Brock Osweiler doing his best to keep the offense moving and head coach Adam Gase refusing to provide some crucial answers.

Record: 3-3

Last week: 26th

Week 7 result: Beat the Browns, 26-23

Week 8 opponent: at Cincinnati Bengals

One thing to know: Jameis Winston and the Buccaneers did just enough to hold off the Browns in overtime in Week 7, but still face an uphill battle against the Saints and Panthers if they hope to take the NFC South.

Record: 3-4

Last week: 13th

Week 7 result: Lost to the Texans, 20-7

Week 8 opponent: vs. Philadelphia Eagles (in London)

One thing to know: The Jaguars' offense is in free fall, putting up just 10 points over the past two weeks combined. The team is so desperate for a spark that quarterback Blake Bortles was benched late in the game on Sunday in favor of Cody Kessler.

Record: 3-3

Last week: 8th

Week 7 result: Lost to the Patriots, 38-31

Week 8 opponent: vs. New York Jets

One thing to know: Mitch Trubisky and the Chicago Bears came just inches short of completing a Hail Mary in the final seconds of regulation against the Patriots but were stopped just short of the goal line.

Record: 4-3

Last week: 18th

Week 7 result: Beat the Jaguars, 20-7

Week 8 opponent: vs. Miami Dolphins

One thing to know: The Houston Texans have now won four straight games after a 0-3 start to the season, and suddenly find themselves leading the AFC South.

Record: 3-4

Last week: 12th

Week 7 result: Lost to the Panthers, 21-17

Week 8 opponent: vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (in London)

One thing to know: After getting caught celebrating a bit too early, the Eagles blew a 17-point lead to the Panthers at home — the second time this year that Philadelphia has taken a loss after failing to stop a fourth-and-10 or longer. They'll travel to London for their first international game in franchise history hoping to bounce back.

Record: 4-3

Last week: 7th

Week 7 result: Lost to the Chiefs, 45-10

Week 8 opponent: vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

One thing to know: After scoring at least 21 points in each of their first six games to start the season, the Bengals' offense was held to a paltry 10 points against the Chiefs on Sunday. Maybe that Kansas City defense is better than believed.

Record: 4-2

Last week: 16th

Week 7 result: Beat the Cowboys, 20-17

Week 8 opponent: at New York Giants

One thing to know: Washington is off to a terrific 4-2 start. With a win over the Giants in Week 8, they could take a commanding lead in an NFC East division that looks set for a chaotic finish.

Record: 3-2-1

Last week: 9th

Week 7 result: Bye

Week 8 opponent: at Los Angeles Rams

One thing to know: The Packers opened as 8.5-point underdogs against the Rams for their Week 8 matchup — the biggest spread Green Bay has ever faced with Aaron Rodgers under center.

Record: 4-3

Last week: 6th

Week 7 result: Lost to the Saints, 24-23

Week 8 opponent: at Carolina Panthers

One thing to know: Justin Tucker's first career missed extra point came at the worst possible time and wound up costing the Ravens a chance to win in overtime. He's still one of the best kickers to play the game, but it will be interesting to see how he recovers after such a brutal miss.

Record: 3-2-1

Last week: 15th

Week 7 result: Bye

Week 8 opponent: vs. Cleveland Browns

One thing to know: So the Steelers bye week has now come and gone — where's Le'Veon Bell?

Record: 4-2

Last week: 10th

Week 7 result: Beat the Eagles, 21-17

Week 8 opponent: vs. Baltimore Ravens

One thing to know: Cam Newton played Super Cam on Sunday, leading the Panthers on an epic 21-point fourth quarter comeback against the reigning Super Bowl champions. In a crowded NFC playoff picture, it's a win that could prove decisive near the end of the season.

Record: 4-2-1

Last week: 11th

Week 7 result: Beat the Jets, 37-17

Week 8 opponent: vs. New Orleans Saints

One thing to know: Adam Thielen now has more than 100 receiving yards in seven straight games to start the year, tying a record set by Charlie Hennigan back in 1961. Against the questionable Saints secondary, he'll have a solid chance to break it.

Record: 5-2

Last week: 5th

Week 7 result: Beat the Titans, 20-19

Week 8 opponent: Bye

One thing to know: The Chargers only two losses on the season came against the Chiefs and the Rams. If you've been searching for a third team in the AFC that could cause trouble in the postseason, look no further.

Record: 5-1

Last week: 4th

Week 7 result: Beat the Ravens, 24-23

Week 8 opponent: at Minnesota Vikings

One thing to know: Just two weeks after Tom Brady threw for his 500th career touchdown pass, Saints quarterback Drew Brees became the fourth quarterback to reach the mark. The two will be battling to top each other on the list until one retires.

Record: 5-2

Last week: 2nd

Week 7 result: Beat the Bears, 38-31

Week 8 opponent: at Buffalo Bills

One thing to know: After a few stumbles to start the season the Patriots are once again looking like an AFC powerhouse. Their divisional matchup against the Bills could get ugly.

Record: 6-1

Last week: 3rd

Week 7 result: Beat the Bengals, 45-10

Week 8 opponent: vs. Denver Broncos

One thing to know: Patrick Mahomes continues to shine for the Chiefs, throwing for 358 yards and four touchdowns on Sunday night against the formidable Bengals.

Record: 7-0

Last week: 1st

Week 7 result: Beat the 49ers, 39-10

Week 8 opponent: vs. Green Bay Packers

One thing to know: Another week, another dominant performance from the Los Angeles Rams. It's tough to see Sean McVay's squad as anything short of Super Bowl favorites as we approach the midpoint of the season.
