ESPN’s NFL Power Rankings For Week 3 Move Buffalo Bills To No. 16

ESPN's 2011 NFL power rankings for Week 3 were handed out and I immediately looked for the Buffalo Bills -- No. 16. After the Bills throttled the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1, 41-7, ESPN had Buffalo ranked No. 27, which caused a stir among the Bills faithful.

This week, ESPN moved them up a lot more. The Bills go up 11 spots to No. 16 in ESPN's power rankings this week after they capped an awesome comeback over the Oakland Raiders. In fact, they were the highest risers in SB Nation's NFL power rankings this week.

The Bills are still the lowest ranked undefeated team, right behind the 2-0 Washington Redskins.

The New Orleans Saints (4) and Houston Texans (5) enter the top five after the Philadelphia Eagles and Baltimore Ravens dropped this week. On the other side of things, the Browns move out of the cellar, which is now occupied by the Seattle Seahawks, right behind the Kansas City Chiefs.

Like most power rankings around the media, ESPN has the Green Bay Packers at top followed by the New England Patriots.

Here are SB Nation’s power rankings this week.
