NFL Power Rankings, Week 7: Baker Mayfield-Led Buccaneers NFL Power Rankings Week 7 No. 1, While Seahawks Crack Top 3

"Tampa Bay's Baker Mayfield-led squad has taken the top spot in the latest NFL power rankings, leaving many to wonder if the Buccaneers truly have what it takes to hold on to the No. 1 spot. After a dominant win over the San Francisco 49ers last week, the Buccaneers have catapulted to the top, with many experts hailing their flexibility and resilience in the face of injuries.
According to Eric Edholm of the NFL, 'Flexibility is the key this season. Favorites will emerge. Pretenders will fade.' Edholm's comments come as the Buccaneers continue to defy expectations, with Baker Mayfield delivering clutch performances despite being without key receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin Jr.
However, not everyone is convinced that the Buccaneers are the clear-cut front-runners just yet. Jeff Saturday of ESPN notes that 'there's no clear-cut front-runner' in the NFL, citing the Eagles' recent loss to the Giants and the Chiefs' bounce-back win over the Lions.
Meanwhile, Tori McElhaney of the Atlanta Falcons highlights the Falcons' own impressive performance against the Bills, which saw them jump in the rankings. 'I have to get this ranking out, and yet, I do not have much time to give you an explanation as to why I ranked certain teams where,' McElhaney writes.
As the NFL season continues to unfold, one thing is clear: there's no shortage of surprises. From the Buccaneers' unexpected rise to the top to the Falcons' impressive performance, Week 7 has proven to be one for the books. Will the Buccaneers be able to hold on to the No. 1 spot, or will another team make a bold move? Only time will tell.",
