2025 NFL Week 8 Power Rankings: Cowboys rise after dominating win
Blogging The Boys Blogging The Boys

The NFL is a week-to-week league, and in our current one the sun is shining a bit brighter on the Dallas Cowboys. Thankfully there is no AT&T Stadium glare to make it impossible to see, though.

Things appear to be looking up for the Cowboys, but they can just as quickly turn as we know full well. We are almost halfway through the NFL season at large and teams all over the league are juggling that same mental battle of figuring out who they are going to be as the cooler temperatures arrive.

Who are the Cowboys at this moment? How do people view them? Heck, how should we view them?

Below you will find our power rankings with Week 7 officially behind us and a collection of how outlets across the internet have the Cowboys ranked.


1 – Detroit Lions (LW: 2)

We have a new top team.

2 – Buffalo Bills (LW: 3)

Hopefully the week off helped them out. They looked awkward last we saw them.

3 – Seattle Seahawks (LW: 8)

They look ferocious right now.

4 – Tampa Bay Buccaneers (LW: 1)

Monday night was rough, but they will stabilize. You don’t have to face the Lions every week.

5 – Philadelphia Eagles (LW: 5)

No doubt about this one. Sunday was impressive.

6 – Indianapolis Colts (LW: 6)

We are at a point where it must be acknowledged how very much for real they are.

7 – Los Angeles Rams (LW: 7)

It feels like there are no truly great teams so far this season. The Rams are making a case to be one, though.

8 – Kansas City Chiefs (LW: 10)

We also have to reconcile with the fact that they are back. Like… all the way back.

9 – Green Bay Packers (LW: 4)

They dropped, but this is a matter of everyone else in front of htem looking really good while they struggled with a lowly Cardinals team. They are clearly very good and a win is a win.

10 – New England Patriots (LW: 11)

The AFC East is going to be fascinating this year because of how into things the Patriots are. Their schedule across the rest of the season is very friendly. Perhaps they can really do this.

11 – Chicago Bears (LW: 12)

It was a little bit of a struggle early on, but they are stacking wins. Maybe that loss won’t be as frustrating to us when we look back in December.

12 – San Francisco 49ers (LW: 14)

Kyle Shanahan is back to finding a way, whatever it atkes. Good for them. It is weird how they feel so eh at the moment, but that we know they are going to get significantly better as things go along.

13 – Denver Broncos (LW: 18)

That was as insane of an ending as we are ever going to see in an NFL game. Hopefully the Broncos used up all they have available to themselves before...
