Here is a breakdown of the various power ranking websites. The highest is 6 from walterfootball of all people and the lowest is 13. Defense was the overriding theme here and surprisingly not Ryan Fitzpatrick's inept and extremely shaky play.

The Bills fought hard on Sunday, but couldn't come up with just one more explosive play against the Giants. There is nothing better than one-play scoring drives like Fred Jackson's 80-yard touchdown run, but they need to be able to sustain drives and get three-and-outs on defense to be consistent week in and week out.

There are issues stopping teams for that defense. The Giants moved it when they had to and so have a lot of other teams. That has to stop.

Defense is a big question mark entering the bye.
PFT
13. Bills (No. 4; 4-2): If the Bills want to be elite, they need to find a way to beat good teams on the road.

Defense is an obvious concern right now. The Bills simply can't rely on the team's offense to come through with big drives each and every fourth quarter. Looking back, Buffalo probably should have beaten the Giants.
Walterfootball
6 Buffalo Bills (4-2) - Previously: #6 - I'm not going to penalize the Bills at all because they lost by three points as three-point underdogs without their best defensive player, Kyle Williams.
