Steelers rise to No. 10 in Week 9 NFL power rankings as Bills claim top spot

Pittsburgh improved to a 6-2 record and climbed to No. 10 in the latest NFL power rankings following a 27-6 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. The Steelers recorded 200 rushing yards and sacked Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson eight times, with T.J. Watt contributing two sacks.

"We ran it on offense, and we sacked the quarterback on defense," a team spokesperson said after the game.

The Steelers now lead the AFC North and rank fourth in the league in scoring defense, allowing 18.0 points per game, while also topping the NFL in total sacks with 26. Their rushing attack has averaged 145.7 yards over the past three games.

The Buffalo Bills assumed the No. 1 spot in the rankings, overtaking previous leaders. At the opposite end, the Los Angeles Chargers remain at the bottom after a loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

The Steelers will enter their bye week before facing the Cincinnati Bengals in a division matchup on Sunday night.
