Week 8: 3

Best addition of the offseason: LB Jihad Campbell

First-round pick out of Alabama participated in Fangio's VIC defense to fly.Campbell has played 87% of the snaps with 45 interceptions, eight qb hits and eight interceptions.His role changed when Nakobe dean returned from a knee injury and went to start in the corridor from monument to monument.It comes with an academic format, but Campbell's production is already a valuable publication.- Tim MCMmanis

4. Bill Buffalo (5-2)

Week 8 results: Panthers beat 40-9

Week 8 Goal: 6th

Best Edition: DT Deone Walker

The fourth-round pick has become a valuable player for the Bills, especially considering the injuries that have affected their defensive position.The playing time for Walker and other rookies on defense isn't a surprise, but he started six games and played 51.7 percent of the snaps on defense.He is tied with Ed Oliver in tackles for a loss (seven) and ranks third in the league in stops (8.2%).With Oliver out indefinitely with a torn left bicep, the Bills will need Walker to continue their momentum.-Alaina Getzenberg

5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-2)

Resultat Week 8 - Saints 23-3

Rating for week 8: 4

Best addition: Word Emeka Egbuka

The No. 19 pick was slowed by a hamstring injury while the team played without its other top three receivers (Mike Evans, Chris Godwin Jr., Jalen McMillan).But Egbuka's 562 receiving yards ranked seventh in the league, and all five of his touchdown catches (tied for eighth) came in the first five games against the Seahawks.The rookie had his best performance in Week 5, catching all seven targets for 163 yards and a touchdown.-- Jenna Line

Week 8 Score: beat the hosts 28-7

Ranking Week 8: 7

Although Simmons has been sidelined since Oct. 12 due to a family situation, the first-round pick showed he could be the Chiefs' left tackle for quarterback Patrick Mahomes.Through five games, Simmons has excelled in pass protection, allowing the Chiefs' offense to execute.When he comes back, he could be a Pro Bowler.Taylor

7. Green Bay Packing House (5-1-1)

Week 8 results: Beat the Cavaliers 35-25

Saturday 8 A: 8

Outstanding offseason addition: DE Micah Parsons

Parsons was everything the Packers hoped for — and maybe more — when they traded two first-team picks plus Kenny Clark before giving him a $188 million contract.Not only does he lead the NFL in tackles, Green Bay ranks sixth in the NFL in yards allowed per game (289.4).--- Rob Devysky

Alex Smith, Adam Schefter and Rex Ryan discuss the Packers' young roster and their chances to reach the Super Bowl.

8. Los Angeles Rams (5-2)

Week 8 Results: See you

Week 8 career: 5th

Best offseason addition: WR Davante Adams

The Rams rebuilt their receiver room this offseason, adding the veteran to a two-year, $46 million deal to pair with Puka Naqua.While Adams and quarterback Matthew Stafford say it takes time to build chemistry with a new teammate, the growth showed in the Rams' final game before their bye.In Week 7 against the Jaguars, Adams had his most productive performance of the season with three touchdowns in London.-- Sarah Barshop

9. Denver Broncosi (6-2)

Week 8 Result: Defeat Cowboys 44-24

Week 8 Ranking: 11

Additions Offsason letasason: rb j.k.doobbins

After getting four touchdowns from the rookie on Sunday, the long-term answer here may be different.But currently, fifth-year ball carrier Dobbins is third in the league with 79.3 rushing yards per game and second only to the Colts' Jonathan Taylor in rushes of at least 10 yards.Dobbins is the first running back to have two 100-yard rushing games in a season since Melvin Gordon had three in 2021. The first back are the Broncos. And with his reliability as a pass protector and receiver, Dobbins has checked every box.--Jeff Legvold

10. New England Patriots (6-2)

Week 8: Broww 22-13

Week 8 Colors: 12

Best offseason addition: HC Mike Vrabel

When Vrabel was hired in January as the 16th coach in franchise history, he said, “I want to shake up the football team.I want to shake this building.I want to shake our fans," he said.Let's see if everything is galvanized.Patriots off to their best start in 2019;Vrabel's clear focus on the team's identity and goals resonated throughout the organization.The PATS will play with "effort," asked Vrabel, and they'll have their first goal in the fight for the AFC East title, as they're half a game behind on charges.

11. Seattle Seahawks (5-2)

Week 8 result: Farewell

Rating Week 8: 9

Best Addition of the Offseason: QB Sam Darnold

You could come up with a long list of home run additions made by general manager John Schneider and coach Mike MacDonald last offseason, including offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence and rookie left guard Gray Zabel.But when a team trades quarterbacks and gets the kind of play Darnold has in Seattle, he's the easy pick.Signed to a three-year, $100.5 million contract after the Seahawks traded Geno Smith to the Raiders, Darnold is sixth in total QBR and is showing that his brilliant season with the Vikings is no one-year wonder.- Brady Henderson

12. San Francisco 49ers (53)

Week 8 result: Texans lost 26-15

Saturday 8 A: 10

Best offseason addition: DC Robert Saleh

Take it from San Francisco tight end George Kitt, who said all year that Saleh was the Niners' biggest addition.Through eight games, with the loss of star linebacker Fred Warner (ankle) and quarterback Nick Bosa (ACL) to season-ending injuries, Saleh had to earn every penny on defense.Lacking a pass rush and an interception, it's not perfect, but it's allowed in points.(20.5) Saleh's defense is the eighth best.Wouldn't be surprised if Saleh is a strong candidate in the next coaching session.--Nick Wagner

13. Pittsburgh Steelers (4-3)

Week 8 result: Loser of Match 35-25

Week 8 Rating: 13

Best bargain addition: QB Aaron Rodgers

Of all the offseason acquisitions, Rodgers, perhaps the most controversial addition, has been the most reliable for the Steelers.At 41 and two years removed from an Achilles tear, it's unclear what he has left in the tank.But Rodgers has been a steady offensive leader and has shown flashes of historic moves by extending plays, breaking the pocket and hitting deep balls downfield.But it is not a panacea for attack.The Steelers, who converted 10 third downs against the Packers.-- Brooke Pryor

Rex Ryan, Alex Smith and Adam Schefter discuss the Steeler defense and how it could devastate their season.

14. Los Angeles Chargers (5-3)

Week 8 result: beat the Vikings 37-10

Week 8 rating: 15

Best addition of the season: WR Keenan Allen

Alan is technically just a joint.He spent his first 11 seasons with the Chargers, but was traded to Chicago for a fourth-round pick after a contract dispute before the 2024 season.He returned to the Bolts in early August and has been a favorite target of quarterback Justin Herbert.Allen leads the team in yards (479), receptions (48) and targets (70).He has earned the nickname "Third and Keenan" from his teammates because he has the fifth-most rushing touchdowns in the NFL (31).-- Chris Rimm

15. Jacksonville jaguars (4-3)

Results of the eighth week: bye

Easy 8 Easy: 17

Best outside linebacker: WE/CB Travis Hunter

He's already the Jaguars' best receiver and already at corner.Coach Liam Cohen also makes it a priority to call plays where Hunter is the No. 1 option on offense.He leads the team with 28 catches and is coming off his first 100-yard game (eight catches, 101 yards and a score against the Rams).

16. Chicago (4-3)

Week 8 Result: Lost to Ravens 30-16

Week 8 Rank: 14

Outstanding Offseason Addition: HC Ben Jonson

The Bears are a talented, well-coached football team under Johnson.Results aren't always there as red zone efficiency and penalties remain issues.But Chicago has won four straight and has a buy-in that feels unlike any other season.Johnson has preached accountability, evidenced by his candid reflections on decisions and decisions that have not worked.The changing culture within Halas Hall is a breath of fresh air.-- Courtney Cronin

17. Houston Texans (3-4)

Week 8 result: 49ers lost 26-15

Week 8 Ranking: 21st

Best offseason addition: RB Woody Marks

The fourth round pick was a nice addition to the offense.Marks is boom or bust at times, but when he's booming he shows explosiveness and dynamic ability in the running and passing games.He has three catches of over 20 yards this season.Nice complement to USC rookie Nick Chubb, who is even more damaging on first downs. Marks leads Texans in scrimmage with 379. -- DJ Bien-Aime

18. Dallas Cowboys (3-4-1)

Week 8 result: lost to the broncos 44-24

Week 8 standings: 16

Best outfielder: rb javonte Williams

No one could have predicted that Williams would end up in the hands of 1345 yards, time 17 when the cows, 17 when the cows, when the cows would separate from one man.And yet, here it is.Williams has shown his ability to break down other routes and pick dirty yards.YOU HAVE TO DO IT EVENTUALLY.But if teams want to play too deep to protect receivers like Lamb Ceedy and George Pickens, then the Cowboys will continue to feed Williams.- Todd Atocher

Stephen A. Smith inspired Joney Jones to reinforce the colloquialism of Conkys to go with his powers.

19. Carolina Panthers (4-4)

Week 8 result: 40-9 loss to Bills

Week 8 Ranking: 18

Best Offseason Addition: RB Rico Downdle

Two games later, Franchle's 473 touchdowns and Carolina went 2-0.For the season, the veteran running back had 12 yards and 12 receiving yards.The cover is split between Hubbard and Hammer, and the latter has made a good impression.- David Newton

Week 8 rating: 19

Best offseason addition: LT Laremy Tunsil

Washington traded four picks, including a 2025 third-rounder and a 2026 second-rounder, to Houston in exchange for Tunsil and a fourth-round pick.He gave the Chiefs their best play at tackle since Trent Williams in 2018. He was credited with allowing Tunsil three sacks, though one of those came on a game that lasted 3.7 seconds.Regardless, he came at a premium cost and is worth an extension with one year remaining on his deal, even at 31 years old. “I would definitely like to have Laremy as my bodyguard,” Washington coach Dan Quinn said after Week 1.That remains true two months later, although the hamstring injury he suffered on Monday must be monitored.-- John Kim

Week 8 result: They lost 37-10 to the Chargers

Week 8 standings: 22

Week 8 Female: 26

Best Seasonal Addition: K Tyler Loop

The ears were in danger and took the sixth child in exchange for Justin Tucker, who was the most accurate kicker in the NFL at the time of Baltimore's defense that he was sexually active.

8th week result: Goodbye

Week of October 8: 24

Best addition of the season: Edge Josh Sweat

25. Miami Dolphins (2-6)

Week 8 result: Falcons lost 34-10

Rating week 8: 30

Best addition of the offseason: CB Rasul Douglas

Week 8 Results: 34-10 loss to Dolphins.

Week 8 Ranking: 20

27. CHEVECH BROCK (2-6)

Week 8 Results: Lost to Patriots 32-13

Ranking of week 8: 25th

Best offseason addition: DT Malek Collins

Best addition of the season: QB Jackson Dart

The rookie quarterback made an impression despite going just 2-3 as a starter.He revitalized a sluggish Giants offense that hadn't scored the past two seasons.It's beyond your dart skills.Perhaps most impressive was his ability to avoid sacks and use his legs.Dart this week joined Cam Newton as the only quarterbacks since 1950 to score a touchdown.According to the study, he recorded passing and rushing yards in four of his first five career starts.--Jordan Raanan

Seeson Add: RT Armond Membou

No.Drafted with the No. 1 pick, Membu assumed a starting role in OTAs, and he never looked back as he played every offensive snap.He also ranks seventh out of 63 qualified tackles in run-winning percentage, improving as a run blocker.Membu had some hiccups in pass defense (39th in pass-win rate), but he didn't look out of place.It is a solid structure with a high ceiling- Rich Simi
