The Week 9 NFL power rankings are in, and the top of the board hasn't budged: the Buffalo Bills strengthened their grip on the No. 1 spot in Pro Football Talk's latest rankings.

Below them, there's movement. The Green Bay Packers nudged upward after handling the Panthers in primetime — a modest rise, but a rise. The Atlanta Falcons went the other direction, dropping in The Athletic's Week 9 rankings after a rough stretch.

Midseason rankings are a snapshot, not a verdict, but the pattern is clear enough: Buffalo keeps separating from the pack, Green Bay is trending the right way, and Atlanta has ground to make up as the back half of the schedule arrives.
