AFC Power Rankings Week 9: Raiders skyrocket, Pats hold at No. 1

<p>The Browns sink to their lowest ranking so far this season as a result of their 14-point home loss in Week 8. Victory was within reach in the third quarter when the Browns were trailing by just four points, but then Josh McCown tossed an avoidable interception off his back foot.</p> <p>On the bright side, Gary Barnidge caught his sixth touchdown pass in as many games on Sunday, continuing to garner a reputation as a Gronk-like touchdown machine at tight end. In addition, ball hawk safety Tashaun Gipson picked-off his second pass of the season.</p> <p>Week 8 also marked the debut of the Browns’ new orange alternate jerseys. Evidently, it didn’t help them win this week.</p>. NFC North. 2-6. Cleveland Browns. 15. player. 53
