NFL Power Rankings Week 7: Top teams fall, Chiefs reclaim throne

The last of the unbeaten collapsed shockingly in Week 6 with both the San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles, the top-two teams in the power rankings a week ago, losing in upsets.

So much can change on a week-to-week basis, and if anything, the recent slate of games serves as a reminder to never get comfortable.

The 49ers looked like an unstoppable juggernaut before receiving a hard reality check from backup quarterback PJ Walker and the Cleveland Browns. Meanwhile, the New York Jets defense made Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts a turnover machine and ultimately grounded the birds at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.

San Francisco and Philadelphia falling off the mountaintop paved the way for the Kansas City Chiefs to retake the throne as the No. 1-ranked team in the NFL.
