Perfect records don't last forever, and even the 49ers had to drop a game eventually. As it turns out, they weren't exactly the only team to lose a game unexpectedly this week.
Jeremy Wohlfart ranks the San Francisco 49ers at number one in his Week 8 NFL power rankings despite their 29-20 defeat against the Atlanta Falcons. The writer argues that the 6-1 49ers earned enough credit through the first six weeks to maintain the top spot, particularly because the second-ranked Kansas City Chiefs also suffered a loss.
The rankings place the Kansas City Chiefs at number two, the Buffalo Bills at number three, and the undefeated Minnesota Vikings at number four. Wohlfart highlights that the 49ers enter their bye week expecting several injured players to return before facing the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 9.
