8. Cleveland Browns

The Browns are currently tied for second place in the AFC North, and nobody is doubting the tremendous talent on this team. However, they have yet to truly put it all together. In some games, their offensive will be through the roof, but their defense drops the ball. In others, the defense will bail out a sloppy performance from quarterback Baker Mayfield.

The good news for Browns fans is that analytics indicate this team is even better than the 8th spot I currently have in my NFL power rankings. Cleveland currently has the 6th-ranked offense with the 11th defense.

In addition, this team has faced some quality opponents like the Chiefs, Vikings, and Chargers, and they had a chance to come away with wins in all three games.

With a very challenging task against the Arizona Cardinals up next, the Browns will have a chance to shoot near the top of NFL power rankings if they can take care of business against a great opponent this week.
