NFL Power Rankings Week 9: New York Jets moving up

November 8, 2015; Santa Clara, CA, USA; Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (11) is upended by San Francisco 49ers strong safety Jaquiski Tartt (29) as cornerback Dontae Johnson (36) and free safety Eric Reid (35) look on during the third quarter at Levi

24.) Washington Redskins (3-5)

The Redskins had the poor luck of having to face the Patriots in Week 9, and like all the other teams to face the Patriots this season, the Redskins lost. The Redskins didn’t do much against New England, as they totaled fewer than 300 total yards on offense, as the Patriots shut down their rushing attack. Washington is still very much alive in the NFC East with the Giants just one game above .500

23.) San Francisco 49ers (3-6)

The 49ers made a bold move to bench Colin Kaepernick in Week 9 for Blaine Gabbert, but it was a move that resulted in a win against the Falcons. Gabbert totaled 185 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, and two interceptions in the win. The 49ers’ defense looked like it was in vintage form against the Falcons, and the move to bench Kaepernick looks like the right one after one game.

22.) Chicago Bears (3-5)

The Bears were able to go out to the West Coast and get a win on Monday Night Football. Without running back Matt Forte, the Bears were still able to produce on the offensive side of the ball. Jay Cutler totaled 345 passing yards and two passing touchdowns, but he did throw a pick-six early on in the game. Alshon Jeffery continued to dominate since returning from injury, as he totaled 10 receptions and 151 receiving yards.
