Patriots snubbed in new NFL power rankings despite hottest streak in AFC

The New England Patriots have been one of the league's best teams through eight weeks and currently sit second in the AFC and atop the AFC East. Their 6-2 record has already bested their win total from last year (4), and both their offense and defense are among the best in the league.

Drake Maye is playing at an MVP level, the defensive line has been incredible, and Christian Gonzalez has been lockdown. The squad has been incredible across the board, as shown by their now five-game win streak.

That win streak isn't just impressive, but it's the longest in the NFL.
