The Buffalo Bills have lost two straight games, the latest of which came on a last-second field goal against the Houston Texans. Where does that leave them after five weeks? Here is this week's power rankings roundup.

Pro Football Talk: No. 10

"Why aren’t they linked to Davante Adams?" - Mike Florio

ESPN: No. 6

"There's no denying just how underwhelming Samuel has been. Through five games, he has nine receptions on 13 targets for 48 yards and no touchdowns. By coming to Buffalo, Samuel reunited with offensive coordinator Joe Brady from the Panthers' 2020 season. Yet, the production and opportunities have just not been there. Without leading receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle) against the Texans, coach Sean McDermott pointed to Samuel as someone he was thankful to have, but Samuel finished the game with one reception, one rush for minus-1 yards and 0.9 fantasy points." - Alaina Getzenberg

Yahoo Sports: No. 6

"Josh Allen was horrible when pressured, completing 1 of 14 attempts under pressure, via Yahoo Sports’ Nate Tice. Given that, it’s pretty impressive the Bills were even in the game. Losing two straight isn’t ideal, but don’t freak out over losses at Baltimore and Houston."- Frank Schwab
