NFL Week 8 Power Rankings: Chiefs and 49ers Tumble After First Losses of the Season

Oct 26, 2026 | 11:19 PM EDT Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season is in the books, and it continues to be one of the more unpredictable seasons in recent memory. Two of the three undefeated teams fell, and after seven weeks, there are just four teams in the league with one or fewer losses, but there is also only one winless team remaining. Parity in the NFL is at an all time high right now, which means it’s incredibly hard to rank everyone, but we gave it our best shot. Here are our Week 8 power rankings. Last Week’s Rank: 31 Justin Herbert probably threw an interception during the bye week. Wouldn’t be surprising. Los Angeles is the worst team in the league, record-wise, and that won’t change until they show some life. Last Week’s Rank: 32 Week 7 Result: 28-25 win over NYJ The Miami Dolphins got a win! They have now gone two weeks without a loss after a bye last week! I honestly thought they…

“I’m Not a Big Fan of Ghosts”: Patriots QB Drake Maye Names His Favorite Cryptid

Oct 27, 2026 | 8:20 AM EDT Aug 03, 2024; Foxborough, MA, USA; New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye (10) throws a pass during training camp at Gillette Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Eric Canha-USA TODAY Sports Who would have thought that Patriots quarterback Drake Maye had a favorite cryptid? During a conversation on the Rich and Ken with Ted Johnson podcast, a fan asked Maye which mysterious creature he liked the most, naming Bigfoot and the Jersey Devil as examples. Maye shared his choice but also made it clear that he was not a fan of ghosts. “Bigfoot, American,” Drake Maye said on Rich and Ken with Ted Johnson. “I’m going to go with the Loch Ness Monster count.” The moment Maye revealed his non-American Cryptid, host Ken Laird hopped in and gave him his own version, saying, “Well, there’s our own version, Champ, up in Vermont. It’s Vermont’s version in Lake Champlain of the Loch…

Stamford among fastest growing ZIP codes in Connecticut for young adults, data shows

STAMFORD - Why are so many young adults across Connecticut moving closer to train stations? Whether it's for a shorter commute to work or more affordable housing, the shift shows that more changes are on the horizon in the state's housing market. A CT Insider analysis found that Connecticut's young adult population - ages 25 to 44 - grew 6% over almost a decade from 2015 to 2024. An increase of 6% might seem like a lot - that is until you compare the state's growth to Stamford. One of the city's downtown ZIP codes saw a 53% surge, the largest in the state. The four measures often point to different places, which is the point. A ZIP code where homes sell fastest, for example, isn't necessarily where families are moving or where young workers are settling. What's appealing to one person may not be appealing to someone else. What attracted people to the 06901 ZIP code? It could be because…

Immigrant rights groups back New York's in-state tuition laws in federal court case

ALBANY — New York immigrant rights organizations have stepped into the legal fight over the state’s tuition policies, filing a friend-of-the-court brief earlier this month in support of laws that allow certain noncitizen students to qualify for in-state tuition at public colleges and universities. Similar lawsuits were filed in August by the Justice Department against Connecticut and Vermont, which brought the number of federal cases challenging state laws that extend in-state tuition eligibility for certain noncitizen students to 17. For that population, in-state eligibility requires at least two years of attendance at a New York high school, graduation, and application to a state college within five years of graduating. At SUNY and CUNY institutions, in-state tuition is generally at least 50% lower than out-of-state tuition. Gittel Evangelist, director of communications at Rural and…
