Yahoo Sports released its Week 9 power rankings for the 2026 NFL season on Tuesday, highlighting the Dallas Cowboys' continued freefall. The analysis, authored by RJ Ochoa of SB Nation, suggests the franchise has reached unprecedented depths of futility this season.
The Week 9 rankings arrive at the midway point of the 2026 campaign, with the Cowboys' performance drawing particular scrutiny. Ochoa's assessment indicates the team has demonstrated "no bottom exists" for their struggles, marking a historic low point for the organization.
The full rankings evaluate all 32 teams through eight weeks of play, with the Cowboys' placement reflecting their win-loss record, strength of schedule, and advanced metrics. The report includes analysis of playoff contenders, division races, and teams trending upward or downward as the season progresses toward the postseason push.
