2020 NFL power rankings, Week 12: Titans and Colts win in OT
Off a surprising loss to the Patriots at Foxborough, the Ravens returned home to face the Titans in a playoff rematch from a year ago. For the second consecutive week, John Harbaugh’s club lost by six points and allowed exactly 173 yards on the ground.
All told, Baltimore’s shaky defense surrendered 423 total yards and failed to protect a 21-10 third-quarter lead. Lamar Jackson and the Ravens’ offensive unit was limited to 306 total yards.
Riding a five-game winning streak, Brian Flores’ Dolphins hit the road as the team made its first appearance in Denver since 2014. Rookie Tua Tagovaiola had a rough afternoon and was eventually benched (via ESPN’s Cameron Wolfe) after throwing for just 83 yards and a score and being sacked six times.
The bigger issue for Brian Flores’ team was a defense that failed to come up with a sack and also surrendered a whopping 189 yards on the ground.
Off a thrilling win over the Bills, the Cardinals made their way to the Pacific Northwest in position to sweep the Seahawks for the first time since 2009.
Arizona’s top-ranked ground attack managed only 57 yards and the league’s top offense totaled only 314 total yards. Cardinals’ defenders got a big dose of the Seattle ground game, hampered by injuries for the majority of the year. The ‘Hawks ran for 165 yards on 31 attempts.
