2021 NFL power rankings, Week 10: Browns romp, Bills rocked
9. team. 123. . 6-2. Previous: . Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys brought a six-game winning streak into their interconference clash with the up-and-down Broncos. And the NFC East leaders looked flat and didn’t score their first points until there were less than five minutes left in the game.
Dan Quinn’s defense allowed the Broncos to run for 190 yards and allowed 407 total yards by game’s end. Dallas was limited to 78 yards rushing, was 5-for-13 on third-down conversions and 0-for-4 on fourth down.
16. . 5-3. Previous: . Buffalo Bills. 8. team
The AFC East leaders made their way south to Jacksonville and came away with a stunning loss. The Bills’ offense could not find the end zone and gained just 301 total yards. Quarterback Josh Allen felt the heat throughout the afternoon. He threw for 264 yards and ran for 50 more.
But he was also sacked four times, served up a pair of interceptions and lost a fumble. And those three turnovers almost matched Buffalo’s total (5) entering the game.
team. 13. . 5-3. Previous: . Los Angeles Chargers. 7
Brandon Staley’s club looked to avoid a third consecutive loss as the team clashed with the Eagles at Philadelphia. The Bolts trailed 10-7 at intermission and the NFL’s worst run defense allowed 115 yards in the first half. That number would grow to 176 yards.
But it wound up not mattering as Justin Herbert was sharp, hitting on 32 of his 38 throws for 356 yards and two TDs. Dustin Hopkins kicked the game-winning field goal with two seconds to play.
