2022 NFL Power Rankings, Week 6: Giant surprise, Steelers demise
57. . 2-3. Previous: . Chicago Bears. 21. team
Matt Eberflus’ team made its way to the Twin Cities looking to surprise the Vikings. The Bears were overwhelmed early on and found themselves down 21-3 in the second quarter. Chicago would score the next 19 points of the game and took a 22-21 lead with less than 10 minutes to play.
But Eberflus’ defense couldn’t stop Minnesota from putting together a seven-minute drive that resulted in the game-winning TD and a third straight loss to the Vikings.
2-3. Previous: . Seattle Seahawks. 20. team. 36.
A week ago, the Seahawks outlasted the Lions in Detroit in a game that featured a combined 93 points. This time around, Pete Carroll’s club was on the short end of another shootout – this time at New Orleans.
It was another impressive outing by quarterback Geno Smith, who threw for 268 yards and three scores. Seattle owned a 32-31 lead midway through the fourth quarter but had zero answers for New Orleans’ jack of all trades Taysom Hill.
28. . 1-4. Previous: . Las Vegas Raiders. 19. team
The Silver and Black finally got into the win column last week with a win over the Broncos. Now the Raiders faced their third divisional foe in five weeks as they headed to Kansas City for a Monday night clash.
The team jumped out to a 17-0 lead but the Las Vegas defense had zero answers for Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. The Raiders inched within 30-29 in the fourth quarter and opted to take the lead on a two-point conversion that would fail.
