2022 NFL power rankings, Week 7: Giants and Falcons on the rise
Previous: . New York Giants. 6. team. 31. . 5-1
The club had already equaled their win total of the previous season and now hosted the dangerous Baltimore Ravens. Brian Daboll’s club would trail by 10 points in the fourth quarter.
Safety Julian Love wound up picking off Lamar Jackson with under three minutes to play, which would pave the way for a one-yard TD run by Saquon Barkley with 1:46 remaining which proved to be the game-winning score. It was the first interception by the Giants’ defense in 2022.
123. . 4-2. Previous: . Dallas Cowboys. 5. team
Mike McCarthy’s club had not only won its last four games, but the Dallas Cowboys took an eight-game winning streak vs. NFC East rivals into this Sunday night clash with the first-place Eagles. Dallas was down 20-0 late in the fourth quarter but the Cowboys would rally to make things interesting.
Early in the fourth quarter, McCarthy’s team trailed by only three points. But quarterback Cooper Rush would finish the night with one TD pass and three interceptions.
Previous: . Minnesota Vikings. 4. team. 60. . 5-1
After splitting their first two games, Kevin O’Connell’s club has suddenly put together a four-game winning streak. And their latest victory came on Sunday at Miami as the Purple Gang played turnover-free football while taking advantage of three Miami miscues – two of those in the fourth quarter.
Justin Jefferson finished with 107 receiving yards, the fourth time in six games he’s reached the century mark. The Vikings finished the game with six sacks.
