2022 NFL power rankings, Week 8: Buccaneers and Packers held at bay
Previous: . Miami Dolphins. 12. team. 59. . 4-3
The team looked to snap a three-game losing streak when they hosted the Steelers in prime time. Miami owned a 13-0 first-quarter lead as quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and the offense got off to a fast start.
But when it was all said and done, a Dolphins’ team that had picked off just one pass and forced only four turnovers in their first six games intercepted Steelers’ rookie Kenny Pickett three times – twice in the fourth quarter – as Miami held on for the win.
26. . 4-3. Previous: . Baltimore Ravens. 11. team
John Harbaugh’s club renewed its rivalry with the Cleveland Browns at home on Sunday. Ravens’ quarterback Lamar Jackson would finish the day with just 120 yards through the air, hitting on nine of his 16 attempts.
The key offensive performer of the afternoon was Gus Edwards, who missed all of 2021 with a torn ACL. He totaled 16 carries for 66 yards and two touchdowns while dependable Justin Tucker added field goals of 32, 34 and 55 yards.
. 4-3. Previous: . Seattle Seahawks. 10. team. 36
The improving Seahawks headed south for the first of their two appearances at SoFi Stadium as they took on the talented Chargers. And quarterback Geno Smith continued his amazing season, with a little help from rookie running back Kenneth Walker.
The latter ran for 168 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Smith did turn over the ball twice but also threw for 210 yards and two TDs. The Seattle defense limited the Bolts to just 53 yards rushing.
