2022 NFL power rankings, Week 10: Vikings running away in NFC North
3-5. Previous: . Los Angeles Rams. 21. team. 51.
The defending Super Bowl champions have struggled and were in Tampa to take on the Buccaneers looking to solve their recent issues. But quarterback Matthew Stafford failed to complete half of his passes (13-of-27) and was sacked four times.
The Rams ran 24 times for 68 yards and the club finished with 206 total yards. The Rams’ defense allowed the Bucs to march 60 yards in six plays in only 35 seconds to hand Sean McVay’s club the loss.
. 3-6. Previous: . Arizona Cardinals. 20. team. 32
The Cardinals were coming off loss at Minnesota and looked to avoid being swept by the rival Seahawks for the first time since 2018. Kyler Murray hit DeAndre Hopkins for a 22-yard score to give Arizona a 7-3 first-quarter lead.
The Cardinals’ quarterback finished with just 175 yards through the air. But he was sacked four times and lost one of his two fumbles. And Arizona’s disappointing defense gave up 421 total yards in another divisional loss.
19. team. 58. . 4-5. Previous: . Washington Commanders
The Commanders were riding a three-game win streak as they hosted the NFC North-leading Vikings. And the Washington defense did its job for most of the afternoon as Ron Rivera’s club owned a 17-7 fourth-quarter lead.
But the Vikings would score the final 13 points of the game. The Commanders limited Minnesota to just 56 yards on the ground but couldn’t slow down Kirk Cousins and the Vikings’ passing attack when it counted most.
