2022 NFL power rankings, Week 10: Vikings running away in NFC North
Brandon Staley’s team looked a little sluggish early on as the Chargers eventually found their rhythm and pulled out a victory at Atlanta.
Down 10-0 after 15 minutes of play, running back Austin Ekeler ran for one score and caught a touchdown pass and the club took a 14-10 lead at intermission. Justin Herbert threw for 245 yards and one score (1 interception). Cameron Dicker connected on a 37-yard field goal on the final play of the contest.
Matt Eberflus’ team hosted the Dolphins looking to get back on the winning track. Both teams came up with their share of big plays and Bears’ quarterback Justin Fields spent the day weaving his way through the Miami defense.
He ran 14 times for 178 yards and one score and threw for 123 yards and three TDs. But Eberflus’ defense had no answers for the Dolphins’ passing game. The Bears have allowed a combined 84 points in their last two games.
For the fourth time in three seasons, the Buccaneers and Rams clashed in what was also a playoff rematch from a year ago. Tom Brady and the Tampa offense continued to have its issues and Todd Bowles’ club was limited to three field goals for 59-plus minutes.
But the veteran signal-caller came up with a late score via a six-play, 60-yard scoring drive that took 35 seconds. Brady’s one-yard TD to Cade Otton with 12 seconds left was the difference.
