2022 NFL power rankings, Week 10: Vikings running away in NFC North
For the second straight Sunday, the Dolphins outlasted an NFC North team on the road. Mike McDaniel’s club took on the Bears and there were plenty of points by both clubs. Down 10-7 in the second quarter, Miami took the lead for good.
Tyreek Hill scored on a three-yard grab and Andrew Van Ginkel returned a blocked punt by Jaelan Phillips 25 yards for a score. Tua Tagovailoa hit on 21-of-32 passes for 302 yards and three scores and was not sacked.
John Harbaugh’s team was in the Big Easy for the first time since 2014. It was 10 years ago in this building that the Ravens captured Super Bowl XLVII. This time it would be a Monday night clash with the Saints.
Baltimore owned a 14-3 lead at intermission and finished the night with 188 yards rushing. Veteran linebacker Justin Houston totaled 2.5 sacks and an interception of Andy Dalton as the Ravens’ defense limited the Saints to just 243 total yards.
The upstart Seahawks made their way to the desert in position to sweep the rival Cardinals for the first time since 2018. After trailing 14-10 in the third quarter, the Seattle offense really began to roll and Pete Carroll’s club outscored their hosts, 21-7, the rest of the way.
Quarterback Geno Smith threw for 275 yards and two scores, offsetting a pick six in the second half. And rookie running back Kenneth Walker ran for 109 yards and two TDs.
