2022 NFL power rankings, Week 11: Vikings and Packers win OT thrillers
The Birds hosted the Commanders on Monday night in position to sweep the season series for the fifth time in six years. Jalen Hurts ran for one score and threw for another as Nick Sirianni’s team owned a 14-7 first-quarter lead.
But Washington roared back with 16 straight points and never gave up their advantage. By night’s end, the Eagles would commit a total of four turnovers – this after giving up the ball a combined three times during an 8-0 start.
Kirk Cousins threw a pair of first-half interceptions and Kevin O’Connell’s club was down 24-10 at the half. The deficit would grow to 17 points in the third quarter but the Vikings came roaring back. Dalvin Cook jumpstarted the comeback with an 81-yard TD run.
Justin Jefferson came up big with 10 catches for 193 yards and one score. And Patrick Peterson came up with a pair of end zone interceptions – the second in overtime to secure the victory.
Off their comeback overtime victory vs. Tennessee, Andy Reid’s club was home for a second straight Sunday and took on the Jaguars. The Chiefs opened up a 20-0 second-quarter lead via three touchdown passes from Patrick Mahomes.
Jacksonville would cut the deficit in half by the third quarter but Mahomes threw a fourth TD pass, this time to Travis Kelce. Reid’s team rolled up 486 total yards and was a crisp 7-of-10 on third down conversions.
