2022 NFL power rankings, Week 11: Vikings and Packers win OT thrillers
The Bills hosted the 7-1 Vikings and appeared to be on their way to a comfortable victory. Sean McDermott’s club took a 27-10 lead with 1:51 to play in the third quarter before things began to go awry.
Banged up Josh Allen threw for 330 yards and one score and ran six times for 84 yards. But he finished the game with three turnovers – including a fumbled snap that Minnesota recovered in the end zone for a TD and a pair of end zone interceptions.
The well-rested Cowboys made their way to Lambeau Field looking to extend Green Bay’s recent misery. In the second quarter, quarterback Dak Prescott threw a pair of first-half interceptions but also connected for two scores.
However, Dallas overcame a 14-7 deficit and took a 28-14 lead late in the third quarter. But the Cowboys’ defense wound up allowing 415 total yards and had no answers for Green Bay’s balanced attack in the overtime loss.
The NFC West leaders took a four-game winning streak to Munich, Germany, and faced the Buccaneers. But Pete Carroll’s club came out flat and found themselves down 14-0 at halftime.
The Seahawks would trail 21-3 in the fourth quarter before Geno Smith threw a pair of touchdown passes to narrow the gap to five points. But the story of the game was a Seattle offense that was on the field for just 23:05 and ran just 50 plays and gained 283 yards.
