2022 NFL power rankings, Week 12: Eagles rally, Jets stunned
5-5. Previous: . Los Angeles Chargers. 18. team. 13.
The Bolts were hoping to avenge a Week 2 loss at Arrowhead Stadium as they hosted the Chiefs in prime time. It was a back-and-forth affair and Brandon Staley’s club took a 27-23 lead with less than two minutes to play via a Justin Herbert TD pass to Josh Palmer.
But Patrick Mahomes would rally his team to a win. The Chargers have now dropped nine straight home games (San Diego, Mexico City and Los Angeles) in this rivalry dating back to ’14.
4-6. Previous: . Detroit Lions. 17. team. 50.
Off back-to-back wins over the Packers and Lions, the Lions hit the road and came up with an impressive win over the Giants. A balanced Detroit offense gained 160 yards on the ground and 165 through the air.
Jamaal Williams totaled 17 carries for 64 yards and three touchdowns. Jared Goff was not sacked. The Lions have won three straight games for the first time since 2017. And Detroit was the only team in the NFC North to win in Week 11.
Washington Commanders. 16. team. 58. . 6-5. Previous:
The Commanders were coming off a Monday night upset of the previously-undefeated Eagles at Philadelphia. Would there be a letdown when the team hit the road again and faced the Texans?
Less than two minutes into the game, Kendall Fuller picked off Houston quarterback Davis Mills and returned the prize 37 yards for a touchdown. Ron Rivera’s team opened up a 20-0 lead at halftime and limited the Texans to 148 total yards by game’s end.
