2022 NFL power rankings, Week 12: Eagles rally, Jets stunned
. 7-3. Previous: . Buffalo Bills. 9. team. 16
A blizzard in Buffalo saw the NFL relocate the Browns/Bills game to Detroit. And Sean McDermott’s club was looking to rebound from back-to-back losses. Quarterback Josh Allen had committed seven turnovers in his previous three games entering this clash.
But Buffalo did not give up the football in their eight-point win and dominated Cleveland on the ground. McDermott’s club totaled 33 attempts for 171 yards on the ground.
. 6-4. Previous: . Seattle Seahawks. 8. team. 36
Some felt that the franchise was in rebuilding mode off a last-place finish. The Seahawks dealt quarterback Russell Wilson to Denver this offseason. But who would have thought that after 10 games that Pete Carroll’s club would have twice as many wins as the Broncos?
Geno Smith is having a career year, rookie running back Kenneth Walker III has been superb and the ‘Hawks have been opportunistic. Seattle plays five of its final seven games at home.
Previous: . Dallas Cowboys. 7. team. 123. . 7-3
Dallas looked to rebound from last week’s overtime loss at Green Bay which saw the club squander a 14-point lead. But there would be no such concerns on Sunday at Minnesota as Mike McCarthy’s team humbled the NFC North frontrunners.
The defense sacked Vikings’ quarterback Kirk Cousins. Running back Tony Pollard touched the ball 21 times and gained 189 yards from scrimmage while scoring twice. Dallas rolled up 458 yards of total offense.
