2022 NFL power rankings, Week 13: Dolphins, Chiefs stay hot
6-5. Previous: . Seattle Seahawks. 12. team. 36.
Pete Carroll’s club had an extra week to prepare for the visiting Raiders. And things looked good early as Seattle picked off Derek Carr twice in the first quarter. However, the ‘Hawks’ shaky defense would wind up surrendering a whopping 576 total yards in four-plus quarters.
Las Vegas ran for 283 yards – most of that via running back Josh Jacobs. The Seahawks couldn’t protect a seven-point fourth-quarter lead and were gashed by Jacobs in overtime.
New York Jets. 11. team. 30. . 7-4. Previous:
Off another heartbreaking loss to the Patriots, the Jets hosted the struggling Bears. Zach Wilson was benched so Mike White became Robert Saleh’s third different starting quarterback this season and he came up very big.
New York gained 466 total yards as White connected on 22-of-28 throws for 315 yards and three touchdowns – two to rookie Garrett Wilson. The Jets also ran for 158 yards and played turnover-free football at rainy MetLife Stadium.
7-4. Previous: . San Francisco 49ers. 10. team. 42.
The 49ers looked to extend a three-game winning streak when they hosted the Saints. And this time around, Kyle Shanahan’s club not only didn’t give up a point in the second half but shut out New Orleans for four quarters.
The game belonged to the San Francisco defense, which limited the Saints to 260 total yards (63 on the ground) and came up with a pair of fumble recoveries.
