2022 NFL power rankings, Week 13: Dolphins, Chiefs stay hot
The Ravens were looking for their fifth consecutive victory on Sunday when they visited Jacksonville. The game was delayed by weather and both clubs were limited to fewer than 200 yards of total offense in the first half.
Baltimore trailed 10-9 at intermission but owned a 19-10 advantage late in the fourth quarter. The Ravens would give up 18 points in the final 5:55. And Justin Tucker came up short on a 67-yard field goal on the final play of the game.
The AFC South leaders had won seven of their previous eight games entering Sunday’s clash at home with the Bengals. Mike Vrabel’s offense was shackled for most of the day, limited to three field goals and a touchdown when rookie wideout Treylon Burks recovered a Derrick Henry fumble in the end zone.
The workhorse running back was held to only 38 yards on 17 carries as Tennessee managed only 63 yards rushing by afternoon’s end.
The Bengals were on the road for the second consecutive week as they traveled to Nashville for a playoff rematch with the Titans. And the defending AFC champions came up with another impressive effort as they held off a Tennessee team that had won seven of its previous eight games.
Joe Burrow threw for 270 yards and one score and was sacked just once. And Cincinnati’s defense limited the Titans’ ground attack to 63 yards on 21 attempts.
