2022 NFL power rankings, Week 13: Dolphins, Chiefs stay hot
. 8-3. Previous: . Buffalo Bills. 6. team. 16
The Bills were at Ford Field for the second time in five days to face the Lions on Thanksgiving. It was a back-and-forth affair that came down to the closing moments. Tied at 25-all, it took Josh Allen 21 seconds to move the ball 48 yards on four plays.
Tyler Bass hit the deciding field goal from 45 yards out with two seconds to play. But pass-rusher Von Miller suffered a knee injury and he will be re-evaluated in 7-10 days (via NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport).
Previous: . Dallas Cowboys. 5. team. 123. . 8-3
The Cowboys hosted the Giants on Thanksgiving looking to sweep their NFC rivals for the second straight year. Quarterback Dak Prescott served up a pair of first-half interceptions and Dallas trailed after two quarter, 13-7.
But Mike McCarthy’s club also got 261 yards and two TD passes from Prescott. The Cowboys gained 430 total yards – 169 on the ground – and turned a six-point halftime deficit into a 28-13 lead midway through the fourth quarter.
Previous: . Minnesota Vikings. 4. team. 60. . 9-2
Kevin O’Connell’s club looked to bounce back from a 37-point home loss to Dallas when it hosted the Patriots on Thanksgiving evening. Minnesota trailed 23-16 early in the third quarter but Kene Nwangwu returned the ensuing kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown.
The Vikings fell behind, 26-23, later in the quarter. But Kirk Cousins and his receiving corps would be the difference. He overcame one interception by throwing for 299 yards and three TDs.
