2022 NFL power rankings, Week 14: 49ers roll, Colts flop
The Cowboys hosted the offensively-challenged Colts on Sunday night. And the club had its hands full for much of the evening as Mike McCarthy’s team owned just a two-point lead after three quarters.
However, running backs Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliot combined for 168 yards on the ground (3 TDs). Dak Prescott threw for three scores (1 interception). The Cowboys forced a total of five turnovers and outscored the Colts 33-0 in the final quarter.
A year ago, the Chiefs lost to the Bengals during the regular season at Cincinnati and the AFC title game at home. It was a rematch of the 2021 AFC Championship Game as the Chiefs took on the Bengals in the Queen City.
Andy Reid’s team rallied from a 14-3 deficit to take a 24-17 lead. Up by four points, tight end Travis Kelce lost a fumble after a reception and it would set up Cincinnati’s game-winning TD. Kansas City’s defense gave up 431 total yards.
It wasn’t long ago that Nick Sirianni’s club was licking its wounds after a Monday night home loss to Washington. Now the Eagles appear to be back on track and were extremely impressive in pushing around the Titans.
Jalen Hurts threw for 380 yards and three scores. Both A.J. Brown (119) and Devonta Smith (102) finished with more than 100 receiving yards and the former burned his former team for scores of 40 and 29 yards, respectively.
