2022 NFL power rankings, Week 15: Eagles clinch playoff spot
Last season’s top seed in the AFC has suddenly hit the skids. The defending AFC South champions dropped their third consecutive game on Sunday afternoon at home against the rival Jaguars.
Derrick Henry would carry 17 times for 121 yards and one score. He also lost a pair of fumbles and he and quarterback Ryan Tannehill each finished the day with a pair of turnovers. Tennessee’s defense surrendered 428 total yards and didn’t force a turnover.
Pete Carroll’s team has not been as sharp the last few weeks as it was earlier this season. Quarterback Geno Smith has become a little turnover prone as of late. The latter was part of the problem on Sunday at home against the improving Panthers.
He threw for three scores but was picked off twice. Seattle would allow 223 yards rushing on 46 tries. The slumping ‘Hawks have now dropped three of their last four contests after a surprising 6-3 start.
Thanks to a come-from-behind win over the Bills back in Week 9, the Jets were in position to sweep their AFC East rival for the first time since 2016. It was an ugly afternoon in Orchard Park as both teams dealt with the rain and wind.
Robert Saleh’s club was shut out in the first half and finished the game with 309 total yards, one touchdown and two turnovers. Quarterbacks Mike White (3) and Joe Flacco (1) were sacked a combined four times in the loss.
