2022 NFL power rankings, Week 16: 5 more teams clinch playoff spots
. 11-3. Previous: . Minnesota Vikings. 6. team. 60
The Vikings hosted the Colts on Saturday. A series of miscues by the offense and special teams as well as some questionable decision-making had the Purple Gang down 33-0 at halftime.
The Vikings came roaring back as Kirk Cousins survived seven sacks and two interceptions by throwing for 460 yards and four TDs. Greg Joseph’s 40-yard field goal in overtime capped off the greatest comeback in NFL history and gave the Vikings the NFC North title.
16. . 11-3. Previous: . Buffalo Bills. 5. team
The Bills hosted the Dolphins on Saturday night looking to avenge a 21-19 loss in Week 3. It was another down-to-the-wire affair, this time in snowy Orchard Park. Sean McDermott’s club owned a 21-13 lead at intermission but Miami responded with 13 straight points to take a 29-21 lead.
Josh Allen led the Bills to the final 11 points of the evening. The last three were courtesy of a Tyler Baas 25-yard field goal at the gun, capping off an 86-yard drive.
Kansas City Chiefs. 4. team. 124. . 11-3. Previous:
Andy Reid’s club could wrap up a seventh consecutive division title by simply beating the one-win Texans at Houston. But there was nothing simple about this game as the Chiefs turned over the ball two times. Still, Kansas City finished the afternoon with 502 total yards.
Patrick Mahomes threw for 336 yards and a pair of touchdown passes and ran for another score. Jerick McKinnon’s 26-yard TD run in overtime sealed the deal.
