2022 NFL power rankings, Week 18: Giants, Buccaneers playoff bound
123. . 12-4. Previous: . Dallas Cowboys. 6. team
Mike McCarthy’s club would be down the team’s top ground gainer when they took on the Titans at Nashville in prime time. Quarterback Dak Prescott had another erratic performance, committing three turnovers (albeit one being an interception off a deflection).
The Cowboys were limited to only 87 yards rushing sans Tony Pollard but Ezekiel Elliott ran for one score. Dalton Schultz caught a pair of TD passes from Prescott, who threw for 282 yards.
16. . 12-3. Previous: . Buffalo Bills. 5. team
On Monday night at Cincinnati, Buffalo Bills’ strong safety Damar Hamlin tackled Bengals’ wide receiver Tee Higgins, got to his feet and then collapsed on the field. He suffered cardiac arrest and had his heartbeat restored but would be transported to a local hospital. As of this writing, he remained in critical condition.
The game was postponed and on Tuesday afternoon, the NFL announced that the contest would not be resumed this week.
13-3. Previous: . Kansas City Chiefs. 4. team. 124.
The AFC West champions looked to remain unbeaten within the division this season when they hosted the Broncos. The Chiefs made it 15 consecutive victories in the series but it wasn’t easy. Patrick Mahomes threw for 328 yards and three scores (2 to Kadarius Toney) but each of those players committed a turnover.
Andy Reid’s club trailed 17-13 in the third quarter but rallied for the team’s 10th straight divisional victory dating back to 2021.
