2022 NFL power rankings: Final regular season edition
10-7. Previous: . Baltimore Ravens. 12. team. 26.
John Harbaugh’s playoff-bound Ravens looked to sweep the Bengals. Anthony Brown was the team’s third different starting quarterback this season and he had his issues early on. The Baltimore defense actually limited to 257 total yards.
Harbaugh’s club did itself no favors with four turnovers, including a Brown fumble recovered in the end zone for a Bengals’ touchdown. The team meet once again this weekend in Cincinnati on Wild Card Weekend.
11. team. 50. . 9-8. Previous: . Detroit Lions
The Lions’ defense stifled Aaron Rodgers in the team’s first meeting back in Week 9 at Ford Field. Detroit could end the Packers’ season with a prime time win at Lambeau Field. The much-maligned Detroit defense kept Green Bay out of the end zone until late in the third quarter.
Rookie end Aidan Hutchinson had both sacks of Rodgers and the Lions forced the Packers into a pair of turnovers. Jamaal Williams ran for 72 yards and scored two touchdowns.
10. team. 31. . 9-7-1. Previous: . New York Giants
Brian Daboll trotted out Davis Webb and rested many of his starters as the playoff-bound Giants looked to surprise the Eagles at Philadelphia. New York’s defense bent but didn’t break most of the game as the Birds managed one touchdown and five field goals.
Down 19-0 in the third quarter, the Giants made the Eagles sweat a little when Kenny Golladay caught a 25-yard TD pass with 1:38 to play. It was a pretty solid effort from this well-coached club.
