Jets, Giants in Top 10?
NFL Power Rankings Entering Week 7 of the 2022 Season (Previous rank in brackets):
1. Invoice (2): Did you choose who to kill on the neutral field? Victory at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday Mapped the path to AFC’s No. 1 seed. QB Josh Allen is arguably league MVP in 6 weeks and there are already rumors that Buffalo could get better – Odell Beckham? Christian McCaffrey?S cast a sense of accountability and brotherhood that made Jordan Poyer (he wasn’t medically cleared to fly) endure the 15-hour drive to and from Kansas City, where he was 67 years old. Played all snaps. He charges outrageous Super Bowl favorites.
2. Eagles (1): Slotting the league’s only undefeated team as a 1A is a big blow, but Philadelphia is far beyond legal. Another second-quarter blitz crippled Dallas’ vaunted defense on Sunday night, and the Eagles (they say bye to Week 7) have at least a pretty smooth runway to 9-0. Beautifully balanced at every stage, the Allen element is the number one consideration that separates Philly from Buffalo, just as good as QB Jalen Hurts was.
3. Chief (3): Even without WR Tyreek Hill, they’re still the league’s top-scoring team.
4. Cowboy (5): There seems to be a pretty clear line of demarcation here, and Dallas is definitely heading for a second tier of clubs in a highly compressed and hyperbalanced league. But the pending return of QB Dak Prescott – assuming he can bolster the team’s recent winning formula – could propel the Cowboys into the top tier.

5. Vikings (7): They are one of four teams to win five. flimsy as their record might feelThe Minnesota players won’t win by more than a point in their four-game winning streak, so they’d better avoid a big head-bang goodbye.
6. Giants (8): They consistently pull wins off the jaws of defeat, overcoming double-digit leads to take three wins.
7. Ravens (4): They have consistently dragged losses off their winning chin, losing three games after surrendering a double-digit lead.
8. Bengals (11): Attention QB Joe Burrow and WR Ja’Marr Chase – Super Bowl 59 is in New Orleans and the duo dominated Sunday just as they won the 2020 College Football National Championship Game .
9. 49ers (6): Injuries could have reached critical mass for a team giving up 28 points in Atlanta. That’s more than double his 12.2 points San Francisco has allowed on average in his first five weeks.
10. Dolphin (12): Considering QB Tua Tagovailoa, who rarely targets tight ends, a lot of extra Griddy congratulations from Mike Gesicki should be spared. will be back this Sunday evening.
11. Patriots (15): Rookie QB Bailey Zappe’s role on the offense is getting bigger week by week, and even if a certain Mack Jones (ankle) is healthy enough to play, it seems unlikely he’ll get his job back anytime soon.

12. Jet (17): They went 1-2 and averaged over 50 passes per game against QB2 Joe Flacco. Since Zach Wilson’s return, the NYJ is 3-0 with him, but he hasn’t attempted half as many throws as Flacco. Conversely, the skyrocketing Jets are averaging 137.3 rushing yards for him during the streak, an improvement of more than 50 yards per week for him with Wilson in the lineup.
13. Charger (13): It’s good to have Dustin Hopkins, who seems to be the toughest kicker in the league. Monday night extra time win.
14. Packers (9): After suffering a surprise sweep at the hands of New York’s finest, you would think it would be a good time to get out of Wisconsin. 4 out of 6 lost.
15. Buccaneers (10): When QB Tom Brady takes Wednesday off and lacks the extra practice time to attend Robert Kraft’s wedding, even when the offense is (understandably? Can you broadcast the line?
16. The Rams (14): Opposite a bye in Week 7, LA will see seven O-line combinations in seven games as LT Joseph Nordboom suffers a season-ending Achilles tendon injury.
17. Falcons (20): They have $77.1 million in dead money in their salary cap this year, topping the league. Imagine how competitive this team will be when they can actually reinvest in their roster.
18. Titans (16): The release of WR Josh Gordon could mark the end of his career, considering Tennessee is a team that could really use some help in his position.
19. Seahawks (21): What a great start for rookie CB Tariq Uhren, who picked up four passes and recovered two fumbles in his last four games.
20. Colts (24): Carson Wentz still haunts them, finger injury probably means Indianapolis No second-round pick in exchange for Washington before next year’s draft.

21. Saints (19): Despite all the injuries and turnovers (a league-high 13, none on Sunday), New Orleans are just one game off the pace of the NFC South.
22. Cardinals (18): It should be quite a few days of intense research for QB Kyler Murray and Co. as Arizona prepares for Thursday’s night game.This will be WR DeAndre Hopkins’ 2022 debut and newly acquired WR Robbie Anderson Card Premier.
23. Jaguar (22): No. 1 pick Travon Walker hasn’t had a sack since Week 1, but has taken lethal rough penalties in his last two games, both of which he has lost.
24. Browns (23): QB2 Jacoby Brissett wasn’t supposed to kill this team during Deshawn Watson’s suspension, but he’s doing just that, committing five turnovers during Cleveland’s three-game spiral.
25. Steelers (30): Where is RB Nagy Harris? He was averaging over 98 yards as a rookie, but this season he’s dropped to 55.8 yards.
26. Raiders (25): It’s an important stretch for teams of 1-4 after saying goodbye. His next three opponents in Vegas are also of the sub-.500 variety.
27. Lions (26): They haven’t won in Dallas since 2011, but they may break out by drawing on the rusty Prescott.
28. Broncos (27): If you felt like you were force-fed into this train wreck of the team, you’re right. Monday’s loss has already come in his fourth primetime appearance for Denver. It tapers off as we go, but there are still London games, Sunday night games, and Christmas showcases.
29. Commander (31): The injured Wentz is not only 7-0 on Thursdays throughout his career, but is also 13-3 in games. No played on sunday. If Washington is lucky, he’ll be back in Philadelphia by Monday night’s date in Week 10. Philadelphia is the city that wants to “welcome” Wentz’s return.
30. Bears (28): His 238 rushing yards in Week 6 marked the most losses in 38 years. It’s been a season like that.
31. Texans (29): A productive bye week for Houston. I took Watson’s jersey from the street and controversial VP Jack Easterby outside the front office.
32. Panthers (32): Their first game after Roulet produced season lows in points (10) and yards (203), leading to Anderson’s disrespectful expulsion. next? Salty Brady and Bucks.
