New NFL Power Rankings with the Cards winning in brilliant fashion
NFL Week 10 brought us some interesting games once again, including some fantastic finishes. One of the better endings came in Glendale as the Arizona Cardinals stole a victory from the Buffalo Bills, right after Josh Allen thought he threw a game-winning touchdown to Stefon Diggs.
Arizona responded with a quick drive and a “Hail Murray” pass from Kyler Murray to DeAndre Hopkins for the win. The pass was unlike other Hail Mary throws as Hopkins was on his own, rather than in a bunch, and still managed to rip the ball away from three defenders.
Detroit also had a late win as Matt Prater knocked in a 59-yard field goal as time expired while his Lions snatched a victory away from Alex Smith and the Washington Football Team.
Another game that was of interest was between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals. Following a close call against Dallas last week, the Steelers came out re-focused and remained undefeated with a lopsided win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
These games and more make an impact on our Week 11 version of the 2020 NFL Power Rankings ‚— although, there is no change at No. 32.
2020 NFL power rankings heading into Week 11
Coming in at No. 32 once again, it’s the New York Jets. What’s crazy here is, they nearly messed everything up last weekend on a Monday Night Football contest with the New England Patriots. Despite being down to Joe Flacco again under center, the Jets were in control for much of the night against New England and they even took a 27-17 lead into the fourth quarter. That’s when things fell apart.
A 29-yard field goal from former New York kicker Nick Folk got the ball rolling as they closed the gap to seven. Cam Newton then ran in a touchdown with just under two minutes to go for the tie and then as the clock expired, Folk hit the dagger as he knocked in a 51-yarder to win the game.
New York is now 0-9 but they still control the No. 1 seed — and while it’s frustrating to keep losing, they would have jeopardized their slot in the draft with a win, and it would have done nothing more than that.
It’s clear that this team needs a complete overhaul, which starts with the coaching staff. Adam Gase isn’t winning these players over anytime soon and it would be a shock to see them pull out any wins at this point.
