2022 NFL Power Rankings Week 10: Jets climb into top 10, Packers, Rams disappear
By Randy Gurzi
22. Jacksonville Jaguars
Travis Etienne had a great outing for the Jacksonville Jaguars as he ran for 109 yards and two touchdowns in Week 9. More importantly, his play allowed the Jags to erase a 17-0 deficit against the Las Vegas Raiders and steal a win.
Trevor Lawrence also had a solid outing with 235 yards and a touchdown as he continues to look more comfortable under Doug Pederson. The defense also deserves credit as they shut the Raiders down in the second half.
They’re still just 3-6 but they’ve looked like a vastly different team than we saw in 2021 under Urban Meyer. It’s nice to see actual progress for this team after years of struggling. Of course, they now need to take that next step and eventually have a winning record.
21. Green Bay Packers
We keep waiting for Aaron Rodgers to turn things around but it’s not happening. This past weekend, he had three picks in the red zone and the Green Bay Packers managed just nine points in a 15-9 loss to the Detroit Lions.
Green Bay has dominated the series against the Lions and had five wins in a row before losing in Week 18 last season as Rodgers sat in the second half with the division wrapped up. The Packers are now 3-6 and are way behind the 7-1 Minnesota Vikings in the NFC North. They also have to make a huge run to catch any of the Wild Card contenders, and with how they looked this past weekend, that’s not likely to happen.
