NFL Power Rankings Week 13: Broncos nosedive, Commanders streaking
By Randy Gurzi
2. Philadelphia Eagles
They still own the best record in the NFL at 10-1 after handing the Green Bay Packers their eighth loss of the season, but the Philadelphia Eagles have also shown they have some areas to clean up. They made it hard on themselves in Week 11 against the Colts — and lost to the Commanders the week prior.
Against Green Bay, they started out with a two-touchdown lead but then let them right back in it in the first half.
This isn’t to say they’re headed in the wrong direction because they’re not. This is the most complete team in the NFC and when they get hot, they can beat anyone.
1. Kansas City Chiefs
Entering Week 13, the Kansas City Chiefs continue to stand atop our 2022 NFL Power Rankings. They hosted the Los Angeles Rams this weekend, as they were without Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp, and made it look easy with a 26-10 win.
Patrick Mahomes had 320 yards passing and they got the ground game moving with Isiah Pacheco gaining 69 yards and a touchdown. Defensively, they continued to pressure the opposing quarterback as they had three sacks and two picks.
Entering the season, they were the favorites in the AFC West but there were supposed to be serious contenders with the Chargers, Broncos, and Raiders all making big moves to acquire superstars in the offseason. The Chiefs, on the other hand, traded one of theirs away but still look better now than they did at this point a year ago.
