NFL Power Rankings Week 13: Broncos nosedive, Commanders streaking
By Randy Gurzi
22. Green Bay Packers
They fell behind 13-0 against the Eagles on Sunday Night Football but fought back to score the next 14. Before long, however, the Green Bay Packers were down 34-20 and continued to struggle with the Philly offense.
The one good thing that can be said about the Packers os they keep hanging with teams — and even stole one against Dallas. But that’s not enough and they’re now sitting at 4-8 with no hope of catching up in the North.
Aaron Rodgers has also been dealing with some injuries and Jordan Elliott ended up taking over. He played well and they might need to think about resting Rodgers for a whole to allow him to fully heal and see what Love can do.
21. Las Vegas Raiders
Josh Jacobs put the Las Vegas Raiders on his back and had the game of his life. The fourth-year running back had 33 carries for 229 yards with two touchdowns and another 74 yards on six receptions. His final touchdown came in overtime and it was his best play of the day.
A little more than halfway through the overtime period, Jacobs took a handoff 86 yards to the house, giving the Raiders the win.
It was a franchise record as well for rushing yards which is impressive considering some of the names that have played for the Raiders.
At 4-7, they’re not mathematically out of it but it’s going to be incredibly hard to do much more than prepare for 2023.
