NFL power rankings: Eagles' win puts them back on top; Titans and Bengals emerge in top 10

The Kansas City Chiefs climbed bac to No. 2

The 2022 NFL season turns to Week 12 and the finish line is ever closer.

While some things have changed in this week’s power rankings, a lot has stayed the same. The Philadelphia Eagles are back on top with a close win over the Indianapolis Colts and have the league’s best record, while the Kansas City Chiefs moved up to No. 2 following their close win over the Los Angeles Chargers, and the Minnesota Vikings fell to No. 3 after getting blown out by the Dallas Cowboys.

The Tennessee Titans and Cincinnati Bengals are back in the top 10 after being on the outside looking in for a little while. Both teams are gaining momentum heading toward the end of the season.

Here’s how the rest of the rankings shake out with Thanksgiving around the corner.

Previous rank: 11

Week 11 result: 27-17 win over Packers

Week 12 matchup: Sunday vs. Bengals

Week 11 result: 31-23 win over Browns
