Week 11 NFL power rankings: Does chaos ensue with Eagles, Bills and Cowboys losing?

Spoiler!

NFL power rankings entering Week 11 of 2022 season (previous rank in parentheses):

1. Eagles (1): Unsurprisingly, they're mortal and will pose no threat to the still-unbeaten 1972 Dolphins. But amid a season that feels high on drama but low on greatness, they retain top spot almost by default – especially since the University of Georgia is ineligible for these rankings. Yet Monday's setback to Washington did seem a touch fluky, Philadelphia turning the ball over four times after entering Week 10 with three giveaways on the season while also getting victimized by some shaky officiating. And a keepaway strategy and domination of time of possession almost always works ... even when you average 4.1 yards per play, as the Commanders did while holding the ball for more than 40 minutes.

2. Vikings (7): The average margin of victory during their seven-game win streak is 5.1 points, all of those triumphs coming by one score. But when you've got a clean-up hitter like WR Justin Jefferson and a closer like CB Patrick Peterson, who cares about style points?

3. Bills (2): It's not every week that you'll get torched by a receiver of Jefferson's caliber. But Buffalo's secondary has to be a concern given the uncertainty that remains around injured CB Tre'Davious White and the ongoing injury issues at a safety position that had been the unit's strength.

4. Chiefs (3): The rich may be getting filthy rich as newly acquired WR Kadarius Toney's role in the offense expands. A first-round pick of the Giants last year, he notched his first NFL TD on Sunday while racking up 90 yards from scrimmage.

5. Dolphins (5): Look who's suddenly atop the AFC East. Miami is undefeated in contests started and finished by QB Tua Tagovailoa. The run game is also gaining steam behind recently obtained RB Jeff Wilson and fellow former 49er Raheem Mostert – the duo combining for 184 yards Sunday.

AFC West:

16. Chargers (15): No one's chucking it more times per game (42.9) than QB Justin Herbert. But the efficiency and production just aren't there when your O-line is in constant flux and your top two wideouts are in street clothes.

30. Raiders (27): Does it get much worse than QB Derek Carr in post-game tears while wearing Fresno State gear instead of his signature black?

31. Broncos (28): Defense wins championships? Denver has allowed the fewest points in the NFL ... but also scored the fewest. That means 3-6 in the modern NFL.
