NFL power rankings for Week 14: Bengals rising with new team on top

The AFC — and the North Division’s hard-charging Bengals — doesn’t offer much margin for error again.

13.New York Giants 7-4-1 (13)​

Five different players had sacks, including Azeez Ojulari’s that led to a fumble he also recovered. That takeaway set up Daniel Jones’ lone touchdown pass in a 20-20 tie against Washington, which has lost just once in its last eight games. Nearly automatic kicker Graham Gano missed a 58-yard field goal into the wind as time expired in overtime.

16. New York Jets 7-5 (16)​

One touchdown on six trips into the red zone and three conversions on 16 third downs weighed down all the positives in the loss to the Vikings. Garrett Wilson went off with eight catches for 162 yards, but a late fourth-and-goal throw went to Braxton Berrios and slipped through his fingers. Mike White’s 57 passes are too many for a supposedly run-based offense.

ESPN NFL Week 14 Power Rankings 2022​

12. New York Jets (7-5)​

Week 13 ranking: 11

We're No. 1 in... fourth quarter point differential.

The Jets have outscored opponents 94-40 -- an impressive plus-54 point margin. This is one of the key reasons for the team's 7-5 record, as strong finishes have proved critical in five of their victories. Reasons: Excellent defense (40 points is a league low), timely offense, sound coaching adjustments and good roster depth. -- Rich Cimini

14. New York Giants (7-4-1)​

Week 13 ranking: 13

We're No. 1 in... fumble recoveries.

Ok, so the Giants are actually tied for first in this category with the Cowboys, each with 11 fumble recoveries. But, man, it was tough to find something the Giants were the best at. Not surprisingly, eight of the 11 fumble recoveries have come in their seven wins. A ninth came in their tie to Washington. Cornerback Adoree' Jackson and safety Dane Belton are tied for the team lead with two fumble recoveries apiece. -- Jordan Raanan
