Week 13 in the NFL provided some interesting developments with familiar contenders flexing and other Super Bowl hopefuls hitting some snags. On the lower level, some le ser teams continued to get off the mat while others also-rans kept getting flattened.With Week 14 here, that means there are only five weeks left in Matt Martin Women Jersey the 2022 regular season. Playoff seeding and positions are on the line. On flip side, some teams are getting to closer to think more about 2023 free agency and the draft.Here's how all 32 teams stack up against each other in Sporting News' latest weekly look at the best, the average and the worst:MORE: 1. Philadelphia Eagles 11-1 (previous week: 1)The Eagles went back to their early-season dominance at home by ripping the Titans with plenty of Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. They can win offensively in so many ways and adjust week to week, with the defense always being a strong all-around backbone.2. Buffalo Bills 9-3 (4)The Bills also enjoyed a dominant get-right game on the road in New England to open Week 13 on Thursday night. Josh Allen looks more like himself and the running game and defense are finding their late 2021 form again.3. Dallas Cowboys 9-3 (5)The Cowboys started slowly against the Colts offensively and defensively but then took over with another dominant scoring performance backed by big plays to close things out and make it a rout. Dak Prescott is zoned in, his receivers are rolling and the running game is explosive. Dallas is the second-best team in its division and conference.4. Kansas City Chiefs 9-3 (2)The Chiefs couldn't figure out the Bengals in crunch time in another close game, making more critical mistakes. Their defense still can struggle with diverse attacks and the offense isn't so automatic at times with Patrick Mahomes. They slipped as Super Bowl favorites, but not by much.5. Minnesota Vikings 10-2 (6)The Vikings continue to be disrespected because they do have defensive i sues with an inconsistent yet sometimes explosive offense. It's true they tend to win a lot of close games, home or away, including the Jets' contest, but that's a testament to their tougher and Pat Lafontaine Women Jersey more confident mental makeup under rookie coach Kevin O'Connell.

San Francisco 49ers 8-4 (7)The 49ers made a statement against the Dolphins with new weapon Christian McCaffrey and the defense paving the way, giving them a big lift after venerable team leader and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo went down. They are still in strong shape for the playoffs via the NFC West title with rookie Brock Purdy, but another Super Bowl run is in a bit of a trouble.7. Cincinnati Bengals 8-4 (8)The Bengals are finding their offensive groove with Joe Burrow and most of his weapons in tow again with Joe Mixon on his way back by next week. But the underrated defense continues to be clutch in key situations, led by Trey Hendrickson.8. Miami Dolphins 8-4 (3)The Dolphins deserve to dip with a limited offensive performance and more defensive woes against a 49ers team lost its veteran starting QB early. The road lo s was expected, but the way in which happened suggests the Dolphins belong in the playoffs as only a AFC wild-card team behind the Bills.9. Baltimore Ravens 8-4 (10)The Ravens had another rough offensive game against the Broncos' tough defense but were saved late by ace backup QB Tyler Huntley, who was an effective sub for Lamar Jackson last season. They can be thankful their own dominant defense is coming together at the right time to be huge.10. New York Giants 7-4-1 (11)The Giants played a weird game of attrition against the Commanders, and they were fit to be tied with cautious offense and limited play-calling in relation to their weapons around Daniel Jones with the defense struggling. It wasn't the worst idea to preserve playoff position ahead of a Week 15 rematch. Getty Images 11. Washington Commanders 7-5-1 (12) Cal Clutterbuck Women Jersey The Commanders also should be happy with the tie against the Giants that helped keep them ahead of the Seahawks, knowing they got that result on the road with the rematch in Washington happening again after their bye. Taylor Heinicke, the running game and the defense are giving them just enough.12. Tenne see Titans 7-5 (9)The Titans cannot win any shootouts when a team goes ahead of them with the downfield pa sing game. They are build to run the ball with Derrick Henry and play grinding, physical situational defense. They are winning the AFC South again, but they are limping into the playoffs in their current state.13. Seattle Seahawks 7-5 (15)The Seahawks were pushed again until the end by the Rams in Los Angeles, but they dug deep with Geno Smith without their running game at full strength minus Kenneth Walker to get a key rebound victory that keeps them right in the wild-card hunt behind the still NFC West favorite 49es.14. New York Jets 7-5 (13)The Jets tried to find some Mike White magic in Minnesota for a miracle win over the Vikings, but they came up short with firepower and clean football on both sides of the ball for Robert Saleh. They're still learning how to win as they win more.15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 6-6 (17)The Buccaneers rallied with the GOAT to get back to .500 Dustin Tokarski Jersey and create some cushion in the weak NFC South on Monday night at home against the Saints. The defense is finding a few answers, but they need more consistency and reliability around Tom Brady offensively, stat, again. (Getty) 16. Los Angeles Chargers 6-6 (14)The Chargers bolted out to an impre sive start against the Raiders but then saw their run defense i sue rear its ugly head. There's simply been too much put on Justin Herbert, Austin Ekeler and now Keenan Allen again to win games.17. New England Patriots 6-6 (16)The Patriots tried to operate smooth offense again with Mac Jones, but given his receivers, there's not much there when Rhamondre Stevenson is contained out of the backfield. The defense is falling apart in key spots for Bill Belichick, too.18. Atlanta Falcons 5-8 (18)The Falcons have overachieved already just to stay in the NFC playoff race but their defensive and pa sing game limitations keep hurting them in to sup games. They need to make a QB change to Desmond Ridder soon to see what they have there.19. Las Vegas Raiders 5 Dennis Seidenberg Jersey -7 (20)The Raiders got out of close-game comeback mode and instead played enough defense against the Chargers and rode more of Josh Jacobs to facilitate big production from Derek Carr and Davante Adams. They can keep lamenting what could have been if they weren't so bad so early in the season.20. Cleveland Browns 5-7 (21)What was that? Deshaun Watson returned and while he str
