NFL power rankings: Detroit Lions slip after flashback to ugly defense

NFL power rankings entering Week 17 of 2022 season (previous rank in parentheses):

1. Eagles (1): Since sacks became an official statistic in 1982, no team had had at least six in four consecutive games ... until now. If Philadelphia can extend its streak to six weeks, it will overtake the 1984 Bears (72) for the most sacks by one team in a season. And if DE Brandon Graham adds one to his personal total, four Iggles will be in double digits. Makes getting by in the short term without injured QB Jalen Hurts a bit easier.
