Week 11 was a low-scoring affair, as windy weather and tons of turnovers dominated this week of football. Of the games played during the early and late-afternoon slates, four winners failed to eclipse the 25-point mark, while only three teams scored 35 or more. Even so, ClutchPoints’ Week 12 NFL Power Rankings does have a few changes, even if the top team stayed the same.

It was far from a usual performance for the Los Angeles Rams, but their defense intercepted Sam Darnold four times to earn their eighth win of the year. Matthew Stafford found Davante Adams and Colby Parkinson for touchdowns, Kyren Williams ran for 91 yards and a score, and the defense held the Seahawks offense in check for most of the game, helping the Rams remain atop the Week 12 NFL Power Rankings.
The Indianapolis Colts returned stateside after their Week 11 international win, and their Week 12 bye comes at a great time. With Jonathan Taylor still shouldering a massive workload in the Colts’ offense, Indy will continue to count on their potential MVP candidate to continue to anchor their offense as they look to lock up the AFC South here in the next few weeks.
The New England Patriots helped kick off Week 12 with a win, as their Thursday Night primetime matchup against the New York Jets went their way. Drake Maye threw for 281 yards and a touchdown, but it was the TreVeyon Henderson show once again.

The pace of Sunday’s game played right into the hands of Philly, as they were able to slow things down and turn it into a run-fest, chewing up over 35 minutes of clock. Jason Hurts scored the only PHI touchdown in the win, and the defense stopped the DET offense (and special teams) five times on fourth down attempts in the win.
A massive, divisional win for the Denver Broncos helps keep them safely atop the AFC West, as they now sit at 9-2 after beating the Kansas City Chiefs, 22-19. A game-winning field goal from Wil Lutz pushed Denver across the finish line, as their defense kept the high-powered Kansas City offense quiet.
Bo Nix threw for 295 scoreless yards in the win, RJ Harvey didn’t do much as the lead back (only rushing for 30 yards), and rookie Pat Bryant led the...
