NFL Week 14 Power Rankings 2022: 1-32 poll, best team stats
3:30 AM PT
NFL Nation reporters
Welcome to Week 14 of the NFL regular season.

Our power panel -- a group of more than 80 writers, editors and TV personalities -- has evaluated how teams are stacking up through 13 weeks.

There were very slight movements in the rankings this week. A new No. 1 pick has been named after the Kansas City Chiefs fell to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Plus, an unlikely Pittsburgh Steelers team climbs in the poll.

In addition to our updated rankings, we checked in with NFL Nation reporters across the league and asked them to name a stat in which each team ranks No. 1. Some teams excel in rush defense and others shine in scoring, and some are No. 1 in metrics they probably don't want to be the best in.

Now let's take a look at the updated rankings.

17. Los Angeles Chargers (6-6)

Week 13 ranking: 17

We're No. 1 in ... yards allowed per carry.

This isn't exactly the category you want to be ranked No. 1 in -- allowing a league-worst 5.4 yards per carry. But after 13 weeks and despite a significant overhaul to their defensive front, that's where the Bolts stand. It hasn't helped that several key defensive players have been sidelined this season, including Joey Bosa, Austin Johnson, Christian Covington and Otito Ogbonnia. Head coach Brandon Staley has emphasized that it takes all 11 defensive players to stop the run. "Run defense is a team operation," he said. -- Lindsey Thiry

#Chargers defense is allowing 5.53 yards per carry on designed rushes this season.

That is the worst average for any defense since 2000, according to
@TruMediaSports
734th out of 734.

That and much, much more in this week's Final Thoughts:

Justin Herbert deserved his praise for Sunday's game-winning drive, but the Chargers defense also delivered a perfect fourth quarter.

(for a little context, TruMediaSports' data goes back to...2000; in other words, not only is the Chargers' run defense the worst this century, it could possibly be one of the very worst ever).
