NFL Power Rankings: Eagles avoid NFC East cellar despite another loss

The Eagles avoid finishing in the 30s.

We’ve done everything that we could to convince ourselves that the Houston Texans aren’t as bad as we think they are, but it just isn’t true. It doesn’t feel like their best players care, and once Deshaun Watson is gone for good, unless you’re a fan, you’re going to realize that it’s an extremely difficult task to name more than five guys that play for this team if we tell you that you can’t use their starting quarterback.

What’s worse is it feels like there’s no real plan to make this team any better.

The Miami Dolphins entered the 2022 campaign as a squad that many thought may actually take the next step and, possibly, challenge the Buffalo Bills for the AFC East’s crown. Now, to some of you, the opposite is true. You believe that theory was a pipe dream before a down of their football was played.

The Dolphins don’t seem to believe in Tua Tagovailoa, and though some see them as the favorites to land Deshaun Watson, there are questions about how he might be disciplined by the league once said trade is complete.

Watson’s addition clearly upgrades Brian Flores’ team, but since he won’t be joining the team for Week 8’s game, the Fins are at 30.
