Top 10 NFL Week 11 Takeaways
“That’s that Superman”
So far we for the “Justice League Eagles”, we got Devonta Smith as ‘Skinny Batman’, and AJ Brown as ‘Swole Batman’. After his performance yesterday, Saquon Barkley has now earned his nickname on the team — Superman. Coined by Eagles CB Darius Slay, He referred to Barkley as ‘Superman’ after punching in his second touchdown against the Washington Commanders, defeating them 26-18.
Tua and retire don’t go together!
Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa made a statement in his 34-19 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Throwing for 288 yards and 3 touchdowns on 78% passing, Tagovailoa proved that despite his previous injuries, football is still in his veins and that retirement was never a thought
New York Jets… seasons over… what’s next?
With that last bit of hope for a ‘successful’ season leaving this Sunday as the Jets lost 28-27 to the Indianapolis Colts, the question now remains… what is left of this season? Is this Aaron Rodgers’ final lap?
Let’s just pack it in on the last play!
As the Chicago Bears look to sneak out a win against their divisional rival Green Bay Packers, their last second field goal attempt was blocked… controversially. After replays surfaced the internet, it was clear as day that the long snapper was ‘touched’ (illegal — resulting in a penalty) as the Packers ‘blocked’ the game winning field goal. It’s clear that it was cold and the refs decided to pack it in and go home to hot chocolate and watch SNF.
DETROIT FOOTBALL HEAR THEM ROAR!!
Making a name for themselves as the team to beat in the NFC, the Detroit Lions steamrolled over the Jacksonville Jaguars in a 52-6 win that saw Jared Goff put on a MVP performance (412 yards, 4 touchdowns) after throwing 5 INTs the previous week.
“I SEA through the defense” – Geno Smith
The Seattle Seahawks eked out a win in this divisional rivalry against the San Francisco 49ers behind Smith’s ability to sneak past the 49ers defense and jet into the endzone for a 20-17 victory to make both teams 5-5 on the year.
Ravens can’t Steel ’round here!
Another divisional rivalry saw stifling defense get the job done as the Pittsburgh Steelers held Lamar ‘Action’ Jackson and his Baltimore Ravens to under 20 points in their 18-16 win. Russell Wilson is now 4-0 as a starting quarterback for the Steelers and they are sitting pretty atop the AFC East with a glossy 8-2 record.
DOWN GOES KANSAS CITY!
The most anticipated matchup of week 11 saw two of the best QBs in the league go head to head: Allen vs. Mahomes. The Bills made sure to seize home field advantage as they gave the Buffalo fans everything that had hoped for: Stop Patrick Mahomes, and Beat the Chiefs, serving Kansas City the first loss of the season as they remain undefeated (5-0) at home.
Los Angeles is Charged Up!
The Charges and Bengals gave us a Sunday night showdown between two hgih-powered offenses who know how to get into the endzone. As the teams went back and forth all throughout the game, it would be the Chargers who came out on top as they drove down the field 86 yards with 45 seconds left to play in the game, and J.K. Dobbins gets into the endzone with 18 seconds left to play. As the Bengals were unable to respond with such little time, Los Angeles now moves to the top of their division with a 7-3 record.
Houston… Dallas is in town… There is no problem!
The battle of Texas show little resistance in which team proved to be the top dog of the ‘Lone Star State’. Joe Mixon ran all over the Dallas defense as he collected 109 yards and 3 touchdowns without breaking a sweat. Houston would go on to beat Dallas 34-10 and improve their record to 7-4 on the season.
