NFL Week 11 Recap

NFL Week 11 Recap

Fred Tang, Staff Writer

Week 11 was fun to watch and was a competitive set of matches.  Important victories this week were: Saints @ Panthers (20-23), Cardinals @ Vikings (24-30), Bills @ Bengals (16-12), Buccaneers @ Chiefs (19-17), Jaguars @ Lions (19-26), Dolphins @ Rams (14-10), Eagles @ Seahawks (15-26), and Packers @ Redskins (24-42).

Week 11 was a showcase performance for most offensive players.  Kirk Cousins (Redskins), Aaron Rodgers (Packers), Jameis Winston (Buccaneers), and Dak Prescott (Cowboys) all threw for more than 300 yards, with Cousins, Rodgers, and Prescott throwing for three touchdowns as well.  Robert Kelley (Redskins) rushed for 137 yards while also recording three total touchdowns, likely solidifying his role as the main running back in the Redskins offense.  Pierre Garcon (Redskins) recorded 116 receiving yards and a touchdown in an impressive performance.  Bobby Wagner (Seahawks) continued his defensive campaign with 15 tackles against the Eagles.  A huge slate of injuries marred Week 11.  AJ Green (Bengals, hamstring), Giovani Bernard (Bengals, ACL), LeSean McCoy (Bills, thumb), CJ Prosise (Seahawks, shoulder), Andrew Luck (Colts, concussion), Luke Kuechly (Panthers, concussion), Ryan Matthews (Eagles, MCL), Darren Sproles (Eagles, ribs), Zach Miller (Bears, foot), and Robert Woods (Bills, knee) are all questionable for action in Week 12.

Week 12 is Thanksgiving week!  Many divisional races are on the line as well.  The teams are on bye this week.  The Thanksgiving slate is Vikings @ Lions, Redskins @ Cowboys, and Steelers @ Colts. The Packers visit the Eagles on Monday night.  Important Sunday matchups include: Rams @ Saints, Cardinals @ Falcons, Chargers @ Texans, Jaguars @ Bills, Bengals @ Ravens, Seahawks @ Buccaneers, Patriots @ Jets, Panthers @ Raiders, and Chiefs @ Broncos.
