Welcome to the Week 11 grades!
It’s showdown Sunday in the NFL. The first big game came during the early slate with the Buccaneers traveling to Buffalo for a huge matchup with the Bills and the game actually lived up to the hype. The Bills escaped with a 44-32 win — a SCORIGAMI — thanks in large part to a super human performance from Josh Allen.
- The Bills QB threw for three touchdowns and ran for three touchdowns.
- Although the Bills won by 12 points, there were nine lead changes, which is tied for the second-most in a game in NFL history
- Allen now has 75 rushing touchdowns in his career, which is tied with Cam Newton for the most in NFL history by a QB.
In another early showdown, the Jaguars handed Jim Harbaugh the worst loss of his NFL career by beating the Chargers, 35-6.
In late afternoon games, the Denver Broncos delivered a gut punch to the Chiefs’ division title chances by knocking off Kansas City, 22-19. The biggest difference between the two teams is that the Broncos have been clutch this year and the Chiefs haven’t.
- The Broncos are 7-2 in one-score games, which is the most wins by any team in the NFL this year.
- The Chiefs are 0-5 in one-score games, which is the worst record in the league. It’s also surprising when you consider that Kansas City went 12-0 in one-score games last year.
The Los Angeles Rams also picked up a huge victory with a 21-19 win over the Seattle Seahawks. In the Sunday night game, the Eagles capped off the day of showdowns with a dominant 16-9 win over the Lions.
So what kind of grade do you get when you hold one of the best offenses in the NFL to under 10 points? Let’s get to the grades, starting with Philly’s win over Detroit.
