Listeners, Week 11 in the NFL has brought fans an exciting mix of drama, statistical milestones, and some historic headlines. The international series wrapped up in Madrid where the Dolphins faced off against the Commanders. Meanwhile, standout games for playoff implications include the battle between Baker Mayfield’s Buccaneers and Josh Allen’s Bills in Buffalo, plus an NFC West showdown of 7-2 teams as the Seahawks took on the Rams, and a Sunday night heavyweight clash between the Lions and the Eagles, according to ESPN.
Die-hard NFL fans will want to pay close attention to advanced stats and trends emerging this week. On Sunday, Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba etched his name into franchise history by surpassing 1,000 receiving yards in just nine games, breaking a long-standing Seattle mark. On the other side of the ball, the Rams’ defensive tackle Kobie Turner was expected to feast due to injuries in the Seahawks’ interior offensive line, as noted by ESPN. And Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has been evaluated as decisive and dynamic in his recent performances, handling protections and executing explosive pass plays, with his team favored by both analytics and betting odds at home.
For listeners tracking the AFC North, the Bengals—coming off three straight games averaging over 37 points—look to keep their momentum against the Steelers. Cincy is relying on the rookie guard duo of Dylan Fairchild and Jalen Rivers to handle league-leading pass rusher Nick Herbig of Pittsburgh. Bengals running back Chase Brown ran for 108 yards in their last matchup and is the key to unlocking Joe Flacco’s quick-release passing attack. Expect the Steelers to try to clamp down on Brown and tighten up coverage on Bengals star Ja’Marr Chase, who is hoping to score in his fourth straight contest versus Pittsburgh—something not seen since Carl Pickens did it in the ‘90s.
In other news, the Chiefs travel to Denver facing a suddenly surging Broncos squad, with their own superstar defensive tackle Chris Jones slow to get started this season, tallying only two sacks so far but not causing alarm inside the organization.
Political news also shaped the NFL landscape this week. CBS News reports that President Trump became the first sitting president in nearly fifty years to attend an NFL regular-season game, as he watched the Washington Commanders play the Detroit Lions. The stadium in Washington buzzed with a mixture of cheers and criticism, and Trump used the occasion to discuss his own history playing football, stadium developments in DC, and his well-documented clashes with the league over player protests. Trump also became the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl while in office and is now involved in discussions about naming the Commanders’ future stadium, part of a $4 billion redevelopment project.
On the injury front, NFL.com highlights that Falcons receiver Drake London is expected to play against the Panthers this week after dealing with a minor issue, key for Atlanta as London ranks among the league’s top wideouts since Week 4. The Panthers defense, which plays zone coverage on over 84 percent of snaps, will face a top test with Atlanta’s explosive passing.
Listeners looking for upset picks and sleeper fantasy advice have plenty of nuggets for Week 11. NFL analysts spotlight the Patriots' Thursday night victory over the Jets and suggest keeping an eye on Rams tight end Tyler Higbee and the Jaguars' Travis Etienne as betting and fantasy favorites.
For advanced analysis, NFL.com and Sports Illustrated both point to the NFC as the conference to watch, with the Lions, Eagles, Rams, and Seahawks all vying for playoff positioning and showing off highly efficient offenses. Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated focuses on whether Tampa Bay or Buffalo can emerge as legitimate contenders and highlights quarterback matchups as a key driver of late-season momentum.
