Week 11 in the NFL was nothing short of spectacular, some underdogs won and some teams are still on fire. Let’s go through my three biggest takeaways from Sunday’s games and why they should or shouldn’t be worried about their season.
Great Cowboys or bad Vikings?
Are the Cowboys real contenders or are the Minnesota Vikings fake contenders? I believe it’s more of the Minnesota Vikings being fake contenders as the Vikings got blown out 40-3 at home in the 4 o’clock window on Sunday, the offensive line for Minnesota just couldn’t handle the Cowboys pass rush and it showed with Kirk Cousins having to rush throws and Cousins was sacked multiple times. Credit to the Cowboys though they did come in this game and really control the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.
NFC East fake contenders?
Are the NFC East full of fake contenders? Sort of, with the Philadelphia Eagles barely squeezing out a win against the helpless Indianapolis Colts. These Eagles should have won by more than a single point, including down double digits in the fourth quarter. The New York Giants also got blown out by the Detroit Lions at home by double digits and Daniel Jones reverted back to the player we all know he is. The Dallas Cowboys had an excellent win and nothing else has to be said for Dallas. The Washington Commanders blew out the helpless Houston Texans without Chase Young, including a massive defensive effort, including multiple interceptions and a defensive touchdown.
AFC contenders, Chiefs and….
Besides the Kansas City Chiefs, who are the top AFC contenders? Besides the Kansas City Chiefs who look to be the top team there doesn’t look to be a close second, with the Buffalo Bills struggling for the last month and other AFC teams having a massive hole in their rosters, the only team that can really give Kansas City trouble is the red hot Miami Dolphins who have arguably the best and most explosive offense.
