NFL Week 11 Roundup: Patriots vs. Jets

New England opened the week with a solid performance, allowing them to extend their winning streak and notch their eighth consecutive victory after beating the New York Jets 27-14. Rookie TreVeyon Henderson was the offensive star: in addition to gaining 62 rushing yards, he contributed two rushing touchdowns and another touchdown reception, becoming the driving force of the offense in the absence of Rhamondre Stevenson, who missed his third consecutive game due to injury.

Drake Maye once again showed his maturity by completing 25 of 34 passes for 281 yards and one touchdown, supported by an unstoppable Stefon Diggs, who racked up 105 yards on nine receptions. With this result, the Patriots climbed to a 9-2 record, matching their best streak since Tom Brady’s last season in 2019 and marking their best divisional start in years.

While the rest of the league waits for its turn this weekend, New England already boasts the best record in the NFL under coach Mike Vrabel. The Jets, meanwhile, once again showed offensive inconsistencies and were never able to match the strength of a Patriots team that has already secured a winning season for the first time since 2021.

Result: Patriots 27–14 Jets

NFL Week 11 Roundup: Dolphins vs. Washington

The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium was the scene of a historic moment: the first official NFL game on Spanish soil, where the Miami Dolphins defeated Washington 16-13 in overtime. Although the score was modest, the 78,610 fans witnessed a unique spectacle, full of atmosphere, drama, and a finale worthy of a memorable day.

The game was marked by a lack of touchdowns in the first half, with both teams only able to score through field goals. The defenses dominated, and both Tua Tagovailoa and Marcus Mariota dealt with constant pressure, reflecting two offenses hampered by injuries and a lack of rhythm. Washington seemed to wake up when Deebo Samuel found space for an explosive run that momentarily tipped the balance.

However, Miami responded in the fourth quarter with a one-yard carry by Gordon II that tied the game. From there, the game descended into chaos: Washington squandered a clear opportunity by missing a field goal for the win, and the Dolphins returned the favor by failing to capitalize on a turnover in enemy territory. The game went into overtime, where an interception by Jack Jones put Miami in an unbeatable position to close out the game.

Tua orchestrated a brief but impactful drive that set up Riley Patterson to successfully convert the game-winning field goal. This win marked a historic moment for Miami and kept their playoff hopes alive. Meanwhile, Washington, despite practicing on the Valdebebas turf all week, was unable to capitalize on the opportunity.

Result: Dolphins 16–13 Washington

NFL Week 11 Roundup: Steelers vs. Bengals

Pittsburgh secured an important victory by beating the Bengals 34-12 thanks to an unexpected contribution from Mason Rudolph, who entered the field after Aaron Rodgers was injured just before halftime. The 41-year-old veteran quarterback suffered a blow to his left hand after receiving two penalties for roughing the passer, forcing him to leave the game.

Rudolph responded calmly and effectively, completing 12 of 16 passes for 127 yards, including a touchdown pass to Kenny Gainwell that sealed the game in the final stretch. Although both defenses had been among the weakest in the league, the Steelers managed to adjust in the second half and were the ones who finally broke the deadlock.

Joe Flacco, on the Cincinnati side, fought to keep his team in the game, but his 199 yards, one touchdown, and one interception were not enough against a more balanced and effective Pittsburgh when it mattered. The victory puts the Steelers at the top of their division heading into their visit to Chicago, although the big question remains who will take the reins if Rodgers does not recover in time.

Result: Steelers 34–12 Bengals

NFL Week 11 Roundup: Broncos vs. Chiefs

The Broncos remain one of the big surprises of the season and reaffirmed that with a 22-19 win over the Chiefs thanks to a field goal by Wil Lutz in the final seconds. Denver reached nine wins in eleven games and consolidated its path to the AFC West title, a division that Kansas City had dominated for nearly a decade.

Bo Nix once again showed veteran poise despite being a rookie, throwing for 295 yards and leading his fifth game-winning drive of the year. His leadership has been key to this surprising campaign, while Denver’s defense once again responded at critical moments, limiting Patrick Mahomes’ opportunities.

Mahomes, meanwhile, added 276 yards, a touchdown to Travis Kelce—who became the Chiefs’ all-time leading scorer—and an interception that ended up affecting the outcome of the game. Kansas City fell to 5-5 and now faces the pressure of a comeback if it wants to secure a spot in the postseason.

After this victory, the Broncos enter their bye week in high spirits, cementing their status as one of the most dangerous teams in the league right now.

Result: Broncos 22–19 Chiefs
