NFL Week 11 Roundup

Last Updated on November 21, 2023 5:57 pm by Erwin Noguera

The NFL week 11 has ended, and the results have been exciting for all football fans, as we had great games with close scores all over.

The clash between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles was close, and this Super Bowl-level rematch had its ups and downs. However, as of right now, the Super Bowl runner-ups continue to dominate as the most successful team this season.

The clash between the Bengals and the Ravens was exciting, and even though the results were not surprising given placements in the AFC North, it was a fun watch.

The matches all weekend round were great, but this wasn’t a round for upsets. However, there was fun from start to finish, and that’s what we are in for.

It was not the primetime offensive classic that many had hoped for. There were nine punts and a missed field goal by Bengals kicker Evan McPherson on a disjointed night of football in Maryland.

The matchup was marred by injuries, with the most notable victim being Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow, who, despite initially appearing to be fine during Cincinnati’s opening drives, seemed to be in pain after throwing a touchdown pass to Joe Mixon in the second quarter and was seen clutching his wrist.

The QB headed to the blue medical tent before being shown on the broadcast to be struggling with his grip and throwing the ball. He departed to the locker room shortly after and was ruled out for the rest of the game.

The Ravens continued to set the pace in the hotly contested AFC North as they picked up their eighth win. The game started perfectly for Baltimore, with its first drive culminating in a short rushing touchdown by running back Gus Edwards.

It was not all positive for the locals, though. Tight end Mark Andrews suffered an ankle injury on the opening drive and was ruled out for the game. According to head coach John Harbaugh, the injury will keep Andrews out for the rest of the season.

The Baltimore Ravens improved to 8-3 as they took down the Cincinnati Bengals.

NFL Week 11 Roundup: Miami Dolphins 20 – 13 Las Vegas Raiders

Raiders +380

The Miami Dolphins remain undefeated at home after defeating the Las Vegas Raiders, even though this was not the blowout some were anticipating, as the Dolphins turned the ball over three times and left the door open for the Raiders offense until the very end.

Raiders rookie quarterback, Aidan O’Connell, had a chance to lead a game-tying drive late in the fourth quarter but was picked off by Jalen Ramsey in the end zone for his second interception with just 30 seconds remaining.

Miami’s offense was not as explosive Sunday, as they registered just 20 points, which marked a season low at home. It gave O’Connell and Co. some hope, but the Dolphins defense wasn’t about to allow an upset. 

Their defense gave up just one touchdown all game, zero points in the second half, and forced three O’Connell turnovers in the final two quarters.

It would be easy to say the Raiders just don’t possess the kind of offensive firepower the Dolphins do, but what decided this game was turnovers. Las Vegas’ inability to cash in on the turnovers its defense created and the three turnovers the offense committed in the second half were their doom. 

NFL Week 11 Roundup: Detroit Lions 31 – 26 Chicago Bears

Bears +375

The Detroit Lions had one hell on a ride on an inconsistent night on their home turf. However, their rampage in the second and third Quarters was enough to keep their excellent form going.

The team acted like they were playing with the Bears’ hope, as whenever the Chicago franchise started gaining momentum, they hit the table and, with authority, took the match. Jared Goff, on his side, won the individual duel against his counterpart Justin Fields, completing more passes, covering more aerial yards and one more TD.

As such, the Detroit franchise was finally established as the greatest surprise this season. They are just behind the all-mighty Eagles in all the NFL.

NFL Week 11 Roundup: Kansas City Chiefs 17 – 21 Philadelphia Eagles

When? 

Monday, November 20 at 8:15 pm ET in Arrowhead Stadium

Moneyline odds: 

Chiefs -130 

Eagles +125

Monday night’s win at Arrowhead Stadium might not erase the pain of the Super Bowl 57 loss for the Eagles, but it’s certainly a start for a Philadelphia team hoping to take that final step this season.

In February, the Chiefs trailed by 10 points at halftime but walked away with a victory. This time, the Eagles mounted a second-half comeback and held on for the win. It wouldn’t have been possible without some help from Kansas City’s embattled receiving corps.

While the Eagles defense was able to clamp down on the Chiefs at times, Mahomes saw more than a few well-placed passes fall incomplete as his receivers struggled. When Kansas City had a chance to go down the field and score a go-ahead touchdown in the final minutes, the drive was marred by drops from Travis Kelce, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Justin Watson.

Turnovers cost the Chiefs as well. Mahomes was intercepted by Kevin Byard in the second quarter, ending a scoring opportunity, and Kelce fumbled away the ball when Kansas City was driving early in the fourth quarter. While both represented wasted chances for the Chiefs, the Eagles didn’t turn either turnover directly into points. 

The Eagles (9-1) will take the NFL’s best record into Week 12, while the Chiefs (7-3) slip behind the Ravens for the top spot in the AFC but only face one more team with a winning record the rest of the way.
