NFL Week 11 Recap: Winners and Losers
After a week of NFL action, Week 11 has already provided a number of surprising headlines. From near-upsets to standout performances, there’s plenty to talk about in terms of winners and losers. Let’s dive into the highlights:
Winner: Brock Purdy
Despite criticism, Brock Purdy led the 49ers to victory with three TDs and no picks for the second consecutive week. His performance against the Buccaneers showed that he’s a force to be reckoned with.
Loser: Robert Saleh
The Jets’ mismanagement at the quarterback position became glaringly obvious in a critical defeat to the Buffalo Bills. Adjusting the strategy at QB was a much-needed move, but it may have come too late.
Winner: DaRon Bland
DaRon Bland’s interception for a touchdown was a highlight in Dallas’ blowout win over Pittsburgh. His ballhawking skills were instrumental in boosting the Cowboys to a 7-3 record.
Losers: Steelers
The Steelers’ loss to the Dorian Thompson-Robinson-led Browns exposed their offensive struggles, particularly in comparison to their defensive performance.
Winner: Jordan Love
Against a desperate Chargers team, Jordan Love proved his critics wrong by leading the Packers to victory. His performance showcased his potential as a future star.
Loser: Chargers
The Chargers’ inability to seal the deal against the Packers was disappointing and showcased several issues within the organization.
Winner: Jalen Ramsey
Jalen Ramsey’s standout performance for the Dolphins was instrumental in helping the team secure a victory over the Raiders. His exceptional ball skills were key in keeping Miami competitive.
Loser: Frank Reich
After reclaiming play-calling duties, Frank Reich’s Panthers struggled to put up points in a loss to the Cowboys. His job security may now be in question.
Overall, Week 11 brought a mix of impressive performances and disappointing outcomes, setting the stage for an exciting finish to the NFL season.
