Biggest Blowout: Saints 51-14 Bengals
When the Saints (7-1) went into Cincinnati to take on the Bengals (5-3), the Bengals should’ve known that their best chance at beating the Saints was by keeping up with their offense considering their 7 game win streak. I say “should’ve” because they certainly didn’t. The Saints, lead by Brees’ 3 touchdown game, torched the Bengals’ defense in a 37 point victory. The Saints’ total yardage, at 509, crushes the Bengals’ total, at 284, slightly more than half Saints amount.

Biggest Surprise: Falcons 16-28 Browns
When the Falcons (4-4), who were on a 3 game win streak, came in to Cleveland to take on a Browns (2-6-1) team who had lost 4 straight, they were expected to continue in that direction. However, the Browns had an ace up their sleeve, Nick Chubb. Chubb surprised everyone by racking up 203 yards and 2 touchdowns, including the longest touchdown in Cleveland’s history. The Falcons were not able to keep up and lost by multiple possessions.

Biggest Disappointment: Panthers 21-52 Steelers
The Panthers (6-2) and the Steelers (5-2-1) both entered the game looking like juggernauts, and the odds were fifty/fifty. Unfortunately, the Panthers, despite an early touchdown, stalled out on offense. Meanwhile, Ben Rothlisberger looked like like the elite quarterback he is, finding the end zone 5 times with 328 passing yards. This is a huge setback for the Panthers, who are already playing in a competitive NFC South.
Next Game
Panthers (6-3): at Lions (3-6)
Steelers (6-2-1): at Jaguars (3-6)
Best Game: Seahawks 31-36 Rams
After the Rams (8-1) took their first loss against the Saints, they were looking to rebound. However, they were playing the Seahawks (4-4), who gave them a run for their money the last time they faced. Once again, the two teams went back and forth, with 26 points combined in the 4th Quarter. Both teams also reached over 400 total yards on the day. However, the Rams were able to pull out the victory in the end.

Seahawks (4-5): vs Packers (4-4-1)

Week 11 Preview
Trash Heap of the Weak: Raiders at Cardinals
The Raiders’ (1-8) quest for the number 1 pick continues as they have to lose to the Cardinals (2-7). Both teams have struggled to do much of anything, with the Raiders beat Cleveland while the Cardinals swept the 49ers. With both teams wanting a top pick, this should not be a great game.
Prediction: Raiders 17-21 Cardinals
Lock of the Week: Broncos at Chargers
The Chargers (7-2) have only lost twice, to the two 9-1 teams this year. The Broncos (3-6) on the other hand, have lost 6 of the last 7 and are looking away from the playoffs, and focusing more on next season. The Chargers’ offense seems to always play smart, with Phillip Rivers knowing just what to do.
Prediction: Broncos 10-30 Chargers
Upset of the Week: Steelers at Jaguars
As mentioned earlier, the Steelers (6-2-1) have looked strong as of late winning 5 straight. Meanwhile, the Jaguars (3-6) have lost 5 straight. However, the Steelers’ defense has had frequent troubles against the Jaguars' short routes. If the Jaguars can push hard enough with their run game, they could win and possibly make a playoff push.
Prediction: Steelers 31-34 Jaguars
Game of the Week: Chiefs at Rams
No contest. The two best records in the league face off. The Chiefs (9-1) have been pushed by the gunslinging Patrick Mahomes and gadget player Tyreek Hill. The Rams (9-1) have Jared Goff, who has become a mighty quarterback along side Pro Bowler Todd Gurley. There is a good chance that this game is a Super Bowl 53 preview.
Prediction: Chiefs 34-41 Rams
