NFL Week 11




In Week 11 of the NFL Season, there was no clear cut must-watch game this week but there were a couple of good games and some surprises. One of the good and crazy games was the Cleveland Browns against the Baltimore Ravens game. Kyle Boller started the game for the Ravens instead of Steve McNair and Boller didn't do much to help the Ravens either. He went 22-41 for 279 yards and a TD but also had 2 INT, which one of them was returned 100 yards for a Browns touchdown by Brodney Pool. Derek Anderson was efficient again but did not throw at TD pass. He was 24-38 for 274 and an INT. The crazy part of the game came at the end when Browns' kicker Phil Dawson kicked a 51 yard field goal which was ruled a missed at first. The Ravens appeared to have won the game but then the referee ruled that the kick was good so both teams had to come back out for overtime. Phil Dawson kicked another field goal in overtime to win the game 33-30. Another good game was the Washington Redskins vs. Dallas Cowboys game. Terrell Owens, the Cowboys' wide receiver had a huge game with 4 TD receptions, accounting for all of the Cowboys points in a 28-23 victory over the Redskins. Tony Romo, the Cowboys' QB played good again, going 22-32 for 293 yards, 4 TD and an INT. Jason Campbell, the Redskins' QB, played well enough to win the game, going 33-54 for 348 yards, 2 TD and an INT. That INT was a critical won which secured the victory for the Cowboys in the fourth quarter. Other good wins this week was the New York Giants 16-10 victory over the Detroit Lions on the road and the New England Patriots dominating 56-10 victory over the Buffalo Bills in which wide receiver Randy Moss had 4 TD receptions. The surprise of the week was the New York Jets' victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Jets won 19-16 in overtime when kicker Mike Nugent kicked a game-winning 38 yard field goal. It was a disappointing loss for the Steelers, who are considered an elite team in the AFC with the Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts, who struggled in their 13-10 home victory against the Kansas City Chiefs. Will the Patriots keep up their undefeated season and run the table? Are the Cowboys the best in the NFC? Are the Browns going to make the playoffs?
