Week 11

Week 11 of the NFL season had great matchups and some weird finishes. The New York Jets played the New England Patriots last Thursday night to start the football weekend and it was good. Both quarterbacks were effective. Jets' quarterback Brett Favre was 26 of 33 for 258 yards and 2 touchdowns. Patriots' quarterback Matt Cassel was 30 of 51 for 400 yards and 3 touchdowns. The Jets took the game in overtime 34-31, after blowing a big lead. The matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Cincinnati Bengals ended oddly. Eagles' quarterback Donovan McNabb struggled, throwing three interceptions and completing less than half of his pass attempts. Bengals' quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, however, was solid, going 29 of 44 for 261 yards and a touchdown. However, the game ended in a 13-13 tie, the first NFL tie since 2002, when the Atlanta Falcons and Pittsburgh Steelers ended in a 34-34 tie. The matchup between the San Diego Chargers and the Steelers was intriguing as well. Chargers' quarterback Philip Rivers and Chargers' running back LaDainian Tomlinson struggled, while Steelers' quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and Steelers' running back Willie Parker flourished. However, the Steelers were unable to score an offensive touchdown, but they still won 11-10. That was the first time in the history of the NFL a final score was 11-10. In other scores, the Cleveland Browns beat the Buffalo Bills 29-27, the Dallas Cowboys beat the Washington Redskins 14-10, and the Denver Broncos beat the Atlanta Falcons 24-20. The Tennessee Titans, who won again to improve to 10-0, have been impressive, but I think they will lose to the Jets next Sunday to end their streak. The New York Giants, at 9-1, also have a test coming up next week as they play the Arizona Cardinals. I think the Giants will win that game in a close one. What do you think? Who is the MVP so far? Who is disappointing?
