Last Week: 25.

Week 11 Result: Lost vs.

Wilson told reporters after the loss that he remains hopeful the team can turn things around despite losing three straight starts for the first time in his career.

That's what I really believe, and so the thought process of it, man, it can feel like it's your worst day just as a team, as a group, and it can feel heavy and all that, but I do think that you have to have perspective and know that there's still opportunity, and we have to decide and we have to execute on it, and we have to go do it.".

Still, the Panthers were outgained by a fair margin (369 yards to 297) in this game, and Carolina's vaunted pass defense allowed three touchdown passes from Washington's Taylor Heinicke.

The game was a reminder that while the Panthers aren't a bad team, they also aren't an especially good one.

Week 11 Result: Won at Carolina 27-21.

But after winning just two of eight games before the bye, Washington peeled off its most impressive win of the season in Week 10 in upsetting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Week 11 Result: Lost vs.

It was a game in which the Raiders managed just 278 yards of offense and 13 first downs.

The good news for the Cleveland Browns is that after defeating the Detroit Lions in Week 11, the team is back above .500 for the season.

Nick Chubb had a good game, picking up 130 yards on 22 carries.

And after watching Cleveland struggle to put away a putrid Lions team led by a quarterback who threw for 77 yards the entire game, it has just about become impossible to take the Browns seriously as a contender.".

Week 11 Result: Won at Las Vegas 32-13.

After the game, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor admitted to reporters that the "P" word has now officially entered the conversation.

Week 11 Result: Lost at Los Angeles Chargers 41-37.

It was an explosion that moved Taylor into the lead in rushing yards for the season.

It was also just the second time this season that Taylor carried the ball more than 20 times, and as Colts head coach Frank Reich told reporters after the game, the team is prepared to lean on their young back more down the stretch this season.

This is not just a team capable of making a run at a wild card berth.

Week 11 Result: Won at Chicago 16-13.

Week 11 didn't start out as planned for the Baltimore Ravens—just before the start of Sunday's game in Chicago, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was scratched from the starting lineup with an illness.

The game that followed wasn't pretty—with Tyler Huntley under center, the Ravens failed to hit 300 yards of offense or average four yards per carry on the ground.

While speaking to reporters after the game, cornerback Marlon Hunphrey applauded the Ravens for overcoming adversity and gutting out a win.

Week 11 Result: Lost at Kansas City 19-9.

1 offense both in terms of yards per game and points per game.
