Week 11 What We Learned+ The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

The 2020 season is carrying on its reputation well through week 11 of the NFL season.

Joe Burrow was the latest of superstars to suffer from a brutal injury. Burrow will be out for the rest of the year after tearing both his ACL and MCL. On top of this, COVID cases continue to keep NFL players and fans on their toes. With all this uncertainty, every win counts. Let’s take a look at how teams handled adversity this week.

From the outside looking in, the Chiefs should have destroyed the Raiders this week especially with the Raiders defense being shuffled around in practice. Although the Chiefs run away with the victory, it does seem the Raiders have exposed them a bit. The Raiders have won the first matchup against the Chiefs and held there own in this weekend’s bout. You best believe that contenders in the NFL will be studying these two games to figure out how to handle the NFLs most dangerous offense.

The Los Angeles Rams are the currently holders of the NFC West crown after topping the Buccaneers in a Monday Night showdown. The Rams shouldn’t get too comfortable as the Seahawks are on their backs and Cardinals hot too far behind. The NFC West division is anyone’s for the taking.

Focusing our attention to the youth of the NFL, it was a tough week. The Bengals lost their leader in Joe Burrow while in Miami, Tua was benched at the end of the game because he continued to show he can’t get the offense going like Fitzmagic can. How is Burrow going to bounce back from the injury? What will the benching do to Tua’s confidence?

Something else worth noting is that Steelers have a strong three game lead in the AFC North with the Ravens in third place. Will Lamar fail to get his team to the playoffs?

Although it seems there are only 10 contenders of the 32 teams in this league, anything can still happen. Let’s take a look at who can and cannot get you in the fantasy championship as playoffs are approaching with Week 11’s The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.
