2025 Nfl Week 11 Winners And Losers And Top Takeaways

The halfway point of the 2025 NFL season and its trade deadline are fading in the rearview mirror. It's now or nothing as teams fully establish who they are and what direction they're heading. Case in point, the New England Patriots again find themselves among the NFL's elite. Meanwhile, the New York Jets are already looking toward the future after another lost season. The two squads met Thursday, with an obvious outcome. Bleacher Report's team of NFL analysts—Brent Sobleski, Gary Davenport, Kristopher Knox and Moe Moton—will provide the best and worst from all the league's latest action.

The jersey number of Buffalo Bills WR Keon Coleman, who was a healthy scratch Sunday after being late to his second team meeting of the season. “Yeah, it is disappointing, but I still believe in the young man,” said Bills coach Sean McDermott.

“I believe he will learn from it.” 1. "Sunday Bloody Sunday" is one of the great, anthemic tracks by Irish rock legends U2 − a musical remembrance of an infamous episode during "The Troubles" that plagued Northern Ireland for decades in the... 2. Pivoting to the NFL of the early 21st century, Sunday was figuratively bloody for a lot of teams and players, several key ones sustaining concerning injuries. Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers, Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr., Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs and Tennessee Titans WR Calvin Ridley, who broke his right fibula, were among notable players who didn't finish...

Ridley is done for the year, while the others will be evaluated moving forward − though the prognosis for Rodgers' injured left wrist already has his status for Week 12 in some doubt. 3. Steelers DB Jalen Ramsey and Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase both seemed to be suffering from wounded pride in a regrettable incident near the end of Pittsburgh's 34-12 victory. Ramsey was ejected for throwing hands, though it seems Chase could be preemptively ejected from Cincy's next game after it appeared he spit toward the perennial Pro Bowl defender. Every week this NFL season, we will break down the highs and lows—and everything in between—from the most recent slate of pro football. This week, Sam Darnold’s turnover troubles returned, the Broncos took control of the AFC West, Josh Allen did Josh Allen things, Jalen Ramsey and Ja’Marr Chase brought us Spitgate 2.0, and more.

Welcome to Winners and Losers. Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula brings out the worst in Seattle QB Sam Darnold. In three games against Shula’s defense dating back to last season (when Darnold was in Minnesota), Darnold is 0-3, he’s been sacked 12 times, and has thrown five interceptions. He threw four of those picks on Sunday in a massive divisional loss to the Rams. Against other defensive coordinators since the start of last season, Darnold is 21-4 and one the league’s most productive quarterbacks. Here are the splits, via TruMedia.

The last two columns offer a good explanation for why Shula’s defense is affecting Darnold. The Seahawks quarterback is going to hunt for big throws. It’s in his nature. And it’s in the Rams’ nature to prevent those downfield throws. When the deep shots are not there, Darnold either holds onto the ball (and takes a bunch of sacks, like he did in last year’s wild-card loss to L.A.) or throws into coverage (and... Seattle has had the league’s most explosive passing game, but in Week 11 it produced just one completion over 20 air yards—and even that required a remarkable one-handed grab by Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

The Rams’ pass rush and coverage units worked in concert to hurry Darnold into tight-window throws. Kam Kinchens started the interception party by undercutting a backfoot throw against man coverage.

And Week 11 has already produced lots of drama. The Miami Dolphins kicked off the day overseas with an overtime win over the Washington Commanders in Spain, where former New England Patriots prospect Jack Jones came up with a critical takeaway.

The Jacksonville Jaguars suddenly roared to life with a surprise blowout of the Los Angeles Chargers, who couldn't carry over momentum from a prime-time win. And the Pittsburgh Steelers routed the rival Cincinnati Bengals, but the win came at a cost, with Aaron Rodgers exiting due to a hand injury. That's not even accounting for the wildness of the Buffalo Bills' win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in which Josh Allen scored six total touchdowns to outduel Baker Mayfield, or the Chicago Bears miraculously... Which players, coaches and teams were the biggest winners and losers of Sunday's games? Here goes: OK, maybe it's time we take Denver seriously.

The Broncos are dragging opposing teams into the mud rather than routing them with high-octane fireworks, but Sunday's tight-knit win over the reigning AFC champion Kansas City Chiefs was a statement victory. That makes eight straight for Sean Payton's squad, which might boast some of the most clutch performers in the league on both sides. Bo Nix remains a late-game fiend. And the defense, featuring the rangy Ja'Quan McMillian, is a terror. Week 11 was widely viewed as one of the best football Sundays of the season thanks to a slate of impressive matchups pairing contenders against each other. In what could become the 2025 season's edition of Moving Day, several teams made huge moves, but perhaps the best performance of the day came in Orchard Park courtesy of reigning MVP Josh Allen.Buffalo...

What the Bills got was a legendary day from their franchise quarterback, who headlines our look at the biggest winners and losers from Week 11 of a very exciting 2025 season. While it would be nice for Allen to have the kind of weapons that Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes have at their disposal, he has shown an ability to do it all and elevate... The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had no answers for Allen on Sunday as he accounted for six total touchdowns (three rushing, three passing) in a 44-32 victory that helped the Bills keep pace with New... In a year when there hasn't been a true runaway MVP candidate, a day like the one Allen had on Sunday can put himself right in the mix to add another award to his... It sure seems like any declarations of Seattle as a Super Bowl contender were premature. The Seahawks almost won the big NFC West showdown in Los Angeles despite the awful performance of quarterback Sam Darnold, who turned back into a pumpkin for Seattle at the worst time.Darnold was heavily...

This effort was Darnold's worst performance since the game where he saw ghosts against New England as a member of the Jets, making it clear he is more of a "win with" guy than... While Darnold deserves criticism for his poor performance in another huge spot, the Rams also deserve credit for how well they played in this contest. Los Angeles has looked like one of the league's best teams for a while and did a good job limiting mistakes against a strong Seahawks' defense, scoring three touchdowns while avoiding the critical mistakes... The two losses for Sean McVay's team this season came under weird circumstances as the Rams had a go-ahead field goal blocked in Philadelphia and McVay played for a win in overtime against San... As one Los Angeles team rises, the other falls. The Chargers laid an absolute egg in Jacksonville on Sunday.

After a physical statement against Pittsburgh last Sunday night, Jim Harbaugh's group showed up flat for a 1:00 p.m. ET kick off against a Jaguars' team that had been in absolute free fall for weeks.Injuries continue to cripple the Chargers as the sheer volume of players they are missing, particularly on the offensive... While a strong start to the season has Los Angeles in a playoff position at 7-4, they won't be able to maintain it unless they can start getting some of their injured stars back... NFL Week 11 winners and losers: Bills pass Bucs test, Chiefs drop to 5-5 originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia Sunday’s NFL Week 11 slate got up and running early in Spain. The Miami Dolphins and Washington Commanders fought in a low-scoring affair inside Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu, with the game being decided in overtime.

Then the real early window featured seven games, with the Buffalo Bills hosting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Jacksonville Jaguars welcoming the Los Angeles Chargers, among others. In the late window, a new team reached 9-2 while two NFC West matches brought more clarity to a tight-knit division. Week 11 brings us 15 exciting matchups across the NFL landscape. The playoff picture starts to take shape as we hit the midpoint of the season. Only the Colts and Saints enjoy their bye week while the rest of the league battles it out. The Patriots look to extend their seven-game winning streak against the struggling Jets on Thursday night.

Sunday features a historic game in Madrid as the Dolphins host the Commanders in Spain. The week culminates with a potential NFC Championship preview as the Lions visit the Eagles on Sunday Night Football. We also made a Free Printable NFL Week 11 Pick’em Sheet for you. Hope you enjoy it. The Patriots chase their ninth win of the season and sit atop the AFC East with an 8-2 record. Drake Maye continues his MVP-caliber campaign and leads one of the most surprising teams in football.

The Jets traded away Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams at the deadline and clearly play for 2026.
