One thing we learned about each team in Week 11 Dak Prescott back for Cowboys Eagles additions huge

Week 11 of the NFL saw plenty of truths being handed out around the league, fitting since Thanksgiving is around the corner and the playoff races are heating up. The Kansas City Chiefs own the AFC West and the Tenne see Titans control the AFC South to start, virtually locking up playoff berths with their wins this week.The Dallas Cowboys had their largest road win in franchise history by thrashing the Minnesota Vikings, while the Philadelphia Eagles continued controlling the NFC East and conference with Minnesota and the New York Giants losing. The San Francisco 49ers even took the NFC West lead with their big victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night.As the playoff picture starts to come into focus, what did we learn about each team in Week 11? Here's one thing that's worth mentioning.Second-half offense was typical Kliff Kingsbury: The Cardinals offense has gone through inconsistent stretches in games all season, typically in the first half. Arizona saved the poor stretch for the second half -- with its backup quarterback in tow. The Cardinals ran 32 plays for 129 yards in the second half, averaging 4.03 yards per play. They turned the ball over on downs twice and punted twice, with the final po se Joe Harris Jersey sion resulting in an interception when was pulled.Arizona ran 22 plays for 80 yards on the four po se sions McCoy was in (3.6 yards per play). The Cardinals didn't score any points and the 49ers scored 21 on three of their five po se sions (not counting kneel downs). Different quarterback, same story.The injury made the pa s offense le s efficient: The Falcons haven't used Pitts much on offense this year (or utilized him to his strengths), but his knee injury in the third quarter was devastating. Atlanta threw for only 25 yards since the Pitts injury, as went 3 of 4 during the stretch. Of course, Atlanta is a running team. only had three targets and only finished with two targets, so throwing the football isn't exactly part of the game plan anyway. Without Pitts on the field, it's fair to wonder if the Falcons will even throw the ball 15 times next week. is WR1: Robinson steeped up for an offense that only rushed for 115 yards Sunday -- Baltimore's second-lowest total of the season. He finished with nine catches for 128 yards on a day where no other wide receiver had more than two targets ( had zero catches).The only other Ravens wide receiver to catch a pa s Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Jersey was (one catch for 3 yards). With out for the year, someone among the Ravens wide receivers had to step up. Robinson has emerged as the top wideout with 16 catches for 204 yards over the last three weeks. Baltimore needs more help at wide receiver, but Robinson is the go-to wideout on this roster with Bateman out.Josh Allen didn't carry the ground game: Good for the Bills to not have to rely on Allen to win a football game with his arm -- or his legs. The Bills actually ran the ball with their running backs, as the running back-by-committee of and had 29 carries for 172 yards and a touchdown (5.9 yards per carry).Allen only had three carries for 7 yards in the game, which is a good thing. The Bills acclimated Cook to the offense well, as he had 11 carries for 86 yards (7.8 yards per carry) -- which included a long run of 29 yards to end the third quarter. Buffalo is still struggling throwing the football, but it's nice to see the Bills can go to the ground game to score points. can't push the ball downfield: The Panthers' deep pa sing game is nonexistent when Mayfield plays quarterback. Mayfield averaged just 5.9 yards per attempt in Sunday's lo s to the Ravens, lower than his 6.4 average for the year (32nd out of 35 qualified quarterbacks).Not only did Mayfield fail to complete a 20-yard pa s until the second half, his 34-yard pa s to . came with 1:38 left in a 13-3 deficit. Mayfield has completed 39.7% of his pa ses that have gone for 10-plus air yards, only higher than , and . Perhaps this is why the Panthers go to . Their offense isn't a threat in the pa sing game with Mayfield.They run the ball too much: Hard to go against a formula that's working, especially when Chicago has rushed for 225-plus yards in five consecutive games. The Bears have the No. 1 run offense in football and had 160 yards on the ground Sunday -- and still run the ball too much.Chicago had carry the ball 18 times and 17 in the absence of . That's too much for the starting quarterback -- no matter how dynamic Fields is on the ground -- especially since he's now dealing with a shoulder injury. Chicago ran the ball 41 times and averaged 3.9 yards per carry. Yes, the Bears have a great run offense. D'Angelo Russell Jersey They need to develop Fields and balance out the pa s attack this offseason. appears back: One of the best pa s rushers in the NFL over the past two seasons, Hendrickson has gotten off to a slow start in 2022. However, over the last few weeks, the Bengals' top pa s rusher has rounded into form.Hendrickson has 3.5 sacks over his last four games, adding seven quarterback hits, two pa ses defended and 14 pre sures in the stretch. The Nicolas Claxton Jersey Bengals edge rusher had his way against tackle , finishing with two sacks, four quarterback hits and seven pre sures in Sunday's win over the Steelers. Hendrickson has been an unsung hero in Cincinnati winning three of its last four games. He's back to playing at that Pro Bowl level. was shut down for the first time this year: Chubb has been brilliant running the football all season long, but he had just 14 carries for 19 yards in Sunday's lo s to the Bills -- averaging 1.9 yards per carry. The Bills defense deserves a lot of credit for shutting down Chubb, but it was interesting how the Browns offense worked without him. threw for 324 yards and three touchdowns, yet the Browns were just 2 of 4 in the red zone because Chubb wasn't a factor in the situations he thrives in. The Browns ran the football just 12.5% of the time in the red zone -- and Chubb had just one carry for -6 yards (on a direct snap). Just an awkward day for one of the top running backs in the game. looked like Dak Prescott again: Prescott's struggles since his return were a bit overexaggerated, but his performance against the Packers wasn't one to write home about. Still, the Cowboys quarterback completed 68.4% of his pa ses for 722 yards with six touchdowns to three interceptions (97.4 rating) since his return.Prescott was at his best Sunday, completing 22 of 25 pa ses for 276 yards with two touchdowns (139.3 rating) in a dominant 40-3 win over the Vikings. The Cowboys are averaging 35.3 points per game since Prescott returned to the lineup, with Prescott Nate Sestina Jersey completing 72.4% of his pa ses for 998 yards with eight touchdowns to three interceptions (107.7 rating).With Prescott playing at a high level and the defense being able to tee off against the quarterback, the Cowboys are one of the best teams in the NFL. The new play-caller couldn't help the offense generate points: Another week the Broncos failed to score 20 points in a game -- and this time Klint Kubiak was calling plays instead of Nathaniel Hackett. Denver scored a touchdown on the first drive and a field goal on the second drive. An 84-yard drive on the third po se sion resulted in a blocked field goal and everything went downhill from there.Denver had just six points the rest of the way, having just 123 yards on the final seven po se sions (3.3 yards per play). The Broncos defense couldn't preserve a 10-0 lead, but the offense didn't do anything to extend it much either.There were a few aspects to like with Kubiak calling plays, but the end result was more of the same. is Barry Sanders?: Not quite, but Williams accomplished a feat that only Sanders reached with the Lions. Williams had his fifth game with multiple rushing to
