Week 11 delivered one of the most action-packed slates of the NFL season, headlined by historic performances, late-game heroics, and significant playoff implications across the league. Josh Allen powered the Buffalo Bills to a 44-32 win over Tampa Bay, becoming the first NFL player ever to record two games with at least three passing and three rushing touchdowns. Despite two early interceptions, Allen threw for 317 yards, connecting for three long touchdown passes while adding a physical nine-yard rushing score to seal the victory.
In Denver, the Broncos stretched their winning streak to eight with a 22-19 triumph over Kansas City. Wil Lutz drilled a game-winning 35-yard field goal as time expired, capping a five-field-goal performance. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix set up the clincher with a precise 32-yard pass to Troy Franklin, placing Denver firmly in control of the AFC West race.
San Francisco produced another dominant showing with a 41-22 win over Arizona. Brock Purdy returned from injury to throw three touchdowns, while Christian McCaffrey added three more scores, extending his remarkable record of games with both a rushing and receiving touchdown. Despite the loss, Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett made history by completing an NFL-record 47 passes for 452 yards.
The Los Angeles Rams edged the Seattle Seahawks 21-19 after a defensive masterclass featuring four interceptions, including two by Kamren Kinchens. Matthew Stafford delivered two touchdown throws as the Rams secured their fifth straight win. In Philadelphia, a suffocating Eagles defense lifted the team to a 16-9 win over Detroit, with Jordan Davis disrupting multiple key plays and a late controversial penalty helping the Eagles run out the clock.
Baltimore extended its winning streak after a 23-16 win over Cleveland, highlighted by Mark Andrews’ late 35-yard touchdown run. The game also marked the NFL debut of Shedeur Sanders, who stepped in after an injury to Dillon Gabriel but struggled against Baltimore’s defense.
Other Week 11 highlights included Bryce Young’s franchise-record 448 passing yards in Carolina’s overtime win, Chicago’s last-minute surge led by Devin Duvernay’s 56-yard kickoff return, and the Steelers’ commanding victory over Cincinnati despite losing Aaron Rodgers to a hand injury. Jacksonville rebounded with a dominant showing over the Chargers, while Miami secured an overtime win against Washington in the NFL’s first-ever regular-season game in Spain.
