NFL Week 11 Review

[bayala]

I forgot to enter my tips this week so it's all over for me this year. Here's the table through 11 weeks :

 

Did we call it too early?

[Kipp] The Bears traded two 1st-rounders, a 3rd-rounder and a 6th-rounder to the Raiders for Khalil Mack, a 2nd-rounder and conditional 5th-round picks. Chicago then signed Mack to the richest contract in NFL history for a defensive player. Total sacks in 2019: OAK: 25 CHI: 25

Last year the Bears looked like geniuses and the Raiders were universally panned. Now it's looking like everyone was a bit trigger happy. 

 

Coin Flip

[Siciliano] Chargers have lost 31 one-possession games since 2015, the most in the NFL.

Last year it went the Chargers way. This year it hasn't. It's a game of fine margins. 

 

In a class of their own

[Harmon] The Ravens have scored on 53.9% of their offensive drives. They're the only team above 50%. Rest of the Top 7: Chiefs 47.9%, Cowboys 46.7%, Vikings 42.7%, Saints 41.7%, Cardinals 41% & 49ers 40%

Can the Ravens juggernaut be stopped? I'm sure every OC and DC in the league are trying to figure them out in order to copy and stop them. 

 

Deserves better

7 more yards and Mike Evans would become 2nd NFL player to begin his career with 6 straight 1000 yard seasons, the other player: Randy Moss
Evans is at 993 this season. Only one other receiver started their career with 6 straight 1000 yard campaigns.

Unfortunately for Evans he's stuck in a small market on an under performing team. As a Bucs fan it kills me to say he should probably be traded to a better team so we can perform a hard-reset. 

 

Impressive

With 788 rushing yards, Lamar Jackson is currently 7th all-time for QB rushing yds in a season with 6 games to go. He also leads this list in Passer Rating at 106.3

The list:

Rushing Yards    Passer Rating
Michael Vick (2006)    1039
Bobby Douglass (1972)    968
Randall Cunningham (1990)    942
Michael Vick (2004)    902
Russell Wilson (2014)    849
Robert Griffin III (2012)    815
Lamar Jackson (2019)    788
