CHAMPS ON THE ROPES: It’s probably premature, and likely foolish, to count out the Chiefs. Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid still know what they’re doing. But the Chiefs are absolutely in trouble after falling to 5-5 after Sunday’s 22-19 loss to the Broncos, and that's where Ben Volin begins his Week 11 review.
WILLIAMS TO THE IR: The Patriots placed Milton Williams on injured reserve Saturday, which means the defensive tackle will miss at least the next four games (at Cincinnati, vs. Giants, vs. Bills, and at Baltimore). Nicole Yang has the news.
STRONG CASE: To the tune of “M-V-P” chants, on a national stage, Drake Maye delivered yet another dazzling performance in Thursday night’s win over the Jets. Nicole Yang takes a look at who’s up, who’s down, and whom to watch ahead of Sunday’s Patriots-Bengals game.
IT'S BEEN A WHILE: Stefon Diggs is on pace to become the first Patriot since Julian Edelman in 2019 to reach 1,000 receiving yards. Christopher Price looks at the wide receiver's production a little more than a year removed from ACL surgery.
SNAP JUDGMENTS: In each week since Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) was sidelined, rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson has set a season high in snaps. Nicole Yang breaks down the snap counts from Thursday's win over the Jets.
RAMS TOUGH: Coach Sean McVay has already proven his bona fides as an offensive mastermind. Yet the 2025 Rams may be his greatest show yet on turf. Ben Volin breaks down the numbers.
