Highlights from NFL Week 11: A Recap
Patriots Dominate Jets
The Patriots continued their winning streak, improving to 3-0 in the AFC East. Henderson’s standout performance was critical, raising questions about how his role will shift when Rhamondre Stevenson returns from injury. As Henderson transitions from a complementary back to a lead role, the Patriots face decisions on managing their running game.
Dolphins Edge Commanders in Overtime
- Location: Madrid
- Score: Dolphins 24, Commanders 21
- Turning Point: An interception by Dolphins cornerback Jack Jones on Marcus Mariota in overtime led to a game-winning field goal.
Despite a rocky performance, the Dolphins secured their first winning streak of the season, now sitting at 4-7 and eyeing a playoff comeback. Their next challenge occurs after a bye week, where they will face the New Orleans Saints followed by the New York Jets.
Commanders Struggle Continues
The Washington Commanders suffered yet another defeat, extending their losing streak to six games. Major issues included a dismal red zone offense, unable to convert any of their three attempts into touchdowns. Injuries also hampered their performance, putting additional pressure as they approach their next game against the Saints.
Jets Consider Changing Quarterbacks
The New York Jets are reconsidering their quarterback situation following Justin Fields’ lackluster performance. With only 116 passing yards against the Patriots, speculation grows about the potential for veteran Tyrod Taylor to take over in hopes of revitalizing the Jets’ offense.
