This week, the NFL regular season heads into Week 11, and the action is heating up as teams start to emerge as serious contenders. This weekend marks the end of international games, so fans can expect all matchups to kick off at the usual 1 p.m. ET time, ensuring an afternoon full of football excitement.
In the early window, two intense rivalries take center stage. In Chicago, the Bears are set to clash with the Green Bay Packers in a key NFC North matchup. This game will be especially significant for Chicago’s rookie quarterback, Caleb Williams, as it marks his first experience in this historic rivalry. Notably, this game will also be the Bears’ first of the season without their offensive coordinator, Shane Waldron, who was let go following a tough loss to the Patriots in Week 10.
Meanwhile, the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers are gearing up for their first matchup of the year at Acrisure Stadium. This AFC North battle is crucial, with first place in the division up for grabs. The Ravens, led by Lamar Jackson, are looking to keep their top spot, but the Steelers, with Russell Wilson at the helm, are eager to claim the division lead for themselves.
As the afternoon progresses, fans can look forward to a highly anticipated showdown between Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen, as the Kansas City Chiefs visit the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium. Although Mahomes has the advantage in the playoffs with a 3-0 record against Allen, the Bills quarterback has historically fared better in regular-season encounters, boasting a 3-1 record against Mahomes.
Throughout the day, a total of 11 games will take place, following Thursday night’s matchup between the Washington Commanders and the Philadelphia Eagles. For Sunday evening, fans can tune in to Sunday Night Football featuring the Cincinnati Bengals facing off against the Los Angeles Chargers. To wrap up Week 11, Monday Night Football will see the Dallas Cowboys host the Houston Texans.
This weekend promises an action-packed lineup as teams continue to battle for playoff positioning, making it a must-watch for all football fans.
