Summary
We spent all last week getting pumped about the Week 11 slate. And then it delivered the goods. The Kansas City Chiefs nine-year reign atop the AFC West is in serious jeopardy after their loss to the Denver Broncos. The Los Angeles Rams grabbed a hold of the NFC West steering wheel with their win over the Seattle Seahawks. The Philadelphia Eagles took down the Detroit Lions in a clash of NFC heavyweights. Josh Allen had a monster day. Bryce Young and Jacoby Brissett set records. Like we said, Week 11 delivered. Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman recap it all on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.
