The 3 NFL games you can’t afford to miss in Week 11

A Super Bowl LII rematch and a potential barn-burner on Monday Night Football headline the must-watch action of Week 11.

There are peaks and valleys in the NFL season, and Week 11’s slate certainly qualifies as a valley. The slate features a lot of matchups with good teams playing bad ones or simply two terrible squads facing off, but there are still three must watch contests for football diehards, beginning with a showdown between division leaders in the AFC.

Houston Texans (6-3) at Baltimore Ravens (7-2)-Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET on CBS

The first career meeting between Deshaun Watson and Lamar Jackson should lead to plenty of fireworks in Baltimore. The Texans come into this game fresh off their bye and a huge win over the Jaguars in London while Jackson torched the Bengals for four touchdowns, including a highlight-reel 47 yard run, in a 49-13 rout.

New England Patriots (8-1) at Philadelphia Eagles (5-4)-Sunday at 4:25 PM ET on CBS

The last time these two teams met was in Super Bowl LII, when the Eagles and Nick Foles pulled off a massive upset, but this game could be just as fun. Both teams are coming off of their bye, which means the Patriots had two weeks to stew over the beatdown they took in Baltimore while the Eagles need a victory to keep pace in the very tight NFC playoff picture.

Kansas City Chiefs (6-4) at Los Angeles Chargers (4-6)-Monday at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN

This contest will be played in Mexico City, and both squads enter it in need of a victory. The Chargers lost last Thursday in Oakland when Philip Rivers suffered through one of the worst games in his career while the Chiefs wasted an epic performance from Patrick Mahomes in his return from injury by falling late to the Tennessee Titans.
