NFL Week 11: Trends which will decide each game
New York Jets (0-9) at Los Angeles Chargers (2-7), 4:05 pm
Jets: New York returns to action this week and once again it will be veteran Joe Flacco at the helm (via Robby Sabo of Jets X-Factor). Gregg Williams’ pass rush has produced only 11 sacks this season and is one reason that only three teams in the league that just three clubs in the NFL have allowed more passing yards per games in 2020.
Chargers: The club dug itself an early 14-0 hole last week at Miami and never recovered. Justin Herbert continues to impress but the defense remains a disappointment. The Chargers have forced only eight turnovers in nine games. Can the Bolts take advantage of a Jets’ offense that has gained the fewest yards per game in the league?
Green Bay Packers (7-2) at Indianapolis Colts (6-3), 4:25 pm
Packers: Mike Pettine’s defensive unit will be severely tested by the Colts’ talented offensive line and a ground attack that could have a big afternoon. Green Bay has allowed just 95.1 yards per game rushing in their seven victories while the Buccaneers (158) and Vikings (173) combined to gash the Packers for 331 yards on the ground.
Colts: When Marlon Mack went down in the season opener at Jacksonville, it was assumed that rookie Jonathan Taylor would be the main focus out of the backfield. But Nyheim Hines has not only totaled 442 yards from scrimmage, he leads the team with 33 receptions and has scored a club-high six touchdowns – four through the air.
