Week 11 Game Review- Part 1

I went 11-3 on Sunday, putting me at 11-4 on the week.  In the first batch of games, the only one I missed was the Pittsburgh-Kansas City matchup.  I'll get into it further below, but the Steelers allowed the Chiefs to stay in the game, and eventually win it.

Washington at Dallas

Both offenses sputtered in this one.  In fact, the Redskins should have won it.  They missed two field goals, and hitting one of them would have been the difference in the ball game.  The big difference was in the game was the red zone.  Dallas capitalized once in two opportunities, while didn't capitalize on its opportunity.

Cleveland at Detroit

Who would have predicted this would have been the most entertaining game of the day?  The Browns should have won this game, as they were +2 in turnover differential and held the ball for an additional 12 minutes.  Most Browns fans will blame the loss on either Hank Poteat's pass interference or Coach Mangini's timeout, which didn't help their cause, but they still had one play to defend the against a score.

San Francisco at Green Bay

The Packers should won this game by a wider margin.  They held the ball for 23 more minutes, had a +1 turnover advantage, and gained 200 more yards.  Give the 49ers credit for battling back in this one.  Also, the Packers lost defensive standouts Al Harris and Aaron Kampmann for the season.

Pittsburgh at Kansas City

I'm shocked that the Steelers lost this game.  And I'm sure I'm not the only one.  They sacked Matt Cassel five times, went 60% in the red zone, had a 22 minute advantage, and gained over 230 more yards of offense.  The difference for the Chiefs was turnovers, as they were +2 on the day, plus they returned a kick for a touchdown.
