Playoff Push Begins As Nfl Enters Week 11 FOR USE AS DESIRED 11/17/20 PLAYOFF PUSH BEGINS AS NFL ENTERS WEEK 11 A 43-yard, game-winning touchdown pass with two seconds remaining? That was just the opening act. Across the NFL, 15 teams have at least six wins, the most such teams in any season through 10 weeks. In any previous campaign, entering Week 11, the most teams with six-or-more wins was 14, in both 1984 and 1986. Eight of those 15 teams with six-or-more victories were not in the playoffs a year ago. Since 1990, at least four teams every season have qualified for the playoffs after failing to make the postseason the year before. And starting this season, the NFL unveils a 14-team playoff format, with two additional Wild Card teams – one each in the AFC and NFC – qualifying for the postseason. This week, five games on the Week 11 schedule feature head-to-head matchups of teams with at least six wins: Fresh off a thrilling win in Week 10, the ARIZONA CARDINALS (6-3) visit the SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (6-3) to kick off Week 11 on Thursday Night Football (8:20 PM ET, FOX/NFLN/Amazon). In Week 7, Arizona outlasted Seattle, 37-34, in overtime. The GREEN BAY PACKERS (7-2), one of two NFC teams with seven wins this season, are at the AFC South- leading INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (6-3) on Sunday (4:25 PM ET, FOX). The KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (8-1) are at the LAS VEGAS RAIDERS (6-3) on Sunday Night Football (8:20 PM ET, NBC). Over their last 18 games, including postseason, the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs have one loss: Earlier this season at home to the Raiders, in Week 5. The BALTIMORE RAVENS (6-3) host the TENNESSEE TITANS (6-3) on Sunday (1:00 PM ET, CBS), pairing two of the top three rushing offenses in the AFC in a rematch of a 2019 AFC Divisional playoff game. And, in a battle of two of the NFL’s top defenses, the LOS ANGELES RAMS (6-3) travel to play the TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (6-3) on Monday Night Football (8:15 PM ET, ESPN). TUA BIDS FOR FOURTH STRAIGHT WIN: Miami’s TUA TAGOVAILOA on Sunday at Denver (4:05 PM, CBS) can accomplish something only one other rookie quarterback has done in the last 40 years: Win his first four NFL starts. Only BEN ROETHLISBERGER, who won his first 13 starts as a rookie in 2004, owns a longer streak in that span. Tagovailoa, who has five touchdown passes and zero interceptions this season, has won each of his first three career starts and joins CARSON WENTZ (2016) as the only rookie quarterbacks to win their first three starts and throw zero interceptions in the Super Bowl era. The rookie starters with the most consecutive wins to begin an NFL career in the Super Bowl era (1966-present): QUARTERBACK TEAM SEASON WINS Ben Roethlisberger Pittsburgh 2004 13 Mike Kruczek Pittsburgh 1976 6 Phil Simms N.Y. Giants 1979 4 Virgil Carter Chicago 1968 4 Tua Tagovailoa Miami 2020 3* *Active streak AFC WEST WINNING STREAKS ON THE LINE: The LAS VEGAS RAIDERS host the KANSAS CITY CHIEFS in a showdown atop the AFC West on Sunday Night Football (8:20 PM ET, NBC). The teams own two of the six longest active winning streaks in the NFL. Kansas City has won four straight while the Raiders are undefeated in their last three. Only the Steelers (nine), Saints (six) and Dolphins (five) enter Week 11 with longer winning streaks. On third down, both the Raiders and Chiefs have excelled. Las Vegas leads the NFL in third-down offense, converting 50.4 percent of its third-down attempts (58 of 115), while Kansas City (50 percent, 60 of 120) is tied for second. Kansas City’s PATRICK MAHOMES leads the NFL with a 139.6 third-down passer rating, while the Raiders’ DEREK CARR (112.9) ranks fourth among qualified passers. The Chiefs’ TRAVIS KELCE and the Raiders’ DARREN WALLER share the NFL lead among tight ends with 15 third-down receptions. Mahomes, coming off a bye, passed for 372 yards with four touchdowns and zero interceptions for a 121.7 rating in the Chiefs' Week 9 win. He has 101 touchdown passes in 40 career games and surpassed Pro Football Hall of Famer DAN MARINO (44 games) as the fastest player to reach 100 career touchdown passes in NFL history. Mahomes also has 19 career games with at least three touchdown passes, surpassing Marino (18 games) for the most such games by a player in his first 40 career games in NFL history. DEFENSE ON DISPLAY MONDAY NIGHT: When the LOS ANGELES RAMS meet the TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS in a key intraconference battle on Monday Night Football (8:15 PM ET, ESPN), two of the league’s top defenses will be in action. The Rams rank second in both total yards allowed per game (296.4) and points allowed per game (18.7). Tampa Bay ranks third in the league with 300.3 total yards allowed per game and is tied with Pittsburgh for the NFL lead with 17 takeaways. In sacks this season, the Buccaneers (32) and Rams (31) rank second and third, respectively, in the NFL. Los Angeles defensive lineman AARON DONALD and Tampa Bay linebacker JASON PIERRE-PAUL are the only two players in the NFL with at least seven sacks in each of the past five seasons. Tampa Bay running back RONALD JONES rushed for a career-high 192 yards, including a 98-yard touchdown, in the Buccaneers' win last week. Jones is the fourth player in NFL history to record a rushing touchdown of at least 98 yards, joining Pro Football Hall of Famer TONY DORSETT (99 yards in Week 17, 1982), AHMAN GREEN (98 yards in Week 17, 2003) and DERRICK HENRY (99 yards in Week 14, 2018). SPEAKING OF DEFENSE: The NEW ORLEANS SAINTS enter Sunday’s game against the ATLANTA FALCONS (1:00 PM ET, FOX) having not allowed a 100-yard rusher in 52 consecutive games, the NFL’s longest streak since the 1970 merger. Prior to last week, the longest streak belonged to the DALLAS COWBOYS, who went 51 straight games without allowing a 100-yard rusher from 1972-76. The Falcons’ offense ranks fifth in total yards per game (396.8) while the Saints allow 308.2 yards per game, fourth in the league this season. New Orleans running back ALVIN KAMARA recorded three touchdowns (two rushing, one receiving) in the Saints' Week 10 victory. Kamara has 17 career games with at least two touchdowns, tied with CHUCK FOREMAN (17 games) for the second-most such games by a player in his first four seasons in NFL history. Only LARRY JOHNSON (18) has more. Kamara has eight career games with both a rushing and receiving touchdown, tied with Foreman (eight) for the second-most such games by a player in his first four seasons in league annals. Only CHRISTIAN MCCAFFREY (nine) has more. COMEBACK UPDATE: In Week 10, New Orleans overcame a 10-point deficit to win. There now have been 31 games in which a team has overcome a deficit of at least 10 points to win this season, the most through Week 10 in NFL history. Additionally, the 2020 season joins 2015 as the only seasons in which a team has overcome a deficit of at least 13 points to win in each of the first 10 weeks of a season in NFL history. Last week, the ARIZONA CARDINALS overcame a 14-point deficit to defeat Buffalo, 32-30. There have been 11 games in which a team has overcome a deficit of at least 14 points to win this season, tied with the 2014 season (11) for the third-most such games through Week 10 in NFL history. Only the 1987 (14) and 2011 (13) seasons had more. RODGERS, PACKERS MEET NFL’S TOP DEFENSE: Green Bay quarterback AARON RODGERS, who leads qualified NFL passers with a 116.4 rating this season, takes the Packers into Indianapolis on Sunday (4:25 PM ET, FOX). Green Bay ranks sixth in the NFL with 395.8 yards per game and third in the league with 30.8 points per contest. The Colts, meanwhile, have allowed the league’s fewest yards per game (290.4) and fourth-fewest points per game (19.7). Packers wide receiver DAVANTE ADAMS had eight receptions for 66 yards and one touchdown in Green Bay’s Week 10 win. Adams has 61 receptions for 741 yards and nine touchdowns this season and joins Pro Football Hall of Famers MARVIN HARRISON (1999) and RANDY MOSS (2007) as the only players with at least 700 receiving yards and nine touchdown receptions in their first seven games of a season in the Super Bowl era. His 61 receptions are the fifth-most by a player in his first seven games of a season in NFL history. PATRIOT PERCH: When New England travels to play the Texans on Sunday (1:00 PM ET, CBS), Patriots cornerback J.C. JACKSON has an opportunity to intercept a pass in a sixth consecutive game. Jackson, who leads the NFL with six interceptions, is the first player with an interception in five straight games since a five-game streak by REGGIE NELSON in 2015. Since the 1970 merger, the NFL’s longest streak is six games (seven times, most recently BRIAN RUSSELL in 2003). Signed by the Patriots as an undrafted free agent in 2018, Jackson is on pace to become the first NFL player with double-digit interceptions since the Chargers’ ANTONIO CROMARTIE had 10 in 2007.

  • Seminoles in the Nfl Draft
    137 PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME All-time Florida State gridiron greats Walter Jones and Derrick Brooks are used to making history. The longtime NFL stars added an achievement that will without a doubt move to the top of their accolade-filled biographies when they were inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame inAugust, 2014. Jones and Brooks became the first pair of first-ballot Hall of Famers from the same class who attended the same college in over 40 years. The pair’s journey together started 20 years ago. Just as Brooks was wrapping up his All-America career at Florida State in 1994, Jones was joining the Seminoles out of Holmes Community College (Miss.) for the 1995 season. DERRICK BROOKS Linebacker 1991-94 2014 Pro Football Hall of Fame WALTER JONES Offensive Tackle 1995-96 2014 Pro Football Hall of Fame 138 PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME They never played on the same team at Florida State, but Jones distinctly remembers how excited he was to follow in the footsteps of the star linebacker whom he called the face of the Seminoles’ program. Jones and Brooks were the best at what they did for over a decade in the NFL. Brooks went to 11 Pro Bowls and never missed a game in 14 seasons (all with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers), while Jones became the NFL’s premier left tackle, going to nine Pro Bowls over 12 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. Both retired in 2008, and, six years later, Jones and Brooks were teammates for the first time as first-ballot Hall of Famers.
