In Week 11, the Cowboys showed what happens when they put their best game together, and the Patriots found another way to beat the Jets, Adam Kilgore writes.
That has been apparent all along, but Sunday they provided emphatic proof of concept. It’s not clear which is the best team in the NFC, but Dallas is in the conversation. The Cowboys traveled to Minnesota to play the Vikings, who had just toppled the mighty Bills and validated their standing among the NFC’s elite. And the Cowboys annihilated them.In a 40-3 victory, Dallas showed how good its offense can be when all of its pieces work together.
And not for nothing, kicker Brett Maher is a weapon. He tucked a 60-yard field goal inside the right upright before halftime, only to learn a whistle had paused play so officials could review CeeDee Lamb’s toe-tapping catch along the sideline. Once Lamb’s catch was confirmed, Maher trotted back out and drilled another kick — and this one went straight down the middle.For the season, Maher has made 19 of 21 field goals and 26 of 27 extra points.
And where did it get any of them? The Chiefs are still the Chiefs, and the rest of them are not. The Chiefs took further command of the division with a thrilling, 30-27 victory Sunday night over the Chargers, pushing them to 8-2 and leaving them as the lone AFC West team over .500.More to the point: The Chiefs have Patrick Mahomes, and their rivals do not.
Earlier Sunday, the Raiders outlasted the host Broncos for a 22-16 overtime victory. The result left both at 3-7. Wilson has provided only buyer’s remorse, and the Raiders’ additions haven’t prevented six losses within one possession. The 5-5 Chargers have been torpedoed by injuries, and offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi has not been able to get the most out of Justin Herbert. The AFC West was supposed to be a gantlet that would test Kansas City’s dominance.
