FOX has a six-game schedule for Week 11, which includes the eagerly anticipated matchup in Los Angeles between the Rams and Seahawks. Both teams are 7-2 and have won four straight games. Los Angeles’ last four wins were by an average of 80 points. Seattle won four games with a total score of 62. The teams will meet again in Seattle for Week 16 and there is likely to be just as much at stake. Here are the key stats and storylines for this week’s FOX game. Chicago, which is tied with Detroit as the best team in the NFC North but lost to Minnesota on opening night, will have to try and salvage the split by going to Minnesota. Kyle Monangai, a rookie, has rushed for over 390 yards. This is the second most by a seventh-rounder in the past 25 years. The only one who comes close to him is Isiah Pacheco, who racked up 830 yards in 2022. It’s another battle between second-year quarterbacks. J.J. McCarthy threw a pair of interceptions against the Ravens, and quarterbacks who have done that in the past 17 weeks have been beaten. Chicago leads the NFL in takeaways with 20, including 13 interceptions. As a result, the Bears lead the NFL by a margin of plus 14 compared to the Vikings’ minus 7. Only the Dolphins have committed more turnovers than the Bears this year. Atlanta has now lost four games in a row. It’s not just missed kicks. The Falcons scored at least 300 total yards in each of their first five matches, and they also held opponents below 300. In the last four games, they have failed to achieve 300 yards in each of them while giving up 400. Bijan Robinson has not been able to reach 100 yards in any of the four last games, despite having 238 total yardage in the Bills’ upset victory. The good news? The good news? What is the bad news, then? Carolina won their first meeting 300-0. This was before Rico Dowdle started his current hot streak. He’s third in the NFL with 788 rushing yardage, despite having just 83 in the opening four games of the year. The NFL record is? Steve Young (14) is the only one who has a streak longer than Ward. Glass half full or not? Ward hasn’t played a game with multiple interceptions yet. The only players who have had longer streaks of not having one are Robert Griffin (15), Dak Prescott (12) or Joe Burrow (11). The Texans came back from a 19-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat the Jaguars. They are trying to keep their playoff hopes alive. Their next three games will be against the Bills at home, the Chiefs at the Colts and the Jaguars at the Chiefs. Houston won the first matchup between these two teams 26-0. It’s the first game of interim Giants head coach Mike Kafka. Ameis Winston will also be making his New York debut, as rookie Jaxson dart is still in concussion treatment protocol. New York’s run defence is more concerning. They allow opponents to average 5.5 yards per carry. That is the highest of any Super Bowl-era defense. Josh Jacobs has rushed 608 yards in this season, but he is still working towards his first 100 yard game. Has Micah Parsons disappointed the Packers? Micah Parsons has 4.5 sacks against the Giants in his career. Brian Burns of the Giants is the other edge rusher. Rashan Gary, Rashan’s teammate, has 7.5 sacks. He is on track to have his first double-digit season. In his first six seasons he had nine and 9.5. This week, FOX Sports’ Power Rankings have Los Angeles and Seattle ranked No. 1 and 3. It’s an important matchup that could determine the NFC’s top seed. It’s a big showdown that could decide who is the NFC’s No. 5. The games of last year were both very close. Rams won the overtime game after Seattle tied the first match in the last minute. Seattle then won the Los Angeles game on a touchdown in 3:19. Seahawks is one of just two NFL teams that are still unbeaten on the roads. The Patriots are also 5-0. Seattle was 7-1 away from home last year, too. Head coach Mike Macdonald’s team has played well on the road in both of his first two years as head coach. Matthew Stafford is already on his bye week and has 25 touchdowns. That’s five more than the next player. He is on track to surpass Patrick Mahomes’ 50 touchdowns in 2018. Mahomes had 11 more touchdowns than any other quarterback in that year. Matthew Stafford, Rams QB is Tom Brady’s Long Field Goal Player of the game. Seattle needs to limit turnovers in order to be competitive. Jonathan Gannon is now in charge of Arizona, which has gone from being 2-0 to 3-6. But don’t blame quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who has thrown for two touchdowns in each of his four starts since taking over for Kyler Murray, with one total interception.Much has been made of San Francisco’s easy schedule, and the 49ers need to win their next four — Cardinals, Panthers, Browns, Titans — to keep up with a tough NFC West with a regular-season finale at home against Seattle. Christian McCaffrey averages a career low 3.5 yard per carry but has been very productive in the pass game. He’s also on pace to surpass the running back season record of 116 set by… McCaffrey himself in 2019. He is on track for 117 receptions which would be a record breaking number of running backs for the season. The previous record was 116 by McCaffrey in 2019.
