With 3 mins left to play in opposition to the Bears, the Lions have been trailing 26-14, however come what may, Detroit controlled to tug off a wild comeback for a 31-26 win. That win helped them end an 84-game losing streak by NFL teams in a undeniable state of affairs and we’re going to be overlaying that under. 

Every Sunday night time, I am getting an e mail from our analysis division right here at CBS Sports, and each Sunday, that e mail at all times contains some amazingly wild info about the video games that have been simply performed. 

With that during thoughts, right here are 14 loopy info about Week 11, beginning with the Lions:

  1. You do not see this on a daily basis. For the first time in NFL historical past, the Jaguars, Browns and Lions are all 7-3 or higher thru 10 video games. A large reason why for this is as a result of the Lions are 8-2 for the first time since 1962.
  2. Lions make uncommon comeback win. Going into Week 11, NFL groups have been a mixed 0-84 this season when trailing by double digits with 5 mins left to play in the fourth quarter. The Lions ended that drought by coming again from a 26-14 deficit in the ultimate 3 mins of the sport to overcome the Bears 31-26. 
  3. Pick Six king. DaRon Bland returned an interception 30 yards for a landing in opposition to Carolina, which is notable, as it was once his FOURTH pick-six of the yr, which ties the single-season report. If Bland can get yet one more decide six over the Cowboys’ ultimate seven video games, he’s going to have the report to himself
  4. Perfect Purdy. Brock Purdy completed with a great QB ranking of 158.3 in opposition to the Buccaneers, which marks the first time since 1989 {that a} 49ers QB has achieved that during a sport with no less than 15 move makes an attempt. Joe Montana completed the feat 34 years in the past throughout a 1989 season that ended with the 49ers profitable the Super Bowl. Purdy completed 21 of 25 for 333 yards and 3 touchdowns, which were given him the best ranking. 
  5. Cowboys stay blowing out unhealthy groups. With their 33-10 win over the Panthers, the Cowboys have now gained six video games this yr by 20 issues or extra, which is tied for the second-most in NFL historical past for a staff that is most effective performed 10 video games. Only two different groups had that many blow outs thru 10 video games they usually each made the Super Bowl (1999 Rams, 2007 Patriots). 
  6. Great Wall of Cleveland. Through 10 video games, the Browns protection is most effective surrendering 243.3 yards according to sport, which is the highest appearing by an NFL staff since the 2008 Steelers surrendered a median of simply 238.1 thru 10 video games. The Steelers gained the Super Bowl that yr, so I assume we mustn’t rule out that risk with the Browns. 
  7. Steelers nonetheless have not cracked 400 yards. With 249 yards in opposition to the Browns, the Steelers have now didn’t hit the 400-yard mark in 58 immediately video games, which is the second-longest streak in NFL historical past. The Steelers path most effective the Raiders, who went 75 video games with out hitting 400 yards from 2005 through 2010. 
  8. Home candy house. The Dolphins have performed 5 house video games this yr and Tyreek Hill has long gone off for no less than 100 yards and one TD in each and every of the ones video games. That makes Hill the first participant to tug off that feat in NFL historical past.
  9. Close, however no cigar. The Chargers have six losses this yr and FIVE of the ones have come by 3 issues or much less. The Chargers are in a league of their very own with that stat as no different staff in the NFL has greater than two losses by 3 issues or much less. 
  10. Dolphins may get started soliciting for Kevin Harlan. Dating again to remaining season, the Dolphins are now 7-0 when they’ve the CBS pronouncing team of Kevin Harlan, Trent Green and sideline reporter Melanie Collins. If you are gazing a Dolphins sport and that team is looking it, you’ll be able to simply move forward and think that Miami goes to win. 
  11. Someone inform Justin Fields to prevent operating. The Bears QB rushed for 104 yards in Chicago’s misplaced to Detroit, which is most effective notable, as a result of the Bears are now 0-5 when Fields tops the 100-yard mark. That ties the NFL report for the maximum consecutive staff losses when a participant rushes for 100 yards or extra in NFL historical past. 
  12. Jets are in an offensive drought. The Jets are the first staff since 2009 with fewer than 10 offensive touchdowns (9) thru 10 staff video games. Fourteen years in the past, the Raiders and Browns each didn’t hit 10 offensive touchdowns in 10 video games. 
  13. Commanders sack assault does not assist them win. The Commanders sacked Tommy DeVito 9 occasions on Sunday, however come what may nonetheless controlled to lose by double digits (31-19). That makes the Commanders the first staff since 1984 to lose by double digits in a sport the place in addition they recorded no less than 9 sacks. 
  14. Broncos on a ancient profitable streak. With their 21-20 win over the Vikings, the Broncos was the first staff in NFL historical past to win 3 immediately video games in opposition to groups that gained 13 video games or extra throughout the earlier season. The Broncos remaining 3 wins have come in opposition to the Chiefs (14-3 in 2022), Bills (13-3) and Vikings (13-4). 

The Broncos are if truth be told on a four-game profitable streak, because of this they come what may these days have the longest profitable streak in the NFL. 

Now, we’re going to end issues right here with the highest stat of Week 11: 

If Ron Rivera wasn’t on the scorching seat prior to, I believe like he’s now after losing to a QB whose mother nonetheless makes his mattress and chefs his rooster cutlets. DeVito had 3 landing passes in New York’s 31-19 win over the Commanders, which is greater than Daniel Jones had in six begins this season.
