Week 11 was intense in the league, as we saw some great football being played between some of the best NFL teams, duking it out, hoping to earn a win.
Some teams managed to earn that win while others lost in an intense battle until the end, and we were riveted by the action from the field from our stadium seats or our favorite cozy chairs. We can’t wait to see what else happens in week 12 and beyond in this wild 2024 NFL season.
Here are the grades for all 32 NFL teams after week 11.
Which NFL teams had the highest and lowest grades after week 11?
Arizona Cardinals: Bye Week
The Cardinals have been a surprise so far in the 2024 season and have done a tremendous job on all sides of the ball to earn key wins. The Cardinals look to continue their winning ways as they get prepared to square off against the Seattle Seahawks on the road.
Atlanta Falcons: D-
The Falcons had a rough afternoon in Denver, losing 6-38 against the Denver Broncos. Kirk Cousins threw an interception against no touchdowns, Bijan Robinson had 35 rushing yards, and Drake London had 61 receiving yards. On defense, the Falcons had a sack and no interceptions. It was a brutal performance on the field as the Falcons’ grip on first place in the NFC South is starting to slip.

Baltimore Ravens: C
The Ravens played a very tough neck-and-neck battle against the Pittsburgh Steelers but came up short in their 16-18 loss against their longtime rivals via a failed two-point conversion. Lamar Jackson threw a touchdown against an interception, Derrick Henry scored a rushing touchdown, Isaiah Likely had 75 receiving yards, and Zay Flowers scored a touchdown. On defense, the Ravens had four sacks and an interception from Marlon Humphrey. The Ravens did whatever they could against the Steelers, but Justin Tucker missed three field goals, which ultimately cost them the game, while Steelers kicker Chris Boswell made six field goals.
Buffalo Bills: A-
The Bills played a great game as they gave the Kansas City Chiefs their first loss of the season in a 30-21 victory in the Bills’ favor. Josh Allen threw a touchdown against an interception and scored a rushing touchdown, James Cook scored two rushing touchdowns, and Curtis Samuel scored a touchdown. On defense, the Bills had two sacks and two interceptions in the victory. The Bills played with a lot of grit and heart as they earned an impressive win over the Chiefs.
Carolina Panthers: Bye Week
The Panthers have had a rough 2024 season so far, but Bryce Young has shown some promise, while Chuba Hubbard continues to be this NFL team’s bright spot. Things can only get better from here, right? We’ll just have to wait and watch what happens in week 12 when the Panthers square off against the Kansas City Chiefs coming to town.
Chicago Bears: C
The Bears improved from their disastrous week 10 loss against the New England Patriots but fell short in a very close 19-20 loss against the Green Bay Packers. Caleb Williams threw no touchdowns or interceptions, D’Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson both scored rushing touchdowns, and Rome Odunze had 65 receiving yards. On defense, the Packers had a sack and interception. Kicker Cairo Santos almost had a game-winning kick, but his field goal attempt was blocked by the Packers’ defensive end Karl Brooks.
The Bears haven’t won against the Packers since 2018. It also may be time for head coach Matt Eberflus to start updating his resume, as a sixth straight loss doesn’t look good on anyone’s scorecard.
Cincinnati Bengals: B-
The Bengals played a very hard-fought battle against the Los Angeles Chargers but came up short in a 27-34 loss. Joe Burrow threw three touchdowns against no interceptions, Chase Brown had 86 rushing yards, Tee Higgins scored a touchdown, and Ja’Marr Chase scored two touchdowns. On defense, the Bengals had two sacks and a fumble recovery. Despite the solid performances on offense, this NFL team wasn’t able to secure the win, as Burrow threw an incomplete pass just as time expired.

Cleveland Browns: C-
The Browns had a tough afternoon on the road, falling to the New Orleans Saints 14-35. Jameis Winston threw two touchdowns against no interceptions, Nick Chubb had 50 rushing yards, and Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore both hauled in touchdowns. On defense, the Browns had a sack, a fumble recovery, and an interception. Winston may have had 395 passing yards, but his efforts in the air weren’t enough, as the Saints had too much firepower against the Browns.
Dallas Cowboys: D-
Things have not been going right for the Cowboys after Dak Prescott’s injury, as they lost a painful 10-34 game against the Houston Texans at home. Cooper Rush threw a touchdown to KaVontae Turpin against an interception, Rico Dowdle had 28 rushing yards while the rushing attack had a combined 64 yards on the ground, and CeeDee Lamb had 93 receiving yards. On defense, the Cowboys had a sack and an interception.
If the Cowboys continue to implode, Jerry Jones is going to have to make a coaching change very soon and start investing for a brighter 2025 season.
Denver Broncos: A-
Broncos fans, do you believe in Bo Nix now? He and the Broncos defeated and dismantled the Atlanta Falcons 38-6. Nix threw four touchdowns against no interceptions, Javonte Williams scored a rushing touchdown, Courtland Sutton had 78 receiving yards, and Lil’Jordan Humphrey, Marvin Mims Jr., Troy Franklin, and Nate Adkins each scored touchdowns. On defense, the Broncos had four sacks and an interception.
It was a great day for the Broncos as they look like they’re taking steps toward a positive direction. The Broncos travel to Sin City for a week 12 divisional matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Detroit Lions: A+
The Lions easily dismantled the Jacksonville Jaguars, 52-6, and could’ve had a headstart in practicing for their week 12 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Jared Goff threw four touchdowns with no interceptions, David Montgomery scored two rushing touchdowns, Jahmyr Gibbs scored a rushing touchdown, Brock Wright scored a touchdown, Jameson Williams scored a touchdown, and Amon-Ra St. Brown scored two touchdowns.
On defense, the Lions had an interception and a sack and held the Jaguars’ rushing attack to a combined 41 yards. The Lions kept their foot on the gas pedal and made quick work of the woeful Jaguars.
Green Bay Packers: B
The Packers played a very close and competitive battle against their NFC North rivals, the Chicago Bears, and won 20-19 thanks to Karl Brooks blocking Cairo Santos’ field goal attempt in the game’s final seconds. Jordan Love threw a touchdown against an interception and scored a rushing touchdown, Josh Jacobs scored a rushing touchdown, Jayden Reed scored a touchdown, and Christian Watson had 150 receiving yards.
On defense, the Packers had three sacks but no defensive turnovers. It was a great win for the Packers, as Brooks was the hero for this NFL team when it mattered the most. The Packers return home for a week 12 showdown against the San Francisco 49ers coming to town.
Houston Texans: B+
The Texans had a nice Monday night at AT&T Stadium as they defeated their in-state rivals, the Dallas Cowboys, 34-10. C.J. Stroud threw an interception against no touchdowns, Joe Mixon went off and scored three rushing touchdowns, and Tank Dell and Nico Collins both had 54 receiving yards. On defense, the Texans had five sacks, an interception from Derek Stingley Jr., and a fumble recovery from Derek Barnett, who returned it for a 28-yard touchdown. The Texans showed the Cowboys that they’re the NFL team that’ll represent the state of Texas moving forward.
Indianapolis Colts: B+
The Colts pulled a 180 on Joe Flacco and started Anthony Richardson, who helped the Colts earn a nice 28-27 win over the woeful New York Jets. Richardson threw a touchdown against no interceptions and scored two rushing touchdowns. Jonathan Taylor had 57 rushing yards, and Josh Downs scored a touchdown. On defense, the Colts had three sacks but no interceptions. It was a good afternoon for Richardson and the Colts. They earned a very close win in a very physical neck-and-neck match.
Jacksonville Jaguars: F
Where do we even begin? The Jaguars had an afternoon they would like to forget, as they were crushed 6-52 against the Detroit Lions, the biggest loss in this NFL team’s history. Mac Jones threw an interception and was sacked once, the Jaguars’ rushing attack was held to a combined 41 yards on the ground, and Brian Thomas Jr. had 82 receiving yards. On defense, the Jaguars had no interceptions or sacks. With this humiliating loss, head coach Doug Pederson’s time in Duval County is very likely over, as the Jaguars couldn’t stop the Lions on all sides of the ball.
Kansas City Chiefs: B-
The Chiefs played a hard-fought battle in Western New York against the Buffalo Bills but came up short, as they earned their first loss of the 2024 season in a 21-30 loss. Patrick Mahomes threw three touchdowns against two interceptions, Kareem Hunt had 60 rushing yards, Xavier Worthy scored a touchdown, and Noah Gray hauled in two touchdowns. On defense, the Chiefs had no sacks and had one interception.
Even though Patrick Mahomes, Worthy, and Hunt played very well, Travis Kelce and DeAndre Hopkins were nonfactors. However, Mahomes threw the game-ending interception, which gave the Bills the win.
Las Vegas Raiders: D
The Raiders had a sloppy afternoon, as they fell 19-34 against the Miami Dolphins in South Beach. Gardner Minshew threw two touchdowns against an interception, the Raiders’ rushing attack was held to a combined 60 yards on the ground, and Brock Bowers and Ameer Abdullah both scored touchdowns. On defense, the Raiders had two sacks but no interceptions. Another painful loss for the Silver and Black as penalties overshadowed the positives, and the defense couldn’t slow down the red-hot Dolphins offense.
Los Angeles Chargers: A-
The Chargers played an incredible game as they defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 34-27. Justin Herbert threw two touchdowns against no interceptions, J.K. Dobbins scored two touchdowns, Will Dissly and Quentin Johnston both scored touchdowns, and Ladd McConkey had 123 receiving yards but had a shoulder injury in the first quarter and returned to action in the second quarter. On defense, the Chargers had two sacks but no interceptions.
The Chargers have become a much better NFL team thanks to head coach Jim Harbaugh, who has changed the culture for all the right reasons. The Chargers remain home in week 12 and will welcome the Baltimore Ravens to town.
Los Angeles Rams: A-
The Rams had themselves a nice rebound game, as they defeated the New England Patriots 28-22. Matthew Stafford threw four touchdowns against no interceptions, Kyren Williams had 86 rushing yards, Puka Nacua and Colby Parkinson both scored touchdowns, and Cooper Kupp hauled in two touchdowns. On defense, the Rams had a fumble recovery, three sacks, and an interception. The Rams looked like they’d returned to form as they had a great offensive performance against the Patriots while the defense held their own against Drake Maye and company.
Miami Dolphins: B+
The Dolphins are starting to get back on track as they defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 34-19. Tua Tagovailoa threw three touchdowns against no interceptions, De’Von Achane scored a rushing touchdown, Jonnu Smith scored two touchdowns, and Tyreek Hill scored a touchdown. On defense, the Dolphins had three sacks and an interception. Having Tua Tagovailoa back has helped the Dolphins revive their offense as they try to claw their way back into the AFC East standings.
Minnesota Vikings: B+
The Vikings played a much better game in week 11, as they defeated the Tennessee Titans 23-13. Sam Darnold threw two touchdowns with no interceptions and scored a rushing touchdown, Aaron Jones had 39 rushing yards, Justin Jefferson had 81 receiving yards, and Cam Akers and Jordan Addison both scored touchdowns. On defense, the Vikings had five sacks and an interception. The Vikings had to find that spark early on, which resulted in a nice win over the Titans. The Vikings return north for a road matchup against the Chicago Bears in week 12.
New England Patriots: C-
The Patriots played a competitive game against the Los Angeles Rams but came up short in a 22-28 loss at home. Drake Maye threw two touchdowns against an interception, Rhamondre Stevenson had 73 rushing yards, and Kendrick Bourne and Vederian Lowe each scored touchdowns. On defense, the Patriots had no sacks or interceptions as they failed to slow down the Rams’ offense. A tough loss for the Patriots, even though Maye has shown signs of improvement each week.
New Orleans Saints: B
The Saints had a nice afternoon at home as they defeated the Cleveland Browns 35-14. Derek Carr threw two touchdowns against no interceptions, human Swiss Army knife Taysom Hill scored three rushing touchdowns but threw an interception and lost a fumble, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Juwan Johnson each scored receiving touchdowns. On defense, the Saints had three sacks but no interceptions.
Overall, it was a great day for the Saints and Hill, who continues to amaze with his ability to be a runner and a passer, while head coach Darren Rizzi earned his second win of the season ever since taking the head coach role.
New York Giants: Bye Week
The Giants looked like a mess with Daniel Jones at the helm in week 10, but they decided to bench the struggling quarterback in favor of backup quarterback Tommy DeVito. Can DeVito help the Giants stay relevant? Who knows?
New York Jets: C+
The Jets played a good game at home and were oh-so-close to pulling off the victory. Unfortunately, the Jets lost a very close 27-28 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Aaron Rodgers threw two touchdowns with no interceptions, Breece Hall scored a rushing touchdown and a receiving touchdown, Davante Adams had 72 receiving yards, and Kenny Yeboah scored a touchdown. On defense, the Jets had two sacks and a fumble recovery. Despite the Jets’ efforts, it wasn’t enough, as Rodgers was sacked in the final seconds of the game, which gave the Colts the win.
Philadelphia Eagles: A-
The Eagles started their divisional matchup against the Washington Commanders slowly, as they were down 3-7 at halftime. However, they brought the hammer down in the fourth quarter and won out 26-18. Jalen Hurts didn’t throw any touchdown passes, but he did score a rushing touchdown. Saquon Barkley scored two rushing touchdowns, and A.J. Brown had 65 receiving yards.
On defense, the Eagles had three sacks and an interception, and the Eagles’ secondary made things miserable for the Commanders’ passing attack. A great night for the Eagles as they showed their dominance and why they deserve to have first place in the NFC East.
Pittsburgh Steelers: C+
The Steelers played a very competitive battle against the Baltimore Ravens and came away with the 18-16 win, thanks to Chris Boswell kicking six field goals. Russell Wilson threw an interception with no touchdowns, Najee Harris had 63 rushing yards, and George Pickens had 89 receiving yards. On defense, the Steelers had two sacks, an interception, and two fumble recoveries. The Steelers may not have scored a single touchdown, but Boswell and this NFL team’s fierce defense kept them in the game and earned the win as a result.
San Francisco 49ers: C
The 49ers played a very close and competitive game against their NFC West rivals, the Seattle Seahawks, but came up short in a 17-20 loss at home. Brock Purdy threw a touchdown against an interception and scored a rushing touchdown, Christian McCaffrey had 79 rushing yards, and Jauan Jennings hauled in a touchdown. On defense, the 49ers had four sacks and an interception. The 49ers were without tight end George Kittle, as he was out due to a hamstring injury, and not having him on the field affected the outcome.
Seattle Seahawks: B
The Seahawks re-emerged from their bye week and got their revenge against the San Francisco 49ers in a very close 20-17 win. Geno Smith threw an interception and scored a rushing touchdown, Kenneth Walker III scored a rushing touchdown, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba had 110 receiving yards. On defense, the Seahawks had two sacks and an interception. A good afternoon for the Seahawks as they earned the win and climbed out of fourth place in the NFC West… for now.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Bye Week
The Bucs need to find a way to turn things around fast, as they return to action in week 12 and get set to square off against the New York Giants on the road. The Good news for the Bucs is that Mike Evans was spotted back at practice, which is a sign of relief for the Bucs’ passing attack.
Tennessee Titans: D
The Titans had some good moments in their battle against the Minnesota Vikings but came up short in a 13-23 loss. Will Levis threw a touchdown against an interception, the Titans’ rushing attack was nonexistent, Calvin Ridley had 58 receiving yards, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine scored a touchdown.
On defense, the Titans had two sacks and a fumble recovery. Although Will Levis was able to connect with Westbrook-Ikhine in the third quarter, throwing an interception and getting sacked five times didn’t help the Titans, nor did their rushing attack, which was shut down by the Vikings’ defense.
Washington Commanders: C-
The Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles clashed on Thursday Night Football and saw the latter up 7-3 at halftime, but the Commanders lost the lead in the fourth quarter as the Eagles’ offense dropped the hammer and defeated them 18-26. Jayden Daniels threw a touchdown against an interception, Brian Robinson Jr. scored a rushing touchdown, and former Philadelphia Eagle Zach Ertz scored a touchdown near the end of the game.
On defense, the Commanders had two sacks and were outplayed by the Eagles’ offense in the fourth quarter. The Eagles showed the Commanders that they needed to make some adjustments if they wanted to reclaim control of the NFC East.
