Week 11 featured a trio of Monday games with all three first place teams placing. All three won to keep their places atop their division. Boston defeated Denver, Michigan dispatched with New Jersey, and Oakland won a defensive battle against Washington. With seven weeks left in the season, the cream is starting to rise to the top of the league and the playoff picture is becoming more clear.

Before those games, Birmingham ketp a midseason hot streak going by defeating the Los Angeles express. Tampa Bay continued a frustratingly inconsistent season by defeating hapless Arizona. In the other Sunday game, Chicago kept pace with Michigan. If they can just figure out a way to beat the Panthers, they’re the favorites to win the title this year.
