NFL schedule and results: Complete coverage of Week 11

There’s a lot of rainwater -- hopefully just rainwater -- on the field in Oakland:

Be careful out there.

Hello, bird. You appear to be a seagull.

It’s cool, we get it. We’re not really sure why we’re watching, either.

It rained a lot in Oakland today. The field is muddy. Andre Holmes got muddy:

Is ... uh ... is some of that poop? Because last time there was poop.

The Pittsburgh Steelers took down the Tennessee Titans under the bright lights of Monday Night Football, 27-24. It didn’t take long for Pittsburgh to get on the board, as William Gay managed to pick off Zach Mettenberger’s first pass of the game and take it back 28 yards for a touchdown.

But it was a back-and-forth close one throughout, with Pittsburgh relying on a comeback to take a late lead and the victory. Ben Roethlisberger didn’t have an amazing day, and was sacked five times. He finished with 207 yards and an interception, but running back Le’Veon Bell was once again the offensive MVP, rushing for 204 yards off of 33 carries, with a touchdown and another 18 yards receiving.

The Colts RB left Lucas Oil Field last night on crutches and wearing a boot on his left ankle, and reports later confirmed it was fractured. Bradshaw injured the ankle on a goal-line run in the second half of the Colts’ loss to New England last night, twisting the joint awkwardly while being tackled, and he was sent immediately to the locker room for further evaluation. In his absence, Trent Richardson’s role will expand in the Indianapolis offense, which has struggled most of the season to muster a running game to complement Andrew Luck’s aerial attack.

The severity of and prognosis for recovery for ankle sprains are often a source of confusion, primarily due to misunderstanding over what exactly the different “grades” of sprains actually mean. In brief:

Here’s what we know about the DEA investigation so far and what it might mean for players, teams and the NFL going forward.

Why is the DEA concerned with what NFL team doctors are doing?

Final stats for Sunday:

- 38 carries

- 199 yards

- Four touchdowns

- One straight right hand directly to the old beanbag

- A million lulz

The Patriots moved to 8-2 with a big win over Indianapolis on Sunday Night Football. They’ve now won six straight games since losing on Monday night to Kansas City. The Dolphins won on Thursday night over Buffalo to stay on pace for a potential wild card spot.

The Colts had a tough home loss against the New England Patriots on Sunday night, but the Texans had a much-needed win over the Cleveland Browns at home to get to .500 on the season.

Here’s what we learned.

1. Jonas Gray is leading the way for the Patriots’ rush offense.

The Denver Broncos got the NFL Sunday started off by blowing out the St. Louis Ra... wait, what? The Rams won? And they held Denver’s offense to just one touchdown and pressured Peyton Manning into two picks? Yea, Week 11 is getting weird.

Not only did the Rams beat the previously 7-2 Broncos, 22-7, but they throughly dominated the game. St. Louis built a 13-0 lead by the second quarter and, outside of a 42-yard touchdown pass to Emmanuel Sanders, shut down Manning’s scoring machine.

Then he danced. It was a beautiful dance.

Anthony Castonzo got down with his bad self after making the first touchdown catch of his career. Yes he’s been in the league four years -- yes it took that long because he’s an offensive lineman.

Nonetheless we got a fat guy dance. A good one. Thank you for this gift, Colts.

Allen has become one of Luck’s go-to pass catchers, especially working in the middle of the field. As SB Nation’s Danny Kelly highlighted earlier in the week, Allen -- who has struggled to stay healthy in his short career -- had made a huge impact on the Colts offense this season. Whether it was run-blocking or beating linebackers in coverage, Allen had been a tough matchup. With Indianapolis now playing catch-up throughout the second half, his loss will be significant.

Andrew Luck throws a touchdown, so naturally the Colts mascot picked up a giant Jimmy Fallon head to celebrate.

Let’s set aside the fact this is weird. Look, we get that Fallon is a noted Boston sports fan -- but why are you picking up a giant distracting head WHILE THE COLTS ARE KICKING?!

Here’s what we learned.

1. The Cardinals’ defense is for real.

Joique Bell is hardly a small running back. He’s 5’11, 220 pounds, and hurdled this Cardinals defender like a man half his size. Well, not half his size -- that would make him three feet tall and 110 pounds, but the point remains.

This was a 32-yard TD for Lacy, his second of the day -- one receiving, one rushing. DE Vinny Curry gets spun off, and defensive backs Malcolm Jenkins and Nolan Carroll each try to stop him at the goal line before he rolls in. That’s some mean running.

Green Bay now leads 46-13 -- 46-13! -- and this pretty much tells you all you need to know.

This Bengals fan had a very measured and calm reaction to having her ball taken. It was pretty clear Jermaine Gresham meant it for her, but the Saints fan would have none of it.

People were texting her and telling the woman to “throw more elbow,” which she wisely didn’t do. The Saints ended up finding her a football and she could go home happy. That Saints fan, well ...

Chip Kelly is rubbing his hands together because it’s cold in Green Bay, and he probably isn’t too happy about the fact that the Eagles are losing 30-3 to the Packers.

However, we’d like to imagine it is because he is in a room with somebody counting money while doves fly behind him as he looks up at a blimp saying GET YOUR SHINE ON, just like Birdman does.

The play was reviewed, and the catch was upheld, so ODB just had to show off.

Cincinnati made fewer mistakes and simply played fundamental football. On defense, the Bengals made some key stops in the red zone and on offense, they didn’t try anything overly fancy. They outgained the Saints on the offensive side of the ball and were in control after scoring a touchdown in the opening frame.

After another failed Saints drive, running back Jeremy Hill managed a 62-yard run near the end of the half, setting the Bengals up in field goal range with just one second on the clock. They kicked another field goal to go up 13-3 heading into the second half.

The Seahawks are trailing the Chiefs 17-13, and tensions are running a bit high. Ricardo Lockette took an obvious and legitimate swing at Kurt Coleman:

That’s a punch, clear as day. That was the end of his afternoon, and he probably needs some ice for that hand after punching somebody wearing a football helmet in the face, as well.
