1. PUTRID PACKERS: Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are looking for answers that aren’t there. The Packers returned to FedEx Field on Sunday in a much different place than the team that won a playoff game there in January.

2. PLAYOFF PICTURE: The Lions moved into the third seed in the NFC, and the Raiders claimed the second spot in the AFC without even playing yet this week. Here’s where the playoff picture and standings are as of Monday morning.
3. KICKERS WERE BAD THIS WEEK: NFL kickers can’t stop missing extra points in Week 11. It’s an epidemic! Kickers missed a record 12 extra point attempts on Sunday.
4. THE WEEK HOPE DIED: A.J. Green’s injury was a devastating loss for the Bengals and fans everywhere. It also came on a weekend where hopes were extinguished across the NFL.
5. ROMO TO THE BRONCOS? Tony Romo could be another Peyton Manning for the Broncos. With Romo’s future in Dallas looking dimmer every week, one high-profile landing spot emerges.
6. ANOTHER BIG WIN FOR DAK AND DALLAS: Dak Prescott delivered a win for the history books on Sunday. Against the Ravens, Dak Prescott passed for more than 300 yards, completed three quarters of his passes and threw three touchdowns. That 300 - 3/4 - 3 trifecta is a rare statistical milestone.
7. SEAHAWKS ROLLING: Seahawks get a key 26-15 conference win that's overshadowed by injuries. After three straight games finished with dramatic throws to the end zone, the Seahawks put away the Eagles early, but in no less impressive fashion. Unfortunately, C.J. Prosise suffered scapula injury and is expected to be out up to eight weeks.
8. RAMS RUINED: Dolphins take advantage of Rams’ 7-9 bulls**t for a comeback win. They played horrendously for three quarters, and still won. Jeff Fisher is four losses away from being the biggest loser in NFL history. "Seven and nine bullshit" isn’t just a saying. It’s a way of life.
9. MEET FAT ROB: Robert Kelley, aka “Fat Rob,” is feasting in Washington’s offense. Washington needs to feed Robert “Fat Rob” Kelley if the team hopes to make the playoffs.
10. THE BROWNS MADE EVERYONE MAD: Browns fans showered field with trash after the team gave the Steelers two free chances to score. Cleveland couldn’t get out of its own way and basically handed Pittsburgh seven points before halftime. Terrelle Pryor is mad that they can't protect their quarterbacks.
