We know that the Indianapolis Colts came away with a win against the Jets and what took place in that game. But what else happened around the rest of the AFC South in Week 11?
The Jacksonville Jaguars were again without Trevor Lawrence and found themselves on the road against the Detroit Lions, who cruised to a dominant 52-6 victory.
Jared Goff was lights out against the Jacksonville defense, completing 24-of-29 passes for 412 yards with four touchdown and he didn’t even play most of the fourth quarter.
Mac Jones, meanwhile, would throw for only 138 yards on 29 attempts with an interception. The Jaguars’ run game would average just 2.4 yards per attempt as well.
The Houston Texans would get back on track following two-straight losses to the Dak Prescott-less Cowboys. Houston jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead and piled on two takeaways against Dallas.
Running back Joe Mixon led the way with 109 rushing yards and three touchdowns, while CJ Stroud threw for 257 yards with an interception. Since Dallas was trailing by multiple scores early, it forced them to become one-dimensional, with Cooper Rush throwing the ball a whopping 55 times, which isn’t going to be a recipe for success.
Lastly, the Tennessee Titans would lose at home 13-23 to the Minnesota Vikings. Quarterback Sam Darnold bounced back against the Titans after two interception-filled games, throwing for 246 yards with three total touchdowns.
Will Levis would put up 295 passing yards on only 17 completions, but points were hard to come by for the Tennessee offense. Levis would throw an interception as well and the Titans mustered only one red zone visit, which did not result in a touchdown. Tennessee would rush for just 33 yards in this game, again, not a recipe for success.
