Lions’ offense is historically great, and what else we’re learning in Week 11

FOX Sports’ NFL experts provide the biggest takeaways from every Sunday game in Week 11 and what they mean for each team going forward.

Packers: Jordan Love has had his problems with turnovers in 2024, but Sunday was an example of what he can do to put a team on his back and pull out a close win. His 60-yard pass to Christian Watson late in the game was more on the receiver, who made a diving catch and got back up to run for big yardage, but Love followed with two scrambles for the go-ahead touchdown.

The Bears definitely let Caleb Williams use his legs more — 60 yards rushing in the first half, plus safe passes that led to a high completion rate and no turnovers. Chicago had averaged 9 points per game in the previous three games, so 19 points is a relative explosion.
