It's been a relentless, exhausting week of NFL action, and we've not even got to the big one yet. All eyes are on Los Angeles for the Rams and Chiefs' monster showdown on Monday Night Football, but the rest of the league served up one hell of an appetiser on Sunday. All but two of week 11's games were decided by a single score with game-winning field goals and unlikely comebacks galore.

Here's what we learned in a week which solidified the Saints' Super Bowl credentials, put the Steelers into position for a first round bye and sowed seeds of doubt into the minds of Chargers, Panthers and Redskins fans.

The Bears' defense will carry them into January

The Bears defense was at its dominant best, making Kirk Cousins and the Vikings offense a non-factor until it was too late. The eventual 25-20 scoreline flatters Minnesota, who were totally dominated by Chicago in the first half. Khalil Mack was the very best version of himself, sacking Cousins once and also forcing a fumble, but it was Eddie Jackson's pick six that really put the Bears in the ascendancy. This defense may not be the league's best according to the stats, but their ability to make huge, game-winning plays makes them one of the most dangerous units in all of football.
