The NFL season is flying by with exciting games and performances happening every week. Week 11 is another opportunity for teams to prove themselves and come up with big wins.

Here’s what to watch for in week 11:

1. Divison rivalry at play in Jets vs. Patriots

This is a big game for the AFC East standings. The AFC East has been highly competitive this season with all 4 teams being over .500. Could all of the make the playoffs? It certainly is possible, but it has never happened before. A win for either team would be huge for their playoff hopes and a loss could derail their season. Expect a fun, tight game as these two teams both need a win.

2. No snowbowl in Buffalo as Bills vs Browns moves to Detroit

This game was initially scheduled to be played in Buffalo, but a massive snowstorm has forced the game to be moved to Detroit. It’ll be a neutral site for both teams. It’s also a big game for the Bills, who’ve lost two in a row and are no longer in first in the AFC East. The Bills might just extend their stay as they next play Detroit Lions in the Motor City on Thursday Night Football in Week 12.

NFL officially is moving the Browns-Bills game out of Buffalo and to Ford Field in Detroit, where it will be played Sunday at 1 pm.

Bills will play two straight games in Detroit: against the Browns, then on Thanksgiving vs. the Lions.

3. Its in Mexico City, a rematch of 49ers vs. Cardinals

Another big matchup between two division rivals, and a rematch of the first regular season game in Mexico City back in 2007. Both teams are trying to catch the surprising Seahawks but a win here could propel their season forward. The 49ers have won two in a row and the Cardinals have been up and down all season long. It's Monday Night Football at the fabled Azteca.

4. Mahomes vs. Herbert, two top QB's on display in Chiefs vs. Chargers

This might just be the game of the weekend. Two of the top quarterbacks in the game in Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert will square off in what should be a high-scoring game. Both these teams rank in the top in passing yards and it’s the primetime game on Sunday Night Football. They are also division rivals making the stakes even higher.

5. Can the Eagles bounce back against the resurgent Colts?

The Eagles are coming off their first loss of the season and the Colts are coming off a win in their first game coached by Jeff Saturday. These two teams are in different spots but have interesting storylines entering this game. It’ll be interesting to see if the Eagles can bounce back or if the Colts can build off the momentum of their first win with Saturday.
