LET’S HEAR YOUR STORY
The Philadelphia Eagles won, as everyone figured going into Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. But there are probably more questions about the Eagles after the win than there were beforehand.
First of all, any win in the NFL is good and the Eagles showed a lot of heart to pull this one off. They hadn't won when trailing by 10 or more points going into the fourth quarter since beating the New York Giants in 2010, according to CBS. That was the famous DeSean Jackson punt return game, the "Miracle at the New Meadowlands" game. The Eagles trailed by 10 going into the fourth quarter Sunday and found a way to steal a 17-16 win.
Here are the rest of the winners and losers from Week 11 of the NFL season:
WINNERS
Derek Carr, Davante Adams and Josh McDaniels: The Las Vegas Raiders' season isn't going to be saved, but it's always nice to win.
Last week Carr stood at the podium breaking down emotionally after another loss. It had to be a good feeling for him to win 22-16 in overtime at the Denver Broncos.
It had to be a great feeling for McDaniels, the former Broncos head coach, who was about a minute from another loss and being on really thin ice.
After the Broncos couldn't end the game with a first down, Carr hit Josh Jacobs on a long pass to set up a game-tying field goal just before the end of regulation. In overtime, Adams was wide open and caught a 35-yard walk-off touchdown.
It has been a miserable season and there has been a lot of speculation about what happens next in Las Vegas. A win gives the Raiders a short reprieve from all of that.
Tee Higgins: With Ja’Marr Chase out for a few weeks with a hip injury, the Cincinnati Bengals needed their 1B receiver to step up.
LOSERS
That Vikings bandwagon: One loss doesn’t erase everything Minnesota has done. It's still 8-2 and on its way to an NFC North championship.
Still, anyone who was thinking the Vikings were a Super Bowl contender probably doesn’t think so anymore.
The Vikings were blasted by the Dallas Cowboys 40-3 on Sunday. The Cowboys are a good team (one loss to the Packers didn’t change that), and they looked like the Super Bowl contender on Sunday. Tony Pollard was fantastic, Ezekiel Elliott plowed through for a couple of touchdowns and the defense wouldn’t let Kirk Cousins breathe. It was impressive.
The Vikings are still good. Probably just not great. And they definitely don’t want to see Dallas again in the playoffs.
The Rams' miserable season gets worse: The 1999 Denver Broncos set the record for most losses by a reigning Super Bowl champ. They went 6-10. The Los Angeles Rams already have seven losses.
The Rams are a bad team that is being decimated by injuries. That's a bad combination. They lost quarterback Matthew Stafford, who has been getting pounded all season, to an injury in the second half. The New Orleans Saints took advantage of that and cruised to a 27-20 win.
Daniel Jones and the New York Giants: You had to know that the Giants would blow a game they had no business losing.
That happened Sunday. The Detroit Lions won their third in a row behind Jamaal Williams' big day. Williams scored three touchdowns in the 31-18 win. The Giants are still in good shape at 7-3 but it would have been good for them to keep the momentum going heading into a Thanksgiving game at the Dallas Cowboys.
Zach Wilson: There's a long way to go for the New York Jets to know for sure what they have in Wilson. He's in only his second season. It's just hard to believe that a quarterback who could look so bad on Sunday could end up being a good NFL QB.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
