Winners of the Week, Week 11

Hi, here is my weekly winners of the week post:

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Keenan Allen, WR, Chargers
Statline: 12 receptions, 159 yards, 2 TDs
What a way to bounce back. Allen has been slow this season but he looked like the true WR1 he's supposed to be this week as the Chargers whopped the Bills. Allen went off! First of all, 12 receptions in an insane amount. When a player ends with 6 receptions in seems like he's getting the ball every play, but multiply that by 2 and you realize Allen had one of the best receiving games of the year. Allen was used as a huge threat this past week for the Chargers and this might mean the Chargers could be trending upward if Allen can play like this. Keenan Allen had a bounce back week that lead him to over 10 catches, 150+ yards, and 2 TDs. A dream game for any player, especially a WR. His efforts win him his first player of the week award on my blog.

TEAM OF THE WEEK: New Orleans Saints (8-2)
Final Score: Saints 34, Redskins 31 (OT)
The Saints look like a top 5 Super Bowl contender and they have finally won their first team of the week award on my blog. The Saints had a great game. Playing a hot Redskins team, they knew they would have to play well to win and they DID! The Saints won their 8th game in a row. At one point, they were down 16, then they came back in the end to beat the Redskins in overtime and secure their 8th in a row. Their offense played awesome. Drew Brees is still playing like an elite QB even though some say he is regressing with his age. The Mark Ingram, Alvin Kamara one two punch has no questioned become the best RB duo in the league. Ingram capitalizing on the ground and Kamara doing the same but adding an asset in the passing game. Their D played as well as it has this year too. Even though they did let up a big start for the Redskins, they contained them in the end and ended with a decent performance. The sky is the limit for the white hot Saints and I think its time we not only start calling them Super Bowl contenders, but my blogs TEAM OF THE WEEK!
