Bears Make Statement, Luck For MVP, And More!
A two-point conversion gone wrong, a Cowboys revival, NFC North slugfest, and Lamar Jackson highlighted a fun-filled Sunday of the NFL before we hit the annual Thanksgiving mark.
Injuries were also a big part of Week 11 as Alex Smith’s broken leg injury now compromises the Washington Redskins chances of winning the division.
Or does it?
Backup quarterback Colt McCoy resurrected the Redskins offense from the dead against the Houston Texans in the second half, guiding Washington to a 21-20 lead in the fourth quarter after Adrian Peterson scored his second touchdown of the game.
It wouldn’t be enough, however, as the Texans hung on to win their seventh straight game. Now, the Redskins must travel to Dallas on Thanksgiving for a pivotal matchup with the Cowboys, who took down the Atlanta Falcons 22-19 on Sunday.
That matchup will go a long way towards determining who wins the NFC East, as the Redskins already hold a victory over Dallas.
With that said, here are my takeaways from Week 11 of the NFL season.
Jackson, Defense Paces Bears To Win Over Minnesota
The Chicago Bears have been riding their defense for much of this season and on Sunday night under the bright lights, that was the case once again in a key divisional matchup.
The Chicago Bears held off the Minnesota Vikings 25-20 on Sunday night at Soldier Field to take control of the NFC North race.
In a game with both defenses making plays to get their offenses the football, it was Chicago’s that made the bigger plays. Eddie Jackson of the Chicago Bears returned a game-breaking interception in the fourth quarter for a touchdown and the Bears defense got after Kirk Cousins in the win.
Minnesota’s success from a season ago didn’t go unnoticed. The Chicago Bears looked at this game as a test for themselves against a team that finished 13-3 last season, won the NFC North in a landslide and finished with home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs.
On Sunday night Matt Nagy’s Bears hit the Vikings early and often, establishing a physical presence that did more than match Minnesota’s, who were coming off a bye week.
The new and improved attitude and swagger of the Windy city team was exhibited in coach Matt Nagy going for two 2-point conversions during the game, both of which Mitchell Trubisky and the Chicago Bears converted that went a long way towards giving the Bears the victory.
The Vikings were limited to 268 total yards of offense, getting shutout in the first half and held without a touchdown until the 4:51 mark of the fourth quarter.
Minnesota’s defense did well to keep the team in the game as they forced Mitchell Trubisky and the Bears into three turnovers, two of which were interceptions by cornerback Anthony Harris, but they were not enough to make up for Minnesota’s offense running into a brick wall most of the night in Khalil Mack and the Bears third ranked defense.
The Chicago Bears (7-3) proved in their win against Minnesota that they are indeed the team to beat in the NFC North and that they’ll have to be dealt with come playoff time.
Saints Finish Off Eagles With Emphatic Blowout
Stick a fork in em’. They’re done, courtesy of a Bayou slaughter.
The New Orleans Saints overmatched and battered the Philadelphia Eagles 48-7 on Sunday afternoon at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome to win their ninth consecutive game.
The offensive brilliance continued for the Saints as Drew Brees threw for 363 passing yards and four touchdowns in the win.
Mark Ingram would finish with 103 rushing yards and two touchdowns while Alvin Kamara finished with 108 total yards from scrimmage and a touchdown.
It was a hard game to watch if you were a Philadelphia Eagles fan, who now have to wonder if this 4-6 team has any life left in their season after suffering the worst loss by a Super Bowl champion since the merger.
The secondary was torn to shreds by the Saints offense, with rookie wide receiver Tre’Quan Smith going for a career-high 10 receptions and 157 receiving yards with a touchdown after recording only eight catches for 85 yards in the previous four games.
Nothing may have been more discouraging on the day then watching the Eagles captain on defense, safety Malcolm Jenkins, targeted on a 4th down play with the Saints already up 31 points in the fourth quarter and having that play go for a 37-yard touchdown by Alvin Kamara.
Carson Wentz tied a career-high with three interceptions as he played arguably the worst game of his young NFL career in his first game at the Superdome.
The Eagles are going backwards despite adding Golden Tate to the offense a few weeks ago and have now seen the Cowboys jumped them in the standings while holding a tiebreaker over them after last week’s 27-20 win in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia has lost it’s edge, and Doug Pederson knows that. The injuries on defense and the porous offensive line are both proving to be this team’s undoing in 2018.
A shellacking at the hands of the NFL’s best team proves how far away they are from being where they were 9 months ago.
Steelers Overcome Second Half Hole To Shock Jaguars
Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers played awful offensively for much of the game, with flashbacks to last season likely crashing down on the team.
In the end, though, the Steelers gritted their way to victory.
The Pittsburgh Steelers overcame a 16-point deficit in the second half to stun the Jacksonville Jaguars 20-16 at TIAA Bank Field to win their sixth consecutive game.
Ben Roethlisberger recovered from three interceptions over the first three quarters to help guide Pittsburgh to the come-from-behind win, throwing for two touchdowns and running for the game-winner from the one-yard line with five seconds to go in the game.
The Steelers struggled against the run in the first half and gave up a touchdown in the third quarter to fall behind 16-0 after limiting the Jaguars to three field goals in the first half.
Roethlisberger would hit Antonio Brown on a 78-yard touchdown following Jacksonville’s touchdown. He would would later in the fourth quarter throw another to Vance McDonald to trim Jacksonville’s lead to three points.
Trailing 16-13 with 1:43 to go following another Pittsburgh Steelers stop on defense, Roethlisberger marched the team down the field, hitting JuJu Smith-Schuster on a big 35-yard reception before finding Antonio Brown on a 25-yard strike on 3rd and 10 over star cornerback Jalen Ramsey to get Pittsburgh down to the Jaguars two-yard line before scoring on a touchdown run.
The reeling Jacksonville Jaguars, who lost their sixth consecutive game, shot themselves in the foot with countless penalties and a lack of continuity on offense through the air, with the defense doing more than bend in the second half after nursing a 16-point lead.
For Pittsburgh, it’s a win on a bad day offensively, their worst since a Week 4 loss to the Baltimore Ravens where they scored only 14 points.
They are currently running away with the AFC North at 7-2-1 on the season now.
Luck Throws His Way Into MVP Discussion
Two months ago, it was hard to tell if Andrew Luck would ever return to the form we once saw prior to his right shoulder injury.
Fast forward to now, Andrew Luck has fully recovered, and he’s got the Colts thinking about a possible playoff run.
The Indianapolis Colts dominated the Tennessee Titans in a 38-10 victory at Lucas Oil Stadium to win their fourth straight game.
Andrew Luck threw for 297 passing yards and three touchdowns as he improved to 10-0 lifetime against the Tennessee Titans.
It was a key divisional victory for the Indianapolis Colts, who a week after sliding past the Jacksonville Jaguars at home won in more convincing fashion here.
The Tennessee Titans (5-5) were coming off one of their biggest regular-season victories in years in a dominant 34-10 victory over the New England Patriots.
Boy do things change fast.
Not only were they completely outclassed in Indianapolis on Sunday, they had their hopes at a division title damaged as they fell into third place in the division with a road game in Houston set for next Monday night.
Damaging their division hopes and playoff hopes even more is a injury to Marcus Mariota, who left the game after a hit late in the first half.
While Mariota’s injury has been deemed a stinger, chances are if the Titans have to turn to Blaine Gabbert the team’s chances to make the playoffs will evaporate. Gabbert finished 11-for-18 for 118 passing yards with one touchdown and a interception, but his track record shows he’s not a capable starting quarterback.
For Indianapolis, this offense is explosive and the defense is as good as it’s been in years. The Colts are running the football with Marlon Mack and Jordan Wilkins and Luck has at least three touchdowns over his last seven games.
The Colts are rolling, with a schedule the rest of the way that looks favorable as they face only one above .500 team over their final six games.

Knicks Can’t Defend Magic In Amway
You didn’t miss anything different from the New York Knicks if you just so happened to skip Sunday’s game in favor of the NFL.
The Orlando Magic blitzed the New York Knicks 131-117 on Sunday evening at Amway Arena to send the Knicks to a fifth consecutive loss.
The Knicks couldn’t slow talented and athletic Magic forward Aaron Gordon, who scored a team-high 31 points in 29 minutes of action as the Magic beat the Knicks for the second time in eight days.
Nikola Vucevic flirted with a triple double for Orlando as he recorded 28 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists.
Orlando jumped out to a blistering start with 44 points in the opening period as they opened up a 13-point lead at home over the visitors after one.
The Knicks battled back in the second quarter and sliced Orlando’s margin to one by halftime as they went into the locker room trailing 67-66 after a dreadful first quarter of defense.
While the game would remain competitive the rest of the way, Orlando played with a comfortable lead throughout as Gordon and Vucevic paced the team while the Magic hit 13 3-pointers on the night.
Tim Hardaway Jr. cracked the 30-point plateau for the second time in as many games as he scored 32 points off the bench for New York.
Trey Burke would also have a big night as he scored 31 points in 29 minutes of action.
Hardaway Jr. came off the bench for the first time this season as coach David Fizdale opted to go small in this one, inserting Mario Hezonja and Allonzo Trier into the starting lineup.
The bench would outpace the starters by a wide margin in this one as Allonzo Trier and Mitchell Robinson combined to play only 22 minutes.
Whether that becomes a trend or not remains to be seen, but the Knicks defense was as listless in this one as they were last Sunday in a 115-89 loss to Orlando at the Garden.
Five consecutive losses ties their season-high to this point as they drop to 4-13 on the season.
The New York Knicks will return home to welcome the visiting Portland Trail Blazers to Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night.

Celebrities from all over took to social media to express their deepest condolences and shared memories with 47-year-old model and actress, Kim Porter, who died suddenly in her home Thursday morning.
According to PEOPLE, LA County Sheriff made a statement to reporters saying Officers reported to Porters home to respond to a death investigation at around 11:40 am in Toluca Lake, California, where they found Kim Porter unresponsive at the scene. Though her cause of death is currently undetermined at the moment, the emergency dispatch call came in as a cardiac arrest and sources have come out stating that Porter had been ill with pneumonia for weeks.
Porter leaves behind four children who she shares with both music mogul, Sean Combs and singer, Al B Sure. Her eldest child with Al B Sure, who was also raised by P-Diddy, Quincy, is 27 years old and has taken after his mothers acting career. Quincy has starred in a number of movies and shows like Brotherly Love and the Fox show Star. Her three youngest children who she shares with the Bad Boy Records entrepreneur are Christian Combs, 20, and two twin daughters, D’Lila Star and Jessie James Combs, 12.
Both Al B Sure and Diddy took to social media to address the death of the mother of their children. Diddy broke his silence three days after the death of Porter.
Al B Sure dedicated a photo to the mother of his child making reference to a song he wrote for Porter when she was pregnant with their son Quincy. The song is titled Forever My Lady which Sure wrote for the group Jodeci.
Diddy paid tribute by posting a video of an Essence shoot the couple did together to embody black love, while the model was pregnant with their twin girls, along with a heartwarming post stating that the two were more than just soulmates and bestfriends. Though the couple were on and off again during their 13 year relationship, they still remained close friends and co-parents. In an interview with Essence the model stated “we’re friends. I’m the person he can tell his innermost thoughts to and he’s that person for me. He still calls me every day and we talk.”
A number of friends of Porters have also taken to social media over the past three days to show their support and love for the family, as well as share stories of how deeply the model has touched their lives for the better. See posts below to see just how much the model influenced and had an impact on the lives of many.

![[ENTERTAINMENT] ‘AMERICAN HORROR STORY: APOCALYPSE’ FULL SEASON REVIEW](https://i0.wp.com/sloppyvinyl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/ahs-full-season-rottentomatoes.jpg?resize=700%2C380&ssl=1)
by sloppyvinyl | Nov 18, 2018 | Entertainment
We survived the apocalypse! With the eighth season of “American Horror Story” completed, it’s Judgment Day for “Apocalypse.” It had a lot of really amazing elements and some subpar plotlines that, in my opinion, knocked the season down a few pegs. Without further ado, let’s dive into the good and the bad of “American Horror Story: Apocalypse.”
THE GOOD
MULTI-LEVEL CROSSOVER
This season of “American Horror Story” brought fans back to where the series began, Murder House.

Going back to Murder House, the setting of “AHS’s” inaugural season, was undeniably one of the highlights of “Apocalypse.” Since Season 1’s finale, fans have been speculating what became of Constance (Jessica Lange) and her murderous grandson, the toddler Antichrist. While we’ve been following Langdon’s (Cody Fern) journey since the first episode of “Apocalypse” it was amazing to return to where it all began and find out what the characters of “Murder House” have been up to since 2011. Lange, who promised she was done with “AHS” after Season 4, brought the house down with an insanely powerful performance. No one can monologue like Jessica Lange!
It was also great to see the witches back, even if they were mostly underutilized, but one of the surprising elements of “Apocalypse” was that it was also a “Hotel” crossover. While we’ve known that Seasons 1, 3 and 5 all take place within the same universe, there was no reference that the Hotel Cortez would be featured in the eighth season. Queenie (Gabourey Sidibe) sitting in a hotel room, playing cards with James Patrick March (Evan Peters) was one of the best surprises of the season. I wish Ryan Murphy would do more things like this, instead of spoiling the majority of the season’s twists via his social media.
MYRTLE SNOW

The red-haired, quirky witch Myrtle Snow (Frances Conroy) was a big part of Season 3 “Coven”, but she really shined in “Apocalypse.” Conroy was somehow able to play the witch, who in theory should come off as ridiculous and campy, with a level of seriousness that quickly made her a fan favorite. Can you think of anyone else who’d be able to play the Theremin, vape and deliver lines like “My hair is an eternal mystery, never to be fully understood,” without sounding ridiculous? Frances Conroy, that’s who!
MICHAEL LANGDON
Michael Langdon, the second coming of the Antichrist, was played brilliantly by “American Horror Story” newcomer Cody Fern.

It can’t be argued that “AHS” newcomer Cody Fern didn’t crush it this season as the Antichrist himself, Michael Langdon. With his long blonde wig, piercing eyes and strangely soothing voice (watching the show, you’d never know he has an Australian accent in real life), he was wonderfully cast as the season’s main antagonist. While I didn’t find him to be scary, I feel as though he was a pretty accurate depiction of what the Spawn of Satan would be like, especially in the “AHS” universe. He was also able to seamlessly transform from an all-powerful being to a prepubescent child stuck in an adult’s body. I expect he’ll be back in future seasons because he was one of the best elements of “Apocalypse.”
THE NUCLEAR BOMBS

It happened early in the season, but I thought the depiction of the build-up as nuclear bombs are dropped was downright anxiety-inducing. This is the kind of thing “AHS” does best. The writers play on our fears that are brewing just below the surface. This was also one of the few genuinely scary moments in the show’s history that doesn’t feature anything paranormal (until we find out that the Antichrist planned it), which makes it ring all the more terrifyingly true.
MADISON MONTGOMERY
Emma Roberts returns as her “Coven” character Madison Montgomery, this time with added depth.

Emma Roberts has always been hit or miss. She’s great at playing the sassy, mean character, but there are few other roles in which she’s excelled. In “Apocalypse” her character, the quick-witted and loose-tongued Madison Montgomery was brought back from Hell to fight against Langdon, and the season was made much better for it. In “Coven” Madison was sassy and mean to almost everyone. While she still has her signature tone in “Apocalypse,” it seems as though spending years in Hell did a number on her, because she gave one of the more nuanced performances this season. While I couldn’t describe her character as “nice” it became clear that she wanted to be a better person and actually cared about the future of the Coven, which could not be said for her in Season 3.
THE BAD
FLASHBACK STRUCTURE

The flashback itself wasn’t inherently bad, but the fact that this season was called “Apocalypse” and the second half took place almost exclusively before the apocalypse seems silly. I enjoyed some elements of Langdon’s backstory, but it definitely should have been condensed into one or two episodes. There’s no reason we needed to spend so much time seeing his rise to power, and we certainly didn’t need to spend so much time with the Coconut Head robotic engineers (Evan Peters and Billy Eichner in the worst wigs I’ve ever seen) as they build his robotic companion. It just didn’t work and got old after a few episodes.
I was expecting more exploration of the post-apocalyptic world, but instead got multiple episodes detailing Langdon’s path towards the end of the world. With “Apocalypse” in the title, is that too much to ask?
I almost think it would have been better to call this season “Coven 2” and let it play out linearly, letting the nuclear bombs drop around Episode 6 or 7. I feel like that would’ve been more shocking, and we wouldn’t have had to wait three episodes for the witches to appear.
ROBOT KATHY BATES
Kathy Bates, as always, gives a chilling and horrific performance in this season of “AHS,” even if she’s stuck with an unnecessary plotline as a robot.
Photo courtesy of mashable.com
Kathy Bates is an amazing actress, especially when she’s playing an evil character, which is why “AHS” is a perfect fit for her. Miss Mead, her “Apocalypse” character, certainly gave her the opportunity to express her darker side, but the “twist” (if you could even call it a twist) was pretty weak. At the end of Episode 3, it was revealed that Mead was, in fact, a robot. This just seemed like one of the writers had binged “Westworld” and wanted to include it, but overall it seemed silly to me.
As the season went on and we got deeper into the flashbacks, we saw the real character that the robot was based on, and that was genuinely one of Bates’ better roles on the series. She was able to play up Mead’s creepy and Satanic vibes without seeming farcical. I just wished they had left her as a Satanist and didn’t bother making her a discount version of Dolores from “Westworld.” Although I can’t lie, her machine-gun arm was pretty cool.
ANTICLIMACTIC FINALE

All season, Langdon was hyped up to be this big, bad unstoppable force. So how do the witches finally kill him in the finale? They just run him over with a car. All season I was hoping for a big battle between the witches and the Satanists. I wanted the Coven to finally show off their powers, but no such luck. I get that Mallory (Billie Lourd) traveled back in time to his most vulnerable moment, but they totally could have killed him in a more creative, or at least horrific way. If everyone has these amazing abilities, why wasn’t anyone using them? When Langdon was hunting the witches down in the finale, why didn’t anyone use their telekinesis against him? I’m assuming the magic budget was down, but if you’re doing a “Coven” crossover, how could you not include more magic?
USELESS CHARACTERS
There’s no better picture to show under Useless Characters than Mutt (Billy Eichner) and Jeff (Evan Peters) who were given way too much screen time.
Photo courtesy of thewrap.com
I get that scheduling conflicts are an issue, but if Ryan Murphy is going to bring back so many fan-favorites, why wouldn’t he use them? They went through all the trouble of bringing Misty Day (Lily Rabe) back from Hell, only to have her absent for the remainder of the season. Sure, they can say in a throwaway line that she’s “off galivanting with Stevie [Nicks]” but she definitely should’ve been a bigger part of the season.
It wasn’t just Misty who was underutilized in “Apocalypse.” One of the main characters of “Coven” Zoe (Taissa Farmiga) came back this season with newfound confidence and grace, yet she was mainly relegated to the background. There was no mention of her powers (killer vagina) that took up the majority of her Season 3 timeline, and she performed minimal magic.
Similarly, Queenie the “Human Voodoo Doll” has been stuck in the Hotel Cortez since Season 5. They made a big plot point of Langdon rescuing her, but once she got back to the Coven, she really didn’t do much. With all these iconic witches brought back, why wouldn’t they actually showcase their powers?
SAME ACTORS PLAYING TOO MANY CHARACTERS
Evan Peters played Mr. Gallant through the first three episodes of “Apocalypse.”

While some actors, most notably Sarah Paulson, have no problem playing multiple characters, I feel as though this season featured too many multiple roles. While I love Billy Eichner as a comedian, I’m not sure he has the acting chops necessary to pull of two different characters. In the finale, I wasn’t able to differentiate between Brock and Mutt with a potential haircut.
After playing seven characters in last year’s “Cult” the fact that all three of Evan Peters’ “Apocalypse” characters (excluding his brief cameo as James March from “Hotel”) seemed wasted can’t be his fault, but that of the writing. Gallant, his first character of the season, died in the Hallows Eve poisoning, Tate was just a cameo and Jeff was completely unnecessary. Instead of throwing three subpar characters at him (I didn’t like how they tried to make school-shooter Tate into an innocent victim of the house), they should have focused on giving him one really strong, relevant character to play.
RETCONNING THE TIMELINE
Mallory (Billie Lourd) going back in time via an ancient spell.

By having Mallory go back in time to defeat Langdon in 2015, the show inadvertently changed the outcome of multiple plotlines. Since the apocalypse never happened, that means that Moira (Frances Conroy’s “Murder House” character who was given a heartfelt reunion with her dead mother) is once again stuck in the house, negating her plotline in the “Return to Murder House” episode.
Additionally, Mallory stops Queenie from staying at the Hotel Cortez during her upcoming trip to “The Price is Right.” Since Queenie never goes to the hotel, this drastically changes the last few episodes of Season 5. If Queenie was never there to hold over Angela Bassett’s character over, that means the Countess (Lady Gaga) could have very well escaped before being beheaded, which would, in turn, transform The Ten Commandments Killer’s final objective. Did they think of this when writing the finale, or were the writers only concerned with keeping Queenie alive for another potential crossover?
With the whole timeline resetting five years before the events of “Apocalypse” the entire season is essentially negated. None of it matters, because, in the new timeline the finale presented, none of it happened. Does that make this whole season a waste of time? Not necessarily, but it definitely knocks it down a few pegs.

Overall, I enjoyed this season of “AHS” but it clearly wasn’t without its flaws. It went slightly off the rails after the “Return to Murder House” episode and may have been too concerned with fan-service, but I can’t say I didn’t enjoy watching it every Wednesday night. I wish that Ryan Murphy and the writers would spend more time mapping out the whole season because it always lacks a level of cohesion.

So Much For Low Maintenance
When the Cleveland Browns head coaching job became available, few could’ve imagined the franchise would end up wanting to go in the direction they now reportedly want to go.
The Cleveland Browns want to interview former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for the Browns head coaching position, according to sources close to ESPN.
If it happens, Rice would be the first woman in NFL history to be interviewed for a head coaching position.
Rice, 64, is a lifelong Cleveland Browns fan and has shown her fandom at each turn for the team she had watched since a young child with her father.
She also has been involved in sports, working at the collegiate level as she was one of the inaugural members of the College Football Playoff selection committee, working there for three years.
The Cleveland Browns fired Hue Jackson last month following the Cleveland Browns’ 33-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field.
Jackson, who is now serving as a special assistant for the Cincinnati Bengals, went 3-36-1 in two-plus seasons as head coach.
What are your thoughts on the Browns surprising consideration for head coach? Leave your comments below!
