We didn’t see 73-yard bomb to one-handed grab right before halftime. With that catch, Cobb tied former Packer Sterling Sharpe's record of scoring a touchdown in six consecutive games.
Rodgers now has 18 or more fantasy points in 6 straight contests, and will face a Philadelphia team this week that's allowed the fourth-most points to fantasy quarterbacks this year.
Don’t Forget About Seattle
Despite all the accolades for the Packers, we can't just focus on them. If the playoffs began today, the Packers could be sitting at home instead of playing in the playoffs due to the Eagles win on Monday night. The Packers and their fans can thank the Seahawks' victory in Week 1 for that, as they hold the head-to-head tiebreaker.
It won’t be easy to surpass the Seahawks if they run over everyone else like they ran all over the Giants this past weekend. pic.twitter.com/wvarcOjYoM
— NFL on ESPN (@ESPNNFL) November 10, 2014Cincinnati is the only team without six wins within the division, and could have had a chance at six if not for the tie against Carolina. However, thanks to sweeping the Ravens, they have the best division record at 2-1. But three divisional games in their final four weeks of the season could prove to be brutal.
Thanks to beating the Bengals, the Browns now sit atop of the division but only have a 22.3% chance to win the division. They had mixed results against the Steelers and lost a close one to the Ravens on their way to a 2-2 divisional record. Weeks 15 and 17 will be pivotal for the entire division.
Night and Day Difference
The Steelers may be a part of the toughest division in the NFL, but if Roethlisberger and company wouldn't have had such a horrid game in Week 10, they could have a half-game lead over the Browns right now. The loss to the Jets isn't all on Roethlisberger's shoulders, as the defense gave up two first quarter touchdowns. But four turnovers won't help anything.
How bad was Roethlisberger? Despite 343 yards, Big Ben only managed one touchdown late in the game to Martavis Bryant. Roethlisberger threw two interceptions and only contributed 2.47 Passing Net Expected Points (NEP), one-tenth of his contributions through the air in Week 9. Roethlisberger's Passing NEP from Week 10 was also his third-worst performance of the year.
Touchdown Futility
Le'Veon Bell scored his only rushing touchdown on the season in Week 1. LeGarrette Blount also scored a rushing touchdown in Week 1 and tacked on another in Week 3. But since the Steelers' pass-to-run ratio has increased since Week 3 (1.36 to 1.54), they have not scored a rushing touchdown in their last seven games.
But the Steelers aren't the only team experiencing a lack of touchdowns at a position. The Kansas City Chiefs are in a similar boat, as no Chiefs wide receiver has caught a touchdown. It's not a lack of production from the offense though - it's more of a lack of talent at the position.
Tight end Travis Kelce has been a legitimate threat for the Chiefs, contributing 41.34 Target NEP and 47.13 Reception NEP to go along with his 4 touchdowns on the year. Even Anthony Fasano, Jamaal Charles, and Joe McKnight have caught two touchdown passes.
But "main" wide receiver Dwayne Bowe has no touchdown catches, and only a 44.49 Reception NEP (31st among all receivers) and 27.96 Target NEP (19th). With other - better - options around for Alex Smith, it's no wonder a wide receiver has yet to catch a touchdown for the Chiefs.
