    Divisional matchups across the NFL in Week 11 resulted in small posts, but a non-divisional game led the way.

    The Los Angeles Chargers held on to defeat the Cincinnati Bengals on “Sunday Night Football.” The Chargers led 27-6, but the Bengals came back to tie the game with 12:21 left in the fourth quarter. Cincinnati then missed two baskets that would have given it the lead, and Los Angeles took advantage. JK Dobbins scored a 29-yard touchdown with 18 seconds remaining to clinch a wild 34-27 victory.

    The Chargers’ victory came with a “Home Alone”-inspired troll that included actor Macaulay Culkin, who dressed as Joe Burrow for Halloween this year.

    Here are the best trolls of week 11.

    The Indianapolis Colts came back to defeat the New York Jets 28-27 at MetLife Stadium. The Colts trailed 27-22 with 2:41 left, before the Colts QB. Anthony Richardson capped a six-play, 70-yard drive with a 4-yard touchdown run.

    The Jets had one last chance with 46 seconds left, but knocked it away, giving them their second straight loss. In his first start since October 27, Richardson totaled 304 yards and three touchdowns. Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers totaled 184 passing yards and two scores.

    The Indianapolis victory was accompanied by several New York-themed trolls, including lyrics from Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York.”

    AFC North games rarely disappoint, and the latest matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens is a prime example.

    The Steelers held an eight-point lead with 3:35 to play, then the Ravens responded with a nine-play, 69-yard drive for a touchdown. Baltimore chose to score two, but failed with 1:06 left. Pittsburgh then ran out the clock to earn its fifth straight victory.

    If winning on the field wasn’t enough, the Steelers made sure to throw in some virtual stunts, including a scene from “Sponge Bob” with a sad violin.

    The Minnesota Vikings took care of business on the road against the Tennessee Titans.

    Vikings Quarterback Sam Darnold threw for 246 yards and two touchdowns, while Titans quarterback Will Levis totaled 295 passing yards plus a touchdown and an interception. Minnesota star receiver Justin Jefferson made six receptions for 81 yards, increasing his career receiving yard total to 6,811 – the most by a player in his first five seasons in NFL history, according to ESPN Research.

    Rather than trolling the Titans specifically, the Vikings chose to mock the entire AFC South.

    Every game is crucial in the hotly contested NFC West, and the Seattle Seahawks picked up a huge victory against the San Francisco 49ers.

    Trailing 17-13, the Seahawks went on an 11-play, 80-yard drive that ended with the quarterback. Geno Smith rushing for a touchdown with 12 seconds left. The 49ers fumbled on the ensuing drive on a missed lateral. Smith threw for 221 yards, while San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy threw for 162 yards with one touchdown and one interception.

    Seattle had a simple troll after the game, referencing San Francisco’s “Bang Bang Niner Gang” slogan.

    The Denver Broncos ended their two-game losing streak in emphatic fashion, dominating the Atlanta Falcons at home.

    Broncos Quarterback Bo Nix threw for a career-high 307 yards and four touchdowns. Denver’s defense held Atlanta to just 226 total yards and forced one turnover – a quarterback interception Kirk Cousins.

    Similar to the Vikings, the Broncos trolled an entire division. They used edited video of Brock Lesnar for a shot at the NFC South.

    A key NFC East battle resulted in a victory for the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night.

    The Eagles put up 20 points in the fourth quarter to come back and hand the Washington Commanders their second straight loss. The Eagles return Saquon Barkley ran for 146 yards – his sixth game eclipsing 100 yards this season – plus two touchdowns. Eagles Quarterback Jalen hurts threw for 221 yards and ran for a score himself.

    Philadelphia trolled Washington with a small caption and a “W” similar to its opponent’s logo.
