The RedZone: Week 11 in the NFL

Ryan's Top 5

5. Clay Matthews III - 5 tackles, 1 sack. 'Bloodline' hasn't given enough credit for his sterling work for the Packers this season. It wasn't Aaron Rodgers and Greg Jennings who put the final nail in the coffin of Brett Favre, it was Matthews. It's fitting that the league's sack leader will probably be the last man to sack No.4. The offense took care of Vikings coach Brad Childress and the result, a 31-3 romp on the road.

4. Maurice Jones-Drew - 23 carries, 133 yards, 1 TD; 3 catches, 87 yards. Who had the Jaguars leading the AFC South at 6-4? The answer is nobody. MJD may have been fairly below par for much of the season, but has come to life in the last couple of games, giving David Garrard a get-out clause on those days, like in the 24-20 win over the continually tricky Browns, when he's not quite up to scratch.

3. The Redskins' banged-up secondary - Phillip Buchanon - 6 tackles, 1 INT; Reed Doughty - 5 tackles, 2 assists. Shorn of Carlos Rogers and LaRon Landry (who genuinely could be an All-Pro contender), the Redskins secondary reflected much of their season - ruined by injuries. However, they still managed to keep Chris Johnson et al scoreless, the only TD for the Titans coming from special teams. They also knocked Vince Young out for the year, and possibly out of the franchise, as they eventually prevailed 19-16 in OT.

2. Ben Roethlisberger - 18/29, 275 yards, 3 TD's; 3 carries, 55 yards, 1 TD. Questions had been asked of the Steelers since Big Ben's return as to whether they were actually as good as they initially appeared in 2010. Some believed that the Oakland Raiders would continue their recent run and turn them over. Pittsburgh had none of it, as they were blown away in all facets of the game. Big Ben even appeared graceful on his feet with a 16-yard TD run as well as a further 31-yard scramble. James Harrison and the defense made sure of the win, as the Steelers cruised to a 35-3 success. And, in Mike Wallace and Rashard Mendenhall, they have two have the best young offensive weapons in the league.

1. Steve Johnson - 8 catches, 137 yards, 3 TD's. Steve who? The Bengals once again lived up to the 'Bungles' tag which has plagued them for so long, as they gave up a 31-14 lead at the half to get beaten 49-31 by the Bills, of all people. To be fair Buffalo have looked a different side since Ryan Fitzpatrick took over from Trent Edwards - Fitzpatrick threw 4 TD's on the day, three of which fell to 3rd year pro Johnson, previously unheralded within an already poor offense.
