NFL, the results: Denver and Rams at the top. Fold Kansas City and Seattle

Denver beats Kansas City and takes over the Division, the Los Angeles Rams beat Seattle and take the lead in their own. The eleventh NFL Sunday, of 13 games, gives important shocks to rankings and hierarchies. And in Madrid, at the Bernabeu, Miami wins in overtime. The Monday Night that will close the day is Las Vegas-Dallas.

DENVER-KANSAS CITY 22-19

The Chiefs have won the division, the AFC West, for nine years in a row. The series seems compromised. In fact, the Broncos go up 9-2, the best NFL record, and by beating them in the direct match they extend the distance, Kansas City is 5-5 now. The winning kick, which gives Denver their eighth success in a row, is signed by Wil Lutz at the last second, from 35 yards. The key play was Bo Nix’s completed pass to Troy Franklin earlier in the day. Coach Payton’s team confirms the super defense, limits Pat Mahomes – Ja’Quan McMillian intercepts him – and does just enough in attack to win. The Chiefs are not satisfied with an excellent Travis Kelce, who scores his 84th touchdown, a franchise record. They have an 0-5 sprint record this season, last season they were 11-0. It changes everything.

LA RAMS-SEATTLE 21-19

Everyone is talking about the Rams’ attack: Matthews Stafford, perhaps the favorite for the MVP of the season, Kyren Williams and the pair of receivers Davonte Adams-Puka Nacua. But against Seattle (7-3), in the very match that put the lead in the NFC West at stake, the defense makes the difference. Who intercepts Sam Darnold 4 times, twice with Kamren Kinchens, once with Cobie Durant and Darious Williams. However, Seattle remains in the game until the last second when kicker Jason Myers misses the posts from 61 yards, making the Californians breathe a sigh of relief, being too coy at the end. The Rams (8-2) score touchdowns with Williams, Adams and tight end Parkinson, but the visiting defense holds up overall, it’s the attack that betrays with Cooper Kupp who doesn’t make an impact like an unforgettable ex. Invisible.

MIAMI-WASHINGTON 16-13 aet

—

The scenery is beautiful, the Bernabeu in Madrid with 78,610 spectators. Chivu, the Inter coach, was also there. What we saw on the pitch was less beautiful: a match played in reverse by mediocre and poorly trained teams. At least the one in the capital has the excuse of the absence of the starting QB, Jayden Daniels, knocked out. One had to win, and in overtime the Dolphins won (4-7) with a kick by Riley Patterson from 29 yards thanks to Marcus Mariota who was intercepted by Jack Jones on the first play of the extensions. First half 6-6 without a touchdown, disturbing ending with Coach McDaniel passing the football one yard from the end zone, not converting the 4th down, and the Commanders (3-8) with Matt Gay missing a kick from 56 yards with 10″ left in regulation. The offense runs instead of throwing. Well…
