This game is hard to understand at times, Oakland came out on fire, even though Gabriel was knocked out with an elbow injury, and we had a 10-0 at the end of quarter #1. After that, nothing, eighty-one total yards rushing did us in. I knew the Broncos were tough against the run but I didn't think they were that good. Flores came in the game as relief and didn't look very good, 14/42 132 yards. We are going to readjust our pass defense from a 2 deep bump and run to a cover 3 scheme, we may give up more yardage underneath but will hopefully keep from giving up as many big plays. Next week we go to Seattle to face the Seahawks, Gabriel will be on the bench since he is hurt and Flores will get the start.

Game of the Week: Green Bay at Chicago
Several big games the last few weeks in the NFC and week 11 brings another one as the Packers travel to Soldier Field. Chicago was looking to play the role of spoiler and early on
they jumped out to a 21-7 halftime lead. After the half however Bart Starr and Paul Hornung figured out the Bear defense and the Chicago offense took a page out of the Raider
playbook and failed to manage any points. Green Bay's Jim Bakken kicked a 48 yard field goal with 33 seconds left to defeat the Bears 22-21 and keep ahold of the NFC North.
