Sunday Scene, Week 11: Indy refuses to lose (and it's a problem)
Roto Arcade —

That's not to say that you lost your Week 11 matchup, of course. The Colts' skill position players all delivered acceptable lines in the win against the Ravens.

Redskins-Cowboys Winners & Losers
Mr. Irrelevant, a D.C. Sports Blog From the Brothers Mottram —
WINNERS
Rock Cartwright — It seemed like curtains for the run game when Ladell went down early, but Rock ran well and did damage in the pass game too (career-high 140 yards from scrimmage). It was almost enough.
