NFL Week 11 Takeaways: Top Takeaways for Every Team from Sunday's Games
The NFL season has reached the point where it's obvious some are feeling the stress of a 17-game season. How each individual reacts is telling.
For the New York Giants, the organization just might have found something in undrafted rookie quarterback Tommy DeVito after dealing with injuries at the game's most important position.
Conversely, multiple coaches are under fire as their teams disappoint. The Los Angeles Chargers' Brandon Staley certainly didn't react well during his media scrum while being questioned after yet another disappointing loss.
There's an old saying about pressure making diamonds. More often than not, pressure causes many to crumble, and that's clearly occurring in multiple situations around the league.
There are franchises that should be ecstatic right now, while others are already looking toward the future.
Bleacher Report analysts Brent Sobleski and Moe Moton delve into these topics and the main takeaways from all of Sunday's action.
Dallas Cowboys at Carolina Panthers
1 of 11
Dallas Cowboys' DaRon Bland Becomes Centerpiece on Talented Defense
The Dallas Cowboys didn't have any clue what would happen to their defense after cornerback Trevon Diggs went down with a ACL tear after Week 2.
DaRon Bland officially entered the starting lineup at that point. He's now piecing together an NFL Defensive Player of the Year-type of season. On a unit that features the likes of Micah Parsons, Demarcus Lawrence and Stephon Gilmore, Bland continues to steal the spotlight.
During Sunday's 33-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers, the second-year corner undercut an out-breaking route, snagged the football, somersaulted back onto his feet and then returned the interception for a 31-yard score.
Pick-sixes create huge momentum swings, but they're a relatively common occurrence. What Bland is doing certainly isn't.
His latest pick-six is his fourth this year, which ties an NFL single-season record.
With Diggs in the lineup, the Cowboys were accustomed to their star corner creating turnovers. But Diggs could be a little feast or famine when it came to his play. With Bland, his performance isn't an all-or-nothing approach. He's developing into a legitimate lockdown cornerback.
According to NFL Next Gen Stats, opposing offenses have lost -47.6 EPA targeting Bland, which is the second-best performance since the site started to record the number.
If Parsons and Co. don't get to a quarterback, Bland will be there waiting to prey on a bad pass and possibly take it back for another score.
Incoming One-and-Done Season for Frank Reich With Carolina Panthers
Prior to Sunday's meeting with the Cowboys, FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reported that Carolina Panthers head coach Frank Reich sat on "the hottest seat in the league."The coach did absolutely nothing to help his cause during the Panthers' latest loss. Carolina looks in complete disarray.
Bryce Young looks nothing like a No. 1 overall pick should. The Cowboys created a ridiculous amount of pressure that culminated in surrendering seven sacks. The Panthers committed eight penalties for 90 yards.
Ultimately, the Panthers are worse today than they were a year ago under the direction of interim head coach Steve Wilkes. They technically own next year's No. 1 overall pick, though the selection belongs to the Chicago Bears thanks to the trade-up to acquire Bryce Young in this year's draft.
David Tepper is a very hands-on owner, and he expects results. The Panthers have drastically regressed. Patience appears to be wearing thin. The team doesn't want to ruin its investment in Young.
Reich may not even make it out of this season.
Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions
2 of 11
These Aren't the Same Old Detroit Lions
This year's Detroit Lions are the best team the organization has fielded in the modern era. The previous statement isn't hyperbole. In fact, the Lions' 8-2 record is the franchise's best start since 1962.
To fully understand how long ago that really was, the Super Bowl didn't exist at that time. It's so long ago that the Lions' last 8-2 start is closer to the team's founding as the Portsmouth Spartans in 1928 than it is to today.
With Sunday's comeback 31-26 victory over the Chicago Bears, the Lions also showed how they can overcome adversity. While trailing with 2:04 left to play, the Lions pieced together a 10-play drive for 73 yards and a David Montgomery game-winning touchdown plunge.
The Lions did not play well. They committed four turnovers, including three Jared Goff interceptions. Chicago held a massive advantage in time of possession by more than 20 minutes. But good teams overcome mistakes and less-than-stellar play. That's exactly what the Lions did.
"Pressure went up and our heart rate leveled out," head coach Dan Campbell told reporters after the game.
Detroit required game-winning drives on their final possession on back-to-back weeks. The Lions came up big in both instances. Otherwise, five of the team's wins came by at least two scores.
The Lions are good. Really good. And their record shows how good they really are compared to what the fan base is used to enduring.
Same Old, Same Old With QB Justin Fields in Chicago Bears Lineup
At this point, the discussion whether Justin Fields is truly a franchise quarterback—at least in Chicago—needs further investigation.
Fields returned Sunday after missing the previous four games with a thumb injury on his throwing hand. Upon re-entering the lineup, the third-year quarterback did what he always does—he made some plays, created with his legs and the Bears still came up short.
"I'm gonna be real with y'all, we should've won the game," Fields said after the contest. "It just comes down to finishing and executing at the end of the game."
Ultimately, the game ended a strip-sack by Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson. So, Fields' 104 rushing yards didn't mean much.
The performance feels more like the culmination of a situation instead of a restart. Fields is extremely talented. He makes plays. He doesn't get enough help. But how long do the Bears allow similar outcomes to happen over and over again?
Chicago currently owns a pair of top-five draft picks. The Bears are positioned well for a reboot if that's the route the organization chooses to undertake. The current approach hasn't been anywhere near good enough. It's hard to look at Fields and think he will ever prove to be wildly successful with the team that drafted him.
Arizona Cardinals at Houston Texans
3 of 11
QB C.J. Stroud and WR Tank Dell Are Special Tandem for Houston Texans
The Houston Texans appear to have hit a grand slam when it comes to their 2023 draft class.
C.J. Stroud's rapid ascension to superstar status as the favorite for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and potential MVP candidate has been the talk of the NFL.
But Stroud doesn't do it alone. He needs help. His favorite target came the same class.
The Texans selected wide receiver Tank Dell with the 69th overall pick (third round) during April's entry draft. Dell has quietly pieced together an excellent rookie season. If not for the Los Angeles Rams' Puka Nacua taking the league by storm, Dell would receive far more attention.
Going into Sunday's contest, Dell ranked fifth in receiving yardage among rookies. He experienced a true breakout game in the Texans' 21-16 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Dell set new career-highs with eight receptions for 149 yards. The rookie has six catches for 120 yards through the first two quarters, including an outstretched 40-yard touchdown receptions (pictured above).
His six touchdown receptions this season set a new Texans franchise record for a rookie.
This connection between Stroud and Dell is only going to grow as the year and seasons progress. Dell shows exceptional short-area quickness and route running. He's already been targeted by Stroud more than any other Texan. As well as the quarterback is playing, he's getting a lot of help, particularly from his fellow rookie.
Kyler Murray Continues to Impress, Affect Arizona Cardinals' Long-Term Strategy
As mentioned in this weekly staple multiple times, the Arizona Cardinals' season is primarily built around one specific factor: whether or not Kyler Murray will be the starting quarterback in 2024 and beyond.
In his second game back from last year's torn ACL, Murray's movement skills and quick-strike passing kept the Cardinals in Sunday's contest with a passing and rushing touchdown. Even in a loss, the outcome can be viewed as a positive.
Arizona moving forward with Murray is the best possible outcome for the organization. It doesn't need to reset. It won't need to worry about selecting the right prospect to lead the franchise. Instead, general manager Monti Ossenfort and head coach Jonathan Gannon can worry about building up the rest of the roster while fully implementing their approaches and philosophies.
The loss actually bumped the Cardinals to second in the draft order if the event were held today. It's a great spot, because the team can either look to draft someone like Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. or leverage the high pick and trade it to a quarterback-starved franchise. Either way, the Cardinals benefit.
This season was always going to be a struggle based on the Cardinals' roster deficiencies. However, things aren't as bleak as they initially seemed.
Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns
4 of 11
Cleveland Browns Create Blueprint to Win With QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson In Lineup
The Cleveland Browns immediately turned to fifth-round rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson upon news of starting quarterback Deshaun Watson suffering a season-ending shoulder injury.
In any scenario, a backup being forced into the starting lineup, let alone a rookie, changes expectations in regards to a team's seasonal outlook.
But the Browns still managed a 13-10 victory over the rival Pittsburgh Steelers and laid the groundwork for how the team can still be a factor as the campaign progresses. The key involves decreasing the emphasis on the quarterback position.
Ultimately, Thompson-Robinson threw 43 pass attempts. But he averaged a meager 3.8 yards per attempt. Head coach/offensive play-caller Kevin Stefanski relied on a quick passing game and simple reads to make life easier on his first-year signal-caller. Initially, Cleveland leaned heavily on running backs Jerome Ford and Kareem Hunt, with strong runs and even some Wildcat plays.
Furthermore, the Browns can rely on the game's best defense to make plays and slow (or even shut down) opposing offenses. Cleveland just needs enough from its offense to make each week's performance more than a one-sided affair.
As the rookie grows more comfortable the Browns can take more shots off the play-action game, while also implementing extra quarterback-designed runs and movement.
At 7-3, Cleveland is very much in the playoff hunt and sits half a game behind the AFC North-leading Baltimore Ravens.
Against better competition with functional offenses, the Browns will need a little more from everyone on the offense. The team can't rely solely on the defense to make a real dent this season. But the approach seen Sunday is a great starting point to show what Cleveland's offense can become with a different quarterback leading the way.
Pittsburgh Steelers Must Find Ways to Feature RB Jaylen Warren More
The Steelers offense looked in complete disarray, particularly the passing game.
Kenny Pickett, whom the organization chose in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft, simply isn't playing like a starting-caliber quarterback. He wasn't on the same page as his wide receivers throughout Sunday's contest. The quarterback's pocket presence proved to be suspect. Pittsburgh managed a meager 77 passing yards against the Browns.
But a spark can be found in running back Jaylen Warren.
The entire unit looks different with Warren in the mix, because the former undrafted free agent is an explosive runner capable of creating chunk plays, including an impressive 74-yard touchdown romp against a really good defense.
In fact, Warren's 145 yards from scrimmage easily outgained the rest of the team. Considering the second-year ball-carrier has three straight games of 100 or more yards from scrimmage, his presence should drastically increase.
Najee Harris shouldn't be splitting touches. The 2021 first-round draft pick averaged 4.2 yards per touch during the aforementioned stretch. For comparison, Warren posted an average of 8.6.
In order for Pittsburgh to be more productive, the right players need to be on the field. Warren is the Steelers' best offensive player, and he's yet to be used as a true focal point.
New York Giants at Washington Commanders
5 of 11
Tommy DeVito Is Auditioning for Backup Job in 2024
Tommy DeVito may have an NFL future as the New York Giants' backup quarterback. Initially, many wondered if he belonged in the league.
In his first three games, which included one start, he threw for 260 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions with a 57.4 percent completion rate. On Sunday, he threw for 246 yards and three touchdowns in the Giants' 31-19 win over the Washington Commanders.
Daniel Jones may have to give up the nickname Danny Dimes to Dimes DeVito for the moment. DeVito tossed a pinpoint touchdown throw to running back Saquon Barkley that may have opened eyes around the league.
Let's keep DeVito's performance in perspective though. He threw lasers against the Commanders' 29th-ranked pass defense. With that said, he has time to build on this performance while Jones (torn ACL) and Tyrod Taylor (ribs) are on injured reserve.
The Giants have DeVito under contract through the 2024 term, but if they completely revamped their quarterback room, he could find a home on another roster as the No. 2 signal-caller next season.
Commanders Can Unofficially Flush Their Playoff Hopes Down the Toilet
On Sunday, the Giants swept their season series with the Commanders, which just about puts an end to the possibility that Washington sneaks into the playoff picture at the end of the campaign.
With Sunday's loss to Big Blue, the Commanders fell to 4-7. Looking ahead, they have matchups against the Dallas Cowboys (two), Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers.
Despite trading edge-rusher Chase Young and Montez Sweat, Washington beat the New England Patriots and nearly upset the Seattle Seahawks. Coming into Week 11, the Commanders were a few spots from the No. 7 seed.
Already a long shot to claim an NFC postseason berth, the Commanders can now embrace the spoiler role for the rest of the season. Washington will likely clean house in the offseason under new ownership.
Los Angeles Chargers at Green Bay Packers
6 of 11
Packers Have Nothing to Lose, Let Jordan Love Cook in Passing Game
On Sunday, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love carved up the Los Angeles Chargers' 32nd-ranked pass defense, throwing for a season-high 322 yards and two touchdowns. He led the game-winning drive that concluded with a 24-yard pass to wide receiver Romeo Doubs.
Sure, Love played well against the league's worst pass defense, and edge-rusher Joey Bosa left the game early with a foot injury, but Green Bay should continue to allow its young quarterback to sling the ball all over the field.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Packers running back Aaron Jones suffered a knee injury that's not considered "long-term," but Green Bay ranked 21st in rushing yards and 23rd in total carries through Week 10.
The Packers have a slim chance at a postseason berth, and they have to figure out if Love is Aaron Rodgers' long-term successor. Love could use Sunday's outing as a confidence-builder for the remainder of the campaign.
Justin Herbert-Reliant Chargers Are Headed Toward Another Disappointing Season
Last week, the Los Angeles Chargers scored touchdowns on their last five drives and still lost 41-38 at home to the Detroit Lions.
On Sunday, quarterback Justin Herbert led the Chargers in rushing with 73 yards and threw for 260 yards and two touchdowns, but running back Austin Ekeler had a costly fourth-quarter fumble at the Packers' 2-yard line, and Los Angeles gave up a touchdown drive late in regulation. Wideout Keenan Allen dropped a wide-open touchdown pass.
The Chargers can't stop anyone, struggle to close tight games (five of their six losses are by three or fewer points) and their roster has fallen apart with injuries in recent weeks. In addition to Mike Williams, who's on injured reserve with a torn ACL, Jalen Guyton (groin) and Gerald Everett (chest) missed Sunday's game. Bosa left on a cart with a foot injury, which adds to the team's defensive issues.
Unless Herbert goes into the booth and comes out as Superman with a lightning bolt on his cape, the Chargers will struggle to string together wins for extended stretches. They're a heavily-flawed, injury-riddled squad that will short-circuit during its push for the playoffs.
Tennessee Titans at Jacksonville Jaguars
7 of 11
Jacksonville Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence is More Than a One-Read Quarterback
Earlier in the week, the Tennessee Titans' Arden Key provided bulletin material for his former teammates when he explained how his current squad could attack the Jacksonville Jaguars offense, specifically quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
"He's grown tremendously, but I realize, being there, if we can take away his first read the rush will be allowed to get there," Key told reporters. "If the first read's there, he's throwing it right there, right now. If it's not, you see the kind of hesitation, things of that sort so we know and realize that we've got to take away the first read so we get to him."
First, a quarterback completing a pass to the designed receiver shouldn't be viewed as a negative play. He's simply executing the offense. Second, Lawrence still responded by completing 75 percent of his passes with four total touchdowns in the 34-14 victory.
"I'm not thinking about any of that stuff," Lawrence said in response. "I couldn't care less what those guys say to be honest. That's my response to that. It doesn't matter. If those guys think I'm the best thing in the world, it doesn't matter, either."
At 7-3, the Jaguars sit atop the AFC South with a huge upcoming meeting with the surging Houston Texans. As long as Lawrence plays like he did Sunday, Jacksonville should be just fine.
Tennessee Titans Head Coach Mike Vrabel Isn't Worried about Job...and Shouldn't Be
The Tennessee Titans fell to 3-7 with Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. Head coach Mike Vrabel was asked the obvious question about his job security as his team battles through a poor season.
"I don't try to concern myself with that," Vrabel said. "I really am focused on these players. I hurt for them.
"I played 14 years, won some games and won some championships. I am frustrated for the player. I'm disappointed for the players. I want them to have success. I know how hard they work and what they put into it.
"My focus is on coaching this team. I'm trying to get these guys to understand there's a fine line in this league between winning and losing."
This is the first time in Vrabel's tenure that the Titans truly faced adversity. Yes, Tennessee finished last season with a 7-10 record, but injuries played a big part. This year is different. Aging stars at key positions, with a crumbling roster elsewhere, took a team that's always competitive and placed it in a position where it's lost three straight games.
With all that said, Vrabel is a quality coach who gets his team prepared. With the right acquisitions, the squad can be competitive again. Vrabel is too good at what he does to consider going in another direction at this point.
Las Vegas Raiders at Miami Dolphins
8 of 11
Dolphins Don't Need to Win Scoring Shootouts with Improved Defensive Unit
This isn't a surprise, but the Miami Dolphins have a stingier defense with three-time All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey back on the field. Since Ramsey returned from knee surgery in Week 8, he's recorded three interceptions.
With Ramsey and fellow All-Pro cover man Xavien Howard, Miami has two cornerbacks who can shut down an opponent's passing attack. Including Sunday's game, Bradley Chubb, Christian Wilkins and Jaelan Phillips have 16 sacks combined.
On Sunday, the Dolphins had arguably their sloppiest offensive performance of the season, turning the ball over three times. Yet their defense forced three turnovers in a 20-13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders
Coming into Week 11, Miami ranked 26th in scoring. Assuming Ramsey, Howard and key starters in the front seven stay healthy, the Dolphins could finish within the top 12 in points allowed by the end of the season. They can win slow-scoring, grind-it-out games with their defense.
Aidan O'Connell Isn't Good Enough for Raiders to Abandon Their Run Game
Over the two weeks heading into Sunday, the Raiders racked up 273 rushing yards and two scores with Josh Jacobs at the forefront of a new physical offensive identity under interim head coach Antonio Pierce.
On Sunday, Jacobs recorded 14 carries for 39 yards, and his longest run went for nine yards.
Meanwhile, Aidan O'Connell completed 24 out of 41 passes for 271 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions.
O'Connell made rookie mistakes and misfired on multiple throws, but the Raiders must stick to their run-heavy approach in close games with the rookie signal-caller.
Ideally, O'Connell should attempt 25-35 pass attempts in a game while Las Vegas leans on Jacobs to pick up yards on the ground. The latter is the engine of the offense under Pierce and first-time offensive coordinator Bo Hardegee.
Against the Dolphins, the Raiders didn't have to give up on their ground attack in a one-possession game. As time went on, O'Connell struggled, and the Raiders only scored three points after the first quarter.
Hardegree must do a better job of helping O'Connell with the ground attack, or he'll expose the rookie's flaws.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at San Francisco 49ers
9 of 11
49ers Are Still Head and Shoulders Above Their Division Rivals
The San Francisco 49ers (7-3) and Seattle Seahawks (6-4) will likely battle for the NFC West crown. The Los Angeles Rams (4-7) and Arizona Cardinals (2-9) may have top-10 draft picks in 2024.
The Seahawks have a talented squad, but they squeaked by the Cleveland Browns (24-20), who started P.J. Walker in that contest, and the Washington Commanders (29-26), who fell to 4-7 on Sunday.
Though the 49ers had a three-game losing streak featuring anemic offense earlier this season, they've dominated most of their opponents, winning six of their seven contests by at least 13 points.
After a rough stretch in October, San Francisco looks like a legitimate Super Bowl contender again, outscoring the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tampa Bay Buccaneers 61-17.
In the evening Thanksgiving matchup, the 49ers will play the Seahawks on the road. Based on the standings, San Francisco and Seattle should have a competitive game, but no one should be surprised if San Francisco throttles Seattle even if Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith (elbow) plays in the game.
Don't Count Buccaneers Out of NFC South Title Race
On Sunday, the Buccaneers went up against a Super Bowl-caliber team in the 49ers and lost 27-14.
In defeat, Tampa Bay fell to 4-6 and third place in the NFC South because of a head-to-head tiebreaker loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
Fortunately for the Buccaneers, they're capable of going on a post-Thanksgiving run.
Following Sunday, the Buccaneers won't play a team with a winning record until Week 16—a home matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. In fact, Jacksonville is the only club with a winning record on Tampa Bay's schedule right now. In Week 14, the Buccaneers can avenge their loss to the Falcons.
In a mediocre division that doesn't have a team with a winning record, the Buccaneers can quickly turn around their season and sit atop the NFC South in the near future.
New York Jets at Buffalo Bills
10 of 11
Don't Buy the Bills' Bounce-Back Bid Yet
On Sunday, the Buffalo Bills dismantled the New York Jets 32-6, snapping a two-game skid with a point total higher than any output since Week 4.
All is well in Buffalo, right? Not so fast.
The Bills beat the Jets, who also lost in back-to-back outings before Sunday's matchup. In the third quarter, Gang Green benched quarterback Zach Wilson, who went 7-of-15 passing for 81 yards, a touchdown and an interception.
Essentially, the Bills played a division rival that had a lingering quarterback issue. Sure, New York beat Buffalo in Week 1, but Gang Green's offense had been mostly ineffective in recent weeks, scoring 20 or fewer points in each game since Week 6.
If the Bills want to earn a mention in the Super Bowl discussion, they need to match up well against the Philadelphia Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas Cowboys in the next four weeks.
Before we praise Bills new offensive coordinator Joe Brady, who took over for Ken Dorsey early in the week, let's see how this offense stacks up against clubs at the top of the standings.
Jets Should Call Up Trevor Siemian from Practice Squad And Start Him
Two weeks ago, Michael Kay of ESPN NY 98.7 FM suggested that the Jets bench Zach Wilson for Trevor Siemian (h/t Paul Andrew Esden Jr. of The Score 1260).
Head coach Robert Saleh had a clunky response to Kay, which made its rounds through social media and left many wondering why the team continues to support Wilson as the starter despite his subpar performances.
Perhaps Kay had a good idea that Saleh couldn't refute at the moment. Now, it seems like Siemian may be Gang Green's best quarterback.
On Sunday, the Jets benched Wilson in the third quarter of a blowout loss to the Bills. Tim Boyle took over and completed seven out of 14 passes for 33 yards and an interception.
Boyle may fare better with a full week of first-team reps at practice, but he's thrown for three touchdowns and nine interceptions in 18 career games (three starts), including Sunday.
Siemian has far more starting experience (30 starts in 35 outings), and he's thrown for 42 touchdowns and 28 interceptions.
The Jets have scored one touchdown since Week 8 against the New York Giants. They have to shake up the offense starting with Wilson, who has six touchdown passes and seven interceptions in 10 games (nine starts) this season.
Seattle Seahawks at Los Angeles Rams
11 of 11
Carson Wentz Will Have a Chance to Revitalize His Career with Rams
At some point in the coming weeks, Carson Wentz will have a chance to showcase himself for starting and backup jobs in 2024.
Two weeks ago, the Los Angeles Rams signed Wentz while Matthew Stafford nursed a sprained UCL.
Though Stafford has yet to miss a game this season, he's battled various injuries over the past few years, and he got hurt again in Sunday's game.
On top of that, Stafford is on the downslide. Coming into Week 11, he had his lowest completion rate (59.7) since the 2013 campaign. Stafford only has multiple touchdown passes in one game this season.
At 4-7, the Rams may eventually fall out of the NFC wild-card playoff race. Even before that happens, head coach Sean McVay may pull Stafford to spark the offense with a younger, more mobile, big-armed quarterback who can move the ball with Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua downfield.
One way or another, Wentz will likely have the same opportunity that Baker Mayfield had last season—a chance to show he's a serviceable starter under a high-level play-caller.
Seahawks Will Find Out if Zach Charbonnet Can Re-Energize Ground Game
On Sunday, Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll told reporters running back Kenneth Walker III suffered an "oblique strain that was legit."
Based on Carroll's assessment, Walker could miss Seattle's Thanksgiving game against the San Francisco 49ers. The Seahawks would have to unleash rookie second-rounder Zach Charbonnet, which may work in their favor.
Through Week 10, Seattle ranked 24th in rushing. Walker averaged 4.1 yards per carry, and Charbonnet averaged 5.6 yards per rush attempt.
In a 17-16 loss to the Rams, Charbonnet recorded 15 carries for 47 yards. For the season, he's only logged 53 rush attempts. Though his sample size leaves some question marks, the first-year ball-carrier would have a shot to earn more touches if he has a solid outing against the 49ers' fourth-ranked run defense.
Perhaps the Seahawks would consider a more balanced workload between their top two running backs once Walker returns from injury.
