For the first time maybe this year, I can say it: This week in the NFL was not very wild. The Philadelphia Eagles struggled with the Indianapolis Colts, the Washington Commanders made slight work of the Houston Texans and the Baltimore Ravens didn’t play their best ball against the lowly Carolina Panthers. Some teams that are viewed as “good” didn’t look too good on Sunday afternoon, but as for wild moments, this week wasn’t full of them.
Still, that doesn’t mean this final stretch run is not going to be wild. The playoff picture looks incredibly jumbled. I mean, check out the AFC East! All four teams have at least six wins! While this weekend wasn’t the most memorable one of the 2022 NFL season, there were still some interesting moments. Below, we will break down five of the wildest moments from NFL Sunday in Week 11.
5. Bears bachelor party
When your boy is about to get hitched, you’ll usually take a trip out to Vegas or maybe rent a beach house or schedule a golf outing for you bachelor party. Instead, these guys all dressed up as legendary Bears head coach Mike Ditka and went to the Bears-Falcons game.
This is amazing. Credit to you guys. Where’s the application to join your friend group? I’ll even be the fringe guy, I don’t care.
Unfortunately for these guys, Chicago fell to Atlanta, 27-24.

With less than a minute left before halftime, Dak Prescott hit CeeDee Lamb for a gain of 27 yards that got Dallas down to Minnesota’s 42-yard line. Brett Maher then came on and hit a 60-yard field goal — BUT WAIT… The league called in and wanted to review Lamb’s catch from the play before!
After confirming the catch, Maher had to come on and kick yet another 60-yard field goal. But he didn’t flinch. You know why he didn’t flinch? Because Maher had made three field goals from 60 yards or more in his career coming into this matchup — which is the NFL record.
As CBS Sports’ John Breech points out, before Sunday, there had only been two field goals made all year from 60 yards. Additionally, NFL kickers have hit just 17.1 percent of their kicks from beyond 60 yards in NFL history.
