To which I would say two things: 1. Where there is smoke, there is or perhaps has been a little fire. Or, in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken. And spoken is defined as one calling the other to inquire, no more, no less. Maury Wills Jersey . The Vikings announced Thursday that Priefer will be one of seven holdovers from the previous staff, along with offensive line coach Jeff Davidson, wide receivers coach George Stewart and others.

It was your typical NFL weekend with outstanding plays, the occasional upset, some key injuries, a record low for kickers across the league and enough intriguing results and headlines to keep us on the edge of our seats.These are just half a dozen key storylines that caught my eye on Sunday night. Cowboys look SuperThe Dallas Cowboys took the Baltimore Ravens best punches and kept on rolling, all the way to a 27-17 win that gave them their club record ninth consecutive victory. Baltimore came in with the NFLs top defence and the Cowboys were undeterred, racking up 417 yards of total offence. Ezekiel Elliott hurdles a Viking... Baltimore made it their mission to shut down Ezekiel Elliott and did a pretty good job of that in a first half in which the teams were tied at 10 apiece. But you can only contain Elliott for so long and he started to get more involved in the second half.Dak Prescott was outstanding as he threw for 301 yards and three touchdowns. He put the team on his back and delivered time and again, looking every inch the composed veteran quarterback. And more good news for the Cowboys is the fact that wide receiver Dez Bryant (six catches for 80 yards and two touchdowns) looks to be inching back to his best. Watch this poor sound guy get destroyed by the Minnesota Vikings! There is a long way to go and plenty of football still to be played, but these Cowboys have the look of a Super Bowl team. They can ride out adversity and continue to produce week in and week out - and that is a confidence thing as much as it is a physical component.

The Lions roarDont look now but here come the Detroit Lions looking to win their first NFC North division title since the days when the division went by a completely different name! The last time the Lions won their division it was the NFC Central in 1991, but they are on track after winning five of their last six.The 6-4 Lions enjoyed another typical day at the office in their 26-19 win over Jacksonville - it marked their 10th game this season decided by seven points or fewer. The only difference was that this win came without a touchdown pass from in-form quarterback Matthew Stafford. Wide receiver Andre Roberts scored a 55-yard punt return for the Detroit Lions Detroit scored on a tight end sweep from Eric Ebron, a 55-yard punt return from Andre Roberts and a pick six from Rafael Bush. That shows they can dig deep and win even when their star man does not have his best day at the office.Goff dream turns into nightmareIt never looked close to perfect from Jared Goff on Sunday night as the first overall pick in the 2016 Draft made his debut at quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams. But it looked more than good enough as the Rams led 10-0 with just over four minutes remaining.But Goff didnt turn out to be the story of this game. That honour goes to an under-fire Ryan Tannehill, who was beaten up behind a make-shift offensive line missing Branden Albert and Mike Pouncey. Highlights of the Miami Dolphins win over the Los Angeles Rams in week 11 of the NFL But Tannehill has renewed belief under the leadership of quarterback-whispering head coach Adam Gase and with some late self-destruction from the Rams in terms of penalties and blown assignments, he led Miami to a fifth straight win with touchdown passes to Jarviss Landry and the impressive DeVante Parker.dddddddddddd.This may be a bit too simplistic but Ill say it anyway - Miami dont win that game under Joe Philbin, who was fired last year. Gase has lit a fire under this team and Tannehill delivered in a big way with the game on the line.And Goff? It was a definite mixed bag and there were a lot of times when he looked like a fresh-faced rookie - but he also showed enough to make me believe the Rams made the right decision with this move.Wilson back to full fitnessThe Seattle Seahawks looked in control from start to finish during their 26-15 win over Philadelphia and I think they present the biggest challenge to the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC run to the Super Bowl. Highlights of the Seattle Seahawks 26-15 win over the Philadelphia Eagles Every NFL game is filled with big moments but one single play would give me great hope for the future if Im a Seahawks fan - Doug Baldwins 15-yard touchdown pass to quarterback Russell Wilson.There is no way the Seahawks run that play and send Wilson sprinting downfield to catch a pass from his wide receiver without him being fully healthy. And he does look back to his very best after early season ankle, knee and pectoral injuries. Russell Wilson hands the ball off and then receives the ball for a TD! That is good news for the Seahawks and great news for all neutrals who love watching Wilson shine as a passer, a runner and now a receiver.The missing menThe Cincinnati Bengals are having a bad year and, while there are many reasons, not many are greater than the list I am about to give you.The Bengals lost 16-12 to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday and it looks like they lost wide receiver A.J. Green and running back Giovani Bernard for the remainder of the year with hamstring and knee injuries, respectively. Highlights of the Buffalo Bills win over the Detroit Lions in week 11 of the NFL. Add those to tight end Tyler Eifert, who missed the first half of the season through injury, and free agent departing wide receivers Marvin Jones (Detroit) and Mohamed Sanu (Atlanta). For the cherry on top of the cake, throw in offensive coordinator Hue Jackson, who left to become head coach of the Cleveland Browns and you get a clear picture of why the Bengals have just three wins to their name - that is too much offensive talent to lose in one lump sum and survive intact.Cousins inches towards long-term dealWashington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins gambled on himself in the off-season as he inked a one-year franchise tag deal with his NFC East club. And it looks like he is going to parlay that into a lucrative long-term contract as Washington are rolling at 6-3-1 following their Sunday night mauling of Green Bay.In high and swirling winds, Cousins did a masterful job of spreading the ball around and picked on the Packers much-maligned defensive backs to the tune of 375 yards and three touchdowns. Highlights from the Washington Redskins victory over the Green Bay Packers His opposite number - Aaron Rodgers - didnt do too much wrong with 351 yards and three scores of his own, but he got very little help from his defence and the Packers, for so long one of the serious contenders in the NFL, have now lost four straight to drop to 4-6 on the year.Finally on Cousins, I maintain that he is one of the growing quarterbacks in the NFL who we should keep an eye on. I think he is a fantastic player and a great leader in the locker room. Oh, and he will get rich in the coming off-season!Upgrade to Sky Sports now and get 12 months half price.
