Defense: The 49ers’ defense limited Arizona to 10 points, recorded 3 sacks, and totaled 2 interceptions. - DC Demeco Ryans is likely to be a hot head coaching prospect in a few months. AZ Issues: The loss drops the Cardinals to 4-7 on the season. The team continues to play undisciplined football under Kliff Kingsbury — whose days in the desert are obviously limited. Can't Run: Arizona’s inability to run the football is stifling the offense. James Conner — who signed a $21 million deal in the offseason — is averaging just 3.8 yards per carry on the season. No. 1: The 49ers (6-4) are now ahead of the Seahawks (6-4) in the NFC West by way of a head-to-head victory. Next Up: The 49ers host the Saints (4-7). The Cardinals host the Chargers (5-5). Image: @49ers on Instagram Gordon [Melvin Gordon] Broncos waive RB Melvin Gordon Details: The decision was made because of Gordon’s [fumbling issues]( this season. - The 29-year-old back has coughed up the ball five times in ten games. Impact: Gordon leads the Broncos in carries (90) and rushing yards (318). Running back duties will fall to Latavius Murray and Marlon Mack. - Murray has totaled 265 scrimmage yards (209 rushing, 56 receiving) and 3 touchdowns since joining the Broncos in mid-October. - Mack has yet to touch the ball this season. - Chase Edmonds — who was acquired in the Brandon Chubb trade — has a high ankle sprain and will [miss]( multiple weeks. Waivers: Gordon will be subject to waivers and has a decent chance of getting claimed. The Steelers, Raiders, Bears, Rams, and Cardinals have early claims and could use depth at the position. The Chiefs also make sense, should he make it to the end of the order. Image: Dustin Bradford/Icon Sportswire Jets [Zach Wilson] Robert Saleh does not commit to starting Zach Wilson in Week 12 Details: Saleh told reporters on Monday that he is [not]( ready to commit to Wilson as the Week 12 starter. - ESPN’s Rich Cimini revealed that Wilson has been told by the staff that his starting status is in question. Disaster: Wilson completed just 9-of-22 passes for 77 yards in the Jets’ 10-3 loss to the Patriots. After the game, the 23-year-old went viral for saying that he didn’t let the defense down with his performance. Raw: According to Cimini, there were “a lot of raw feelings among Jets defensive players” after the game and that Wilson’s [lack]( of accountability “didn’t sit well” in the locker room. White or Flacco: If Wilson is benched, the Jets will turn to either Mike White or Joe Flacco. - Flacco started three games earlier this season but was recently passed on the depth chart by White. - White completed 66.7% of his passes for 953 yards, 5 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions in four games appearances last season. Must-Win: The Jets (6-4) are currently outside of the playoff picture and need to win against the Bears in Week 12 to keep pace in a very competitive AFC conference. Image: Fred Kfoury III/Icon Sportswire Chase [Ja'Marr Chase] Ja’Marr Chase will return to practice this week Details: Chase — who has missed three games with a hip injury — will [practice]( this week and could play in the Bengals’ Week 12 matchup against the Titans. - Cincinnati has gone 2-1 without Chase in the lineup. Stats: In Weeks 1-7, Chase caught 47 passes for 605 yards and 6 touchdowns. More Bengals News... - If the playoffs began this week, the Bengals would face the Dolphins in the Wild Card round. - Joe Burrow has scored 16 total touchdowns (13 passing, 3 rushing) in his last five games. Image: Ian Johnson/Icon Sportswire Pitts [Kyle Pitts] Falcons place Kyle Pitts on IR Details: Pitts has an MCL injury that is [likely]( to require surgery. - The talented young tight end is out indefinitely and could miss the remainder of the season. Stats: Pitts has caught 28-of-59 targets (47.5% catch rate) for 356 yards and 2 touchdowns in ten games. - He caught 68-of-110 targets (61.8% catch rate) for 1,026 yards and 1 touchdown as a rookie in 2021. Interesting: Arthur Smith revealed to reporters that Pitts has been playing through various ailments all season — which could explain why his production has dipped in year two. Though a lack of chemistry with Marcus Mariota has clearly been an issue as well. Impact: Pitts drew a lot of attention from opposing defenses — his absence will make life harder for Mariota. Atlanta will move forward with Parker Hesse (5-50-0), Anthony Firkser (4-75-0), and MyCole Pruitt (4-31-0) at tight end. Image: Rich von Biberstein/Icon Sportswire Interesting [Trevon Diggs] Interesting File: Patterson, Diggs, Playoff Picture Cordarrelle Patterson: Patterson set the all-time record for kick returns touchdowns (nine) against the Bears in Week 11. The [record-breaker]( came on a 103-yard return that ended up being a crucial factor in the Falcons’ 27-24 victory. - Patterson passed Josh Cribbs and Leon Washington, who both have eight career kick return touchdowns. Trevon Diggs: Trevon Diggs [held]( Justin Jefferson — widely considered the NFL’s best receiver — to just 2 catches for 19 yards in the Cowboys’ victory over the Vikings.
