For two teams that were undefeated just a few weeks ago, are their most recent performances on the gridiron a sign of things to come? Or just a bad day or two in the office?

In our latest episode of Down and Distance, our co-hosts, Holly Culbertson and Adesina O. Koiki, discuss on First Down what has gone wrong with the Green Bay Packers, and whether there is enough time to right the ship and capture the NFC North Division crown for a fifth consecutive season. Also, with the Cincinnati Bengals coming off an embarrassing Monday Night Football loss to the Houston Texans to knock them from the ranks of the unbeaten, our co-hosts discuss how concerned the team and its fans (and doubters) should be at yet another primetime dud put up by quarterback Andy Dalton.

On Second Down, we have two postgame interviews from the New England Patriots’ win over the New York Giants from last weekend. Our first interview is with wide receiver Brandon LaFell, who had 66 yards receiving in the contest, including a big 54-yard reception in the fourth quarter. The second interview is with cornerback Logan Ryan, who joined up with the rest of the Patriots’ defensive secondary to hold Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr., after his first-quarter touchdown catch of 87 yards, to only three catches and 17 total yards for the rest of the game..

Third Down brings a preview of, and predictions on, seven different games in Week Eleven of the season, including whether the Minnesota Vikings can seize control of the NFC North with a win over the Green Bay Packers in Minneapolis. Also, can the Denver Broncos win with Peyton Manning on the sidelines as Brock Osweiler makes his first start of his NFL career against the Chicago Bears? On fourth down, Holly decides whether the three Florida-based teams will all win this week, a feat that occurred last week for the first time since Week 14 of the 2013 season.
