I think the question was intentionally tricky of saying QBs don't count, where kickers are even more of a slam dunk to score.

ONTO THE CORRECT ANSWERS.....

A total of 163 points was scored by the 5 winning teams in their respective games.

19 different players are correct (4 Jaguars, 3 Saints, 4 Rams, 4 Vikings, and 4 Patriots).

Of those 19 potential answers, 9 were chosen by the entrants.

HERE ARE THE TEN PLAYERS WE ALL OVERLOOKED.....

Yes but you still had to pick the right team. You and I scored the same amount in London this year as Cody Parkey and Phil Dawson did.

There's quite a mix in the unplayed aces today.

One winning kicker went unplayed (Rams obv), but I will note Marcedes Lewis. He led all qualifying answers to this question, scoring 18 points in Week 3. And 2 Patriots became unplayed aces 9 and 10 yesterday.

Before joining Minnesota last year, this veteran had spent time with 4 other teams (most notably Washington). He became the kicker in Minnesota after the Vikings parted ways with Blair Walsh.

One answer is worth 6 points.

This former Buckeye is in his second season with the Saints. He found the end zone nine times last year, but has scored only twice this year. His second TD of 2017 came in London.

Thomas caught a 3-yard TD pass from Drew Brees in the 3rd quarter of the Saints' 20-0 win over Miami in Week 4.

At this time, I have to pause the reveal.

We will resume at 5:00 PM Eastern.

The humanity! Just when I was going to see if I was back on the podium! Hurry back!

I feel even sillier opening up the document to verify your answer when it is incorrect than I do when it is correct.

Well, QBs never are considered to score points when they pass for a TD, so it's more just explaining the scoring rule than anything else I would think. Amazed the Saints K is worth less points this week than Saints WR tho.

I'm going to lobby for "name a player to go on IR" to be a question next year

Woodhead obv sheep

lol

I was wrong in my initial assessment; I had Dalvin Cook as next week's answer.

I do have two season-long ones I'm pretty proud of that look likely to hold. Unfortunately there aren't a ton of options for those questions so I still might sheep for all I know.

I'm back early; we'll get going again in 5 minutes.

.

I have to balance my revealing range, right?

One answer is worth 5 points.

This kicker made 28 FG's last year as a rookie, and was named to the PFWA's All-Rookie Team for 2016. He's missed 3 FG's during his team's 8-game winning streak, and kicked a 28-yarder in OT yesterday to beat Washington.

5 of you went with the Saints' #3.....

Another kicker is worth 4 points.

This vet has been with the Pats since 2006. He's been named to 4 Pro Bowls, and has won a pair of titles with New England. He had 7 scoring kicks yesterday, as his team improved to 8-2.

Gost made 4 FG's (including a 62-yarder) and 3 PAT's yesterday, as the Pats dismantled the Raiders 33-8 in Mexico City.

Week 11 closes with five aces.....

Well that's one score for each of us, so if you think about it, we should all get 1 point.

Just checked my next week's answer and was thinking that his typical stat line of 12 carries for 10 yards and a TD would work perfectly except he's also on IR now

Our first ace was played by Jeremy517.

This former Beaver was traded in March, as he left New Orleans for the Patriots. He was held to a season-low total of 2 receptions against his former team in Week 2, but managed 6 catches for 149 yesterday in Mexico.

Jeremy517 scored 1 point with.....

CORRECT ANSWER

New England WR Brandin Cooks (6 points)
1 point
Jeremy517

Cooks scored on a 64-yard TD pass from Tom Brady in yesterday's third quarter.
