Top 5 performances for Alabama football in the NFL Week 11

Last week it was a group of off-the-radar former Alabama football stars who made a big impact in the NFL and dominated our weekly rankings. This week, it was back to more of the usual suspects for the Crimson Tide.

John Metchie and Anfernee Jennings made the list a week ago for the first time on the season, while Calvin Ridley made the list for just the second time.

This week, it was back to the status quo. It was another big week for Alabama alumni and the Crimson Tide's touchdown streak was extended to a ridiculous 95 weeks in a row.

It's an offensive-dominated list this week with due respect to Jets DL Quinnen Williams, Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey, and Texans LB Henry To'oTo'o.

Let's dive into this week's list.

Top 5 Alabama football players in the NFL in Week 11

5. Josh Jacobs

In his first year with the Green Bay Packers, Josh Jacobs is enjoying a resurgent season. He's now third in the NFL in rushing following Sunday's 20-19 Green Bay win over the Chicago Bears.

Jacobs rushed for 76 yards on 18 carries and added 58 receiving yards on four receptions as the Packers scored a huge win against a divisional rival.

Jacobs is behind only Derrick Henry and Saquon Barkley in rushing. He's closing in on his fourth 1000-yard rushing season of his career.

4. Jameson Williams

Man, when the Lions are firing on all cylinders I'm not sure there's a more fun team to watch in the NFL. The Lions thoroughly dominated the Jaguars on Sunday to the tune of a 52-6 beatdown to run its record to 9-1. Detroit sits alone at the top of the NFC and it sure looks like the NFC Championship is going to run through Detroit.

One of the big reasons the Lions have looked so unstoppable has been the third-year breakout of former Alabama WR Jameson Williams. Williams caught four passes for 124 yards and a touchdown in the Lions win. He's already at a career-high 538 yards on the season. If it wasn't for the two-game suspension he would be on 1000-yard pace, though there's plenty of time to make up the ground.

There's something so satisfying about watching Williams' straight-line speed. Speaking of straight-line speed...

3. Jahmyr Gibbs

Jahmyr Gibbs is now 5th in the NFL in rushing and has 28 less carries than any other player in the Top five. He has 19 less carries than any other player in the Top 10.

On Sunday, Gibbs flexed his all-purpose muscles in Detroit's blowout win over Jacksonville. Gibbs ran for 69 yards on just 11 carries and added 54 receiving yards on a single reception. Just look at this ridiculous burst:

Gibbs and Jamo give the Lions two of the most dangerous weapons in the NFL. The Alabama duo is a big reason why the Lions are currently the betting favorite to win the Super Bowl.

2. Jerry Jeudy

Jerry Jeudy has quietly had a good season in his first year with the Cleveland Browns. He's just slightly off pace for what would be the first 1000-yard season of his career. That's despite unreliable QB play in Cleveland, something that Jeudy has obviously become accustomed to during his NFL career.

Sadly, Jameis Winston might be the best QB he's played with in his career. This week, Jeudy had his biggest game of the season. He caught six passes for 142 yards and an 89-yard catch-and-run touchdown against the Saints.

1. Tua Tagovailoa

The Dolphins have now won back-to-back games to run its record to 4-6 and get back into the thick of the playoff race in the AFC. Miami still needs a lot to ultimately make the playoffs, but if Tua Tagovailoa continues to play like he did on Sunday against the Raiders, the Dolphins will be tough to beat.

Tagovailoa completed 28/36 passing for 288 yards and three touchdowns to help lead the Dolphins to a 34-19 win over the Raiders.

The Dolphins host the Patriots this week before a big game on the road against the Packers on the road on Thanksgiving.
