Monday in Mexico

Week 11 concludes with the Oakland Raiders hosting the Houston Texans at Mexico City's Estadio Azteca on Monday Night Football (8:30 PM ET, ESPN) in the first-ever Monday Night Football game to be played outside the United States.

The two first-place teams will battle in what will be the fourth and final international game this season.

Monday's matchup marks the first NFL game in Mexico since October 2, 2005 when a crowd of 103,467 witnessed the NFL's first international regular-season game. In that game, the Arizona Cardinals defeated the San Francisco 49ers 31-14 at Estadio Azteca.

Downwind David Johnson

Arizona running back DAVID JOHNSON had 101 scrimmage yards (55 rushing, 46 receiving) and two touchdowns (one rushing, one receiving) in the Cardinals' 23-20 win over San Francisco last week. Johnson is the first player to record at least 100 scrimmage yards in each of his team's first nine games since EDGERRIN JAMES (Indianapolis) in 2005.

With at least 100 scrimmage yards in Week 11 against Minnesota, Johnson would become the third different player since 1970 to record at least 100 scrimmage yards in each of his team's first 10 games.
