The AFC is led by the Colts (5-1), and the Steelers (4-1), while the surprising Bucs (5-1) have continued to dominate the NFC, led by quarterback Baker Mayfield.<\/p>\n
Falling back to the pack, was the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, and week 6 began in East Rutherford, New Jersey.<\/p>\n
*Philadelphia (4-1) @ NY Giants (1-4): NYG 34-17<\/b><\/p>\n
The future of the Giants has arrived, and boy its fun to watch!<\/p>\n
The Giants high-profile rookies showed why they are starting already, with Quarterback Jaxson Dart (195 yards passing-TD\/58 yards rushing-TD) and Running Back Cam Scattebo (98 yards rushing-3 TDs) leading the Giants to a dominant win.<\/p>\n
Giants’ fans showed their opinions on the youth movement, when Dart was pinballed on a tackle, and had to be in concussion protocol.<\/p>\n
The minute backup Russell Wilson hit the field he was booed and it didn’t let up until Dart returned.<\/p>\n
The team is Dart’s now and look for Wilson to be on the move again.<\/p>\n
The Eagles looked mortal as Jalen Hurts had accuracy issues early and Saquon Barkley continues to underwhelm (67 total yards).<\/p>\n
Barkley has yet to return to the form that had him rush for over 2000 yards in 2024, and the number of carries last season may have taken its toll.<\/p>\n
Sunday:<\/b><\/p>\n
*Detroit (4-1) @ Kansas City (2-3): KC 30-17<\/b><\/p>\n
The Chiefs were being written off as past their window, and in need of a few retirements.<\/p>\n
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes (257 yards-3 passing TDs\/rushing TD) then reminded the sports world why Kansas City has been in five of the last six Super Bowls.<\/p>\n
Travis Kelce led the Chiefs with 78 yards receiving but added a new controversy by wearing a “Free 4” t-shirt during pregame warmups.<\/p>\n
“4” refers to teammate Rasheed Rice, who nearly killed people drag racing in his Lambo, and then fled the scene.<\/p>\n
He will spend 30 days in jail after racing nearly 120 mph and causing a six-car pileup and given the light sentence, Kelce should have kept that to himself.<\/p>\n
Chiefs’ Receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has been known to run his mouth…a lot!<\/p>\n
Whatever he said to the Lions’ Brian Branch after the game concluded set him off and he took a swipe at Smith-Schuster.<\/p>\n
Branch is looking at a stiff penalty.<\/p>\n

Monday Night:<\/b><\/p>\n
What mensa overlapped two games, and chose to show both with scores in progress?<\/p>\n
*Buffalo (4-1) @ Atlanta (2-2): Atlanta 24-14<\/b><\/p>\n
Football fans, meet the NFL’s 3rd-leading rusher, Bijan Robinson.<\/p>\n
The Falcons running back rushed for 170 yards and a score, and caught 6 receptions for another 68 yards in a breakout game.<\/p>\n
On the season Robinson is averaging 98 yards per game, 2nd in the NFL.<\/p>\n
Wide receiver Drake London had his second consecutive 100-yard game (158-TD) on 10 catches and has become a focus for Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. of late.<\/p>\n
The Falcons played error-free ball while Josh Allen struggled for the Bills with two interceptions and two fumbles-both recovered by Bills players.<\/p>\n
*Chicago (2-2) @ Washington (3-2): Chicago 25-24<\/b><\/p>\n
San Francisco castoff Jake Moody kicked four field goals, including the game-winner, to help the Bears come from behind to win.<\/p>\n
