NFL standings after Week 6: Winners and losers in the AFC and NFC divisions

In Week 6 of the NFL, the Chicago Bears traveled all the way to London to deliver a thrashing to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Washington Commanders and Baltimore Ravens game offered an intriguing matchup between rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels and two-time MVP Lamar Jackson. The Detroit Lions absolutely destroyed the Dallas Cowboys, the Cincinnati Bengals got the job done in a must-win game against the New York Giants, and quarterback Drake Maye made his debut with the New England Patriots.

Let’s take a look at the winners and losers from Week 6.

NFL Week 6: Winners and Losers

Winner: Caleb Williams

Early in the season, it looked like Caleb Williams, the Bears’ No. 1 overall pick in the draft, was going to struggle to make it in the big league. By Week 6, those worries can be put to rest. Williams came into London and destroyed the Jaguars’ defense with four touchdowns and a 35-16 victory.

Winner: Eagles offense

The Eagles offense was given a huge boost with the return of receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Both had a reception of at least 40 yards, both scored a touchdown, and they combined for 180 receiving yards on nine catches. QB Jalen Hurts was able to control the ball and had his best game so far this season with a 64% completion rate, 264 yards, and two touchdowns.

Winner: Packers offense

Although the Packers need to improve on their red zone conversions, their offense had a lot of positives after their 34-13 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Quarterback Jordan Love passed to at least nine different players for catches and threw four touchdown passes to three different players. They also put up 179 rushing yards with seven different players recording a carry.

Winner: Joe Flacco

I don’t think anyone expected there to be quarterback controversy on the Colts team, but when Anthony Richardson got injured and Joe Flacco had the game he had on Sunday, controversy ensued. Flacco threw for two touchdowns in their win over the Titans and though the Colts have said they’ll keep Richardson as the starter, he could be overtaken by Flacco if he doesn’t perform well in the next few games.

Loser: The entire Cowboys team

Where to begin? The word that best describes the Cowboys’ “effort” against the Lions on Sunday is shit-show (sorry for the language). With a final Scorigami of 47-9, Dallas suffered their worst home loss in almost 36 years. With a 3-3 record, they’re still technically in the playoff race, but they certainly don’t look like contenders at this point. The defense and offense both look tired, they can’t run the ball, and they can’t stop the run. The problems start at the top, but if changes will come, it won’t be until after this season is through.

Loser: The Saints’ season

Well, it was nice while it lasted. The Saints were off to a hot start in their first two games under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, but have now lost four straight. Injuries do have a lot to do with it. On Sunday, rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler filled in for Derek Carr in the hopes that he could defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, like many rookies have before him, but got a 51-27 loss instead. On top of that, the defense gave up nearly 600 yards.

Loser: Will Levis

In the Titans’ 20-17 loss to the Colts, it was quarterback Will Levis’ toss into double coverage that sealed the loss. He now leads the league with seven interceptions and there is really no good reason for Tennessee to keep starting him under center. Their decision to trade Malik Willis is probably one of their biggest regrets now as backup quarterback Mason Rudolph is also not a great long-term option.

Loser: Doug Pederson

Just when you thought the Jaguars coach’s seat couldn’t get any hotter, they go and embarrass themselves to the tune of a 35-16 loss to the Bears in London, taking them to a 1-5 record. After the loss, Pederson suggested what they need is a “cultural change”, but that typically happens by firing the head coach, so...
