NFL Scores Week 6: Results and Top Fantasy Football Stars for Sunday Games
The New York Giants outsmarted and outlasted the Baltimore Ravens 24-20. The New York Jets embarrassed the Green Bay Packers 27-10...at Lambeau. The 1-4 Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the 3-2 Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Just how they drew it up, right?
Week 6 of the NFL season forced us to consider the fact that maybe we don't know that much about these teams yet. After all, the 3-2 Jets could have been a fluke, couldn't they? Maybe Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense would find their groove with a little more time on the field together. We can definitely write off the Indianapolis Colts, can't we? And the 4-1 Giants weren't really for real...were they?
We don't have definitive answers to all those questions yet (though we do know that Rodgers and the Packers did not, in fact, get it together). But we do know what we've seen so far this week.
The late afternoon slate included the Buffalo Bills enacting revenge on the Kansas City Chiefs for last season's divisional round loss and the Los Angeles Rams avoiding falling below .500 on the season by defeating the Carolina Panthers 24-10.
The Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks, who played to a 19-9 result in Seattle's favor, showed the Rams that the 49ers are the only team they really need to worry about in terms of winning their division.
And on Sunday Night Football, the bottleneck at the top of the NFC East finally started to thin out a bit as the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Dallas Cowboys handily.
There are some new movers and shakers in the league this season, and that's affected fantasy football, as well.
Let's take a look at the Week 6 scores so far, as well as the day's top fantasy players.
