It was an offensive onslaught in Week 6 for the NFL rookies. This past week had five skill position players surpass 100 yards from scrimmage, and the rookie cornerback class is starting to earn its stripes as the league nears the midway point.
Welcome to the post-Week 6 edition of triggering power rankings.
Week 6 of the NFL season is officially in the books. Here’s a weekly look back at the week that was in the NFL.
The New York Jets had six picks in the 2019 NFL Draft, including taking Quinnen Williams at No. 3 overall. The class has not excelled to date, and several players are no longer on the active roster. Following up on a previous article, we check in on how the draft class and undrafted free agents are faring in the NFL.
In what was expected to be a close, high-scoring game, the Arizona Cardinals manhandled the Dallas Cowboys on their way to a 38-10 victory on Monday night. Vance Joseph’s defense smothered Andy Dalton behind a backup-filled offensive line, and the rushing attack made the most out of the Cowboys porous defense.
The originally scheduled Thursday Night Football game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills went down on Monday evening. A battle of two 4-1 teams saw the Chiefs coming out on top, 26-17. They used a ground-and-pound attack to run away with it. The Chiefs racked up 245 yards on the ground led by rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s 161. The team that normally relies on the “Air Attack” relied heavily on the “Edwards-Helaire” attack. I’ll see myself out. This team still has Le’Veon Bell coming too after signing him this past week.
The New York Jets are in the midst of a lost 0-6 season as the situation stands. There have been very few bright spots on the roster but there is always excitement about young players, and especially rookies. Below is a look at how the Jets rookies are fairing and what to expect from them.
The Detroit Lions came out of their bye week re-energized and with a statement to make against the Jacksonville Jaguars. They set the tone from the opening kickoff, jumping out to an early lead and never taking their foot off the gas.
This past weekend feels like the first time in months that I did not have a losing record. I went 3-3 and actually won money this weekend. Some people are saying that I am back. What better way to really get this train rolling than with a Monday Night Football doubleheader.
A game between two teams deadlocked atop of the AFC North. The Pittsburgh Steelers once again proved to the Cleveland Browns that they remain the class of the division. Routing Cleveland 38-7, Ben Roethlisberger and company had their way with the Browns throughout the contest’s duration, racking up 277 yards of total offense, while forcing Baker Mayfield into multiple interceptions. Pittsburgh jumped out to a 24-0 lead, ending Cleveland’s four-game win streak and extending the Browns’ losing streak at Heinz Field to 17 games.
The Week 6 Sunday Night Football game featured the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers meeting up for the 141st time. The 49ers lead the all-time series between the two teams and were looking for their third consecutive win against the Rams on Sunday night. They succeeded and were able to get the win they so desperately needed.
The Baltimore Ravens squeaked out a 30-28 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Both teams were in need of a win to keep pace within their divisions. Despite jumping out to a 24-6 lead late in the third quarter, the Ravens allowed Carson Wentz and the Eagles to storm back. After a one-yard touchdown dive by Wentz to pull Philadelphia to within two, the two-point attempt would be stopped short, allowing John Harbaugh’s team to survive and advance to 5-1 on the season.
