What did we learn in week 6 of the NFL? Well first of all, all of us at 5G 1B send our condolences and prayers to Adrian Peterson and his family. I'm not sure how he managed to stay on that field on Sunday, but G-D bless him.
Getting back to the sport it's getting more and more obvious each week that other than baseball it's the most painfully slow sport on the planet and we love it, and the cliches of any given Sunday almost proved to be true!
The Jags, Titans, Raiders, and Bills all had great chances to send shockwaves through the league but all came up short (however Jacksonville did cover so that absolutely counts for something in betting cirlces!). The Jags went into the half down 14-12 and it could have been 14-14 sans a missed 2 point conversion. The Broncos didn't look all that great and yet still finished them off 35-19. The Titans gave the Seahawks a real run for their money up in Seattle which is one of the toughest places to play but just came up short, the Raiders kept it close for a little while in KC but didn't have enough in the end and the Bills backup QB Thad Lewis through a touchdown with only seconds remaining to send the game to OT but the Bengals found a way to get the win in OT.
The remaining unbeaten's in the NFL after week 6 are only AFC West division rivals Kansas City and Denver. New Orleans fell from those ranks thanks to a last second touchdown from Tom Brady in New England.
The remaining teams without a win in the NFL after week 6 are Jacksonville, the New York Football Giants, and Tampa Bay.
This weeks biggest surprise and biggest letdown both came from the Monday night game for me. I was very disappointed in the Colts after beating both Seattle and San Fran (at Candlestick) and going up against a team in San Diego missing 2 veterans on the defensive line it looked like it would be a high scoring game and one that Indy should have had and the fact that they put up nothing more than 3 field goals and still choose to ignore Trent Richardson is deeply disappointing. But on the flip side well done to the San Diego defense who has basically been being carried by Rivers all season long and they got a well deserved victory to back him up on Monday Night.
Week 7 games to look out for - Cowboys vs. Eagles in Philly in the battle for first place in the weak NFC East. Patriots vs. Jets, Jets trying to climb out of a 2 game hole in AFC East. And finally Broncos vs. Colts. The return of Peyton Manning to Indianapolis. Need I say more?
