NFL 2023: Week 6 Takeaways

Week 6 is officially over, something was in the water for like, half of these teams. Check out the good, bad and ugly below.

First & Jenn’s Game of the Week

Dallas Cowboys at Los Angeles Chargers

Cowboys: Are they back or are the Chargers about to sound alarms?

Chargers: I really don’t know if the Chargers are capable of contending in the AFC if they made the mistakes they made in this game.

First & Jenn’s Game to Skip

Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears

Vikings: They made terrible mistakes even though they won. This isn’t going to save them down the line.

Bears: Frustrating loss for Bears fans, but division games will always be tricky.

Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs

Broncos: They should contend for Caleb Williams at this point.

Chiefs: Not as impressive day for the offense, but the defense held the Broncos to 8 points and 192 total yards.

Baltimore Ravens at Tennessee Titans

Ravens: They won, yes, but nine penalties is not going to help you win down the stretch.

Titans: The turnovers and giving up the ball killed the team.

Washington Commanders at Atlanta Falcons

Commanders: Everyone say thank you to Chase Young.

Falcons: Turnovers hurt the team that otherwise had a decent day.

Seattle Seahawks at Cincinnati Bengals

Seahawks: They don’t look bad, but they don’t look great. Right now, that might just be enough in the NFC.

Bengals: The Joes (Burrow and Mixon) carried today (and Tyler Boyd’s touchdown, too.)

San Francisco 49ers at Cleveland Browns

49ers: No one is going to bat an eye at this loss, but this loss comes with a sounding alarm in the future.

Browns: *bombastic side eye*

New Orleans Saints at Houston Texans

Saints: They put up 430 total yards and nothing to show for it.

Texans: Having an average day, though I will give them making progress, won’t save them all the time.

Indianapolis Colts at Jacksonville Jaguars

Colts: Turnovers killed.

Jaguars: If I haven’t said this already, pay attention to the Jaguars.

Carolina Panthers at Miami Dolphins

Panthers: Oddly, I think they’re making slow progress. Not enough to be in any conversation.

Dolphins: Another beautiful performance, what more needs to be said? Other than that this week they faced an easier team.

New England Patriots at Las Vegas Raiders

Patriots: They are officially an untrustworthy team.

Raiders: Not good, not bad, just good enough.

Arizona Cardinals at Los Angeles Rams

Cardinals: They’re just not getting it right this season.

Rams: They are getting it right this season, regardless of the off-day.

Philadelphia Eagles at New York Jets

Eagles: Your defense can only carry you so far until your offense makes costly mistakes.

Jets: Your defense will cary you only so far and more if your offense is able to deliver, too.

Detroit Lions at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Lions: Dare I say, moving up in the NFC ranks?

Buccaneers: They had an off-day, and not in a good way.

New York Giants at Buffalo Bills

Giants:

Bills:
