Browns Stun Ravens, Rodgers Rallies Steelers in Week 6 Early Games
Sunday’s early window in Week 6 delivered a walk-off field goal, an overtime comeback and a first win of the season for one of the league’s last winless teams. Here’s how all seven 1 p.m. ET games played out.
Bears 31, Falcons 23
Caleb Williams returned after missing three games with a hamstring injury, and Chicago looked comfortable for most of the afternoon, building a 31-7 lead in the fourth quarter. Atlanta made it interesting with a late surge, including a Michael Penix Jr. touchdown pass to Kyle Pitts Sr. that cut the deficit to one score. The Bears held on to improve to 4-2, while the Falcons have now lost two straight and fell to 2-4.
Browns 13, Ravens 10
Andre Szmyt drilled the game-winner, a 37-yard field goal at the buzzer, to give Cleveland a dramatic AFC North victory. Baltimore jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, highlighted by Josh Cuevas’ first career touchdown on a pass from Tyler Huntley, but didn’t score again. The Browns, Ravens and Steelers are all 4-2, but Cleveland holds the division lead thanks to head-to-head wins over both rivals.
Titans 26, Colts 20
Tennessee earned its first win of the season behind a 20-point fourth quarter that included a touchdown on a blocked punt. Cam Ward’s numbers were modest, as he went 11 of 22 for 102 yards with a touchdown and an interception, but the Titans found a way to win despite being outgained by 213 total yards. Carnell Tate caught six passes for 70 yards and a touchdown. The Titans are now 1-5, and the Colts dropped to 2-4.
Patriots 26, Jets 19
New England held off its division rival to improve to 4-2. Demario Douglas led the Patriots with seven catches for 86 yards and a touchdown, while Drake Maye kept the offense on track. The Jets got a big day from Omar Cooper, who finished with six catches for 103 yards and a touchdown, but New York fell to 2-4.
Saints 34, Giants 27
New Orleans took control with a 17-point third quarter, turning a 10-10 halftime tie into a commanding lead. The Giants rallied with 17 points in the fourth quarter but couldn’t finish the comeback. The Saints improved to 2-4, while the Giants fell to 3-2-1, a week after their 27-27 tie in Washington.
Panthers 25, Eagles 14
Bryce Young threw for 281 yards and two touchdowns, both to tight end Tommy Tremble, as Carolina beat the injury-riddled Eagles. Chuba Hubbard added 120 rushing yards and a touchdown. Playing without quarterback Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia turned to backup Tanner McKee, who threw for 215 yards and a touchdown. The Eagles have now lost four straight and sit at 2-4, while the Panthers improved to 3-2.
Steelers 26, Buccaneers 19 (OT)
Aaron Rodgers rallied Pittsburgh from a 13-point, fourth-quarter deficit. Chris Boswell’s 58-yard field goal tied the game with 1:55 left, and former Buccaneer Jamel Dean’s interception set up Boswell’s go-ahead kick moments later. Tampa Bay forced overtime on a 53-yard field goal from Chase McLaughlin, but Rodgers answered with a 12-play, 70-yard drive capped by a touchdown pass to Germie Bernard. The Steelers improved to 4-2, while the Buccaneers fell to 1-5.
