NFL Week 6 Overreactions: Cowboys, Saints and Jaguars get blown out
Mackenzie Salmon breaks down the top storylines from Week 6 in the NFL.
Sports Seriously
The Denver Broncos and New Orleans Saints will kick off this week’s NFL slate, with a Week 7 battle that will see both teams looking to bounce back after recent losses.
The Broncos head into this game with a 3-3 record after last week saw a three-game winning streak snapped. Denver scored the game’s final 16 points, but came up short in a 23-16 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. While rookie quarterback Bo Nix threw for two touchdowns and led the team with 61 rushing yards, the Broncos defense struggled as the patient, clock-draining Chargers offense at one point converted on seven straight third-down situations.
New Orleans, meanwhile, is looking to get this season back on track before it goes completely off the rails. The Saints began the campaign with two blowout wins, then lost two close ones before really starting to struggle in their last pair of games. A 26-13 loss in Week 5 to the Kansas City Chiefs could have happened to anyone, but New Orleans got steamrolled by an NFC South foe last week, falling 51-27 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Quarterback Derek Carr remains an injury doubt, but after giving up nearly 600 yards of total offense in Week 6, the defensive unit may be more of a short-term concern.
