Early wk 6 games ... The Jets had a chance for their first victory against Denver but Fields got sacked. Is he the answer for this team? Has been a pass-rushing magnet this year, though the Broncos have a good rush ...

Wonder if Aaron Glenn is rethinking his move from Detroit yet. Pretty sure others are....

Yep Richard, it didnt help Glenn that the Jets basically ran down the clock towards halftime without trying to score. Not a good look today.

--Bettors suspicion award, goes to the Colts who had a backup QB go down to an eye injury before the game, while having a DB suffer a concussion during pregame warmups ... You cant make this stuff up ... or can you?

--Dowdle still hot for the Panthers as he has a big game against his former teammates from Dallas.

--Bucs are still hot without Evans, as are the Steelers, who didnt have to face Flacco for the Browns. Flacco played well for the Bengals despite the swift trade-then-start, but the Packers got a win they needed.

--After looking like the Baltimore Colts from 1981 on defense recently, the Ravens prevented under 20 points scored by getting back to their running game, which was good but unable to generate TDs. Can the defense get better quickly enough till Jackson gets back?

--Seattle has a big win after losing a tough game to TB. The Jaguars cant follow up after beating KC.

I wasn’t able to watch the Seahawks-Jags game. How was the Jaguars secondary? They just traded Tyson Campbell for Gregory Newsome.

I did see Campbell, who played pretty well for the Browns today, despite the defeat but didnt see Newsome or the Jags today ... whoever covered Smith-Njigba didnt do too well.

Is Tampa actually good or are they just this year’s 2022 Vikings?

KC toughed it out, but the Lions are ravaged in the secondary. Will they call Stephon Gilmore or has he been signed elsewhere?

What big names could move before the trade deadline?
