NFL Week 6 Recap & Game Highlights
NFL Week 6 kicked off with an NFC East battle that saw the defending Super Bowl champions remain stuck in the mud, and ended with a pair of primetime upsets. With another week in the books, the NFL Week 6 scores saw some wild results as the BET99 NFL odds and NFL season barrel toward Week 7.
A quartet of NFL odds underdogs won outright in Week 6, and a league lacking great teams continued down a path of maddening parity. BET99 has your NFL weekend recap, highlighted by the biggest games from Week 6 and looking ahead to Week 7.
NFL Week 6 Recap & Game Highlights
Colts 31 – 27 Cardinals
(Arizona +10)
A game in which the Indianapolis Colts were favored by double-digit points came down to the wire and a potentially missed call, after a wild second half in which the teams traded scores at will. Though getting gashed by a Jacoby Brissett offense is worrying, the Colts and Daniel Jones continue to stack wins – a trip to L.A. to face the Bolts next Sunday looms large for their credentials.
Buccaneers 30 – 19 49ers
(Tampa Bay -3)
Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers followed up last week’s thriller in the Pacific Northwest by outlasting yet another NFC West side. A scene that featured Baker heroics and MVP chants seems likely to be repeated over the course of the season, as Tampa keeps navigating a banged up offense on the back of its franchise quarterback.
Chiefs 30 – 17 Lions
(Kansas City -2.5)
In one of the most anticipated matchups of the season, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs reminded the NFL world at large that they are still a factor. Forcing the Detroit Lions to look downright unlike themselves is an accomplishment in its own right, but so too is the way the Chiefs have rebounded from a dreadful start to 2025.
NFL Week 6 Power Rankings 2025
-
Detroit Lions
It remains to be seen if there are any great NFL teams in 2025. The Lions, our best contender for such a label, lost in uncharacteristically timid fashion in Week 6. -
Kansas City Chiefs
If you were paying attention in recent weeks, it was clear the Chiefs were rounding into form. Now, a win over the Lions will be followed by Rashee Rice’s return – look out. -
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
What more can be said about the 2025 Bucs? They have embodied Baker Mayfield’s relentless competitiveness and are legitimate contenders in the NFC – led by a bona fide MVP candidate. -
L.A. Rams
The L.A. Rams spent Week 6 in relative anonymity, beating up on a lifeless Ravens team. In a season in which the presumed good teams trip up every week, anonymity – and the win column – is a fine place to be. -
Buffalo Bills
Worrying performances led up to what is now a two-game losing skid for the Buffalo Bills, with a lack of discipline and woeful tackling a cause for concern for a team that should’ve fired its head coach two years ago. -
Indianapolis Colts
Colts fans and believers alike will feel aggrieved by this ranking… and with good cause. Let that sink in! -
Seattle Seahawks
After they came up short against the Bucs in Week 5’s thriller, the Seattle Seahawks cruised by a feisty Jaguars team. Most encouragingly, Sam Darnold and the offense played a clean game against the league’s most opportunistic defense. -
Philadelphia Eagles
Something is rotten in the state of Pennsylvania. The Philadelphia Eagles’ offense continues to regress, as the mood around the team sinks toward 2023-level lows. -
Denver Broncos
The ‘72 Dolphins could find themselves in a rock fight in London, so a sleepy showing from the Denver Broncos against the Jets in England won’t be held against them. But, in a conference thick with good-not-great teams, the Broncos’ offense needs to click soon. -
Green Bay Packers
Fresh off a bye, the Green Bay Packers got past the Joe Flacco-led Bengals – albeit in not particularly impressive fashion. It has yet to fully click in Green Bay, with Micah Parsons’ muted performances the encapsulation of a team nowhere near its ceiling.
NFL Week 6 Scores & Standings
