Week 6 Top Dogs & Down and Out Teams

                      Week 6 Top Dogs & Down and Out Teams          

By Josh Olson 

                                              Top Dogs

New York Jets- This team just keeps winning, now winning three games in a row. They beat the Green Bay Packers 27-10. Breece Hall rushed 20 times for 116 yards and a touchdown while Zach Wilson threw ten completions for 110 yards with zero touchdowns and zero interceptions. The defence sacked Aaron Rogers four times and hit him nine more times. The Jets are rolling and look to keep rolling when they travel to Denver to take on the Broncos. 

New York Giants- Like their little brother in the Jets, the Giants hung around and once again pulled out a win! The Giants took out the Baltimore Ravens 24-20 while being down ten points. Daniel Jones threw 19 completions for 173 yards and two touchdowns and zero picks while Saquon Barkley rushed 22 times for 83 yards and a touchdown. The defence was more of a bend don't break but when it matter the most they got the takeaways they needed, they got a fumble and interception. The giants travel to Jacksonville to take on the jaguars in week 7.

Buffalo Bills- The Buffalo Bills slayed some demons this week when they beat the Kansas City Chiefs 24-20. They got redemption for their overtime lost in last year playoffs. Josh Allen went 27 completions on 40 attempts for 329 yards and 3 touchdowns. Stefon Diggs ten catches for 148 yards and 1 touchdown. The Buffalo Bills picked off Patrick Mahomes twice this game. The bills are going into their bye with a 5-1 record. 

                                          Down and Out 

San Francisco 49ers- Let me start with that, yes, the 49ers have a lot of injuries but “next man up” is every team's mentality. A lot of reports were that the 49er's defence had a lot of depth but the Atlanta Falcons pushed them around. Yes, the 49ers gifted them 14 points but that's football, sometimes the bounce bounces in your favour. Jimmy Garoppolo had 29 completion for 296 yards with two touchdowns and two picks. The 49ers had a fumble loss that cost them seven points and two picks. It was almost like they were looking past the opponent and thinking of their next week's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. 

Green Bay Packers- The New York teams have been the Green Bay Packer's kryptonite having lost to the Giants last week and now losing to the Jets this week 27-10. The oline gave up four sacks and Aaron Rodgers had a fumble lost. Once again not having weapons to throw to is hurting this team and they lost Randall Cobb for maybe the season. The defence was a bit of a key down letting Hall run wild on them. The packers look to rebound against Washington Commanders. 

Baltimore Ravens- Don't get me wrong the Baltimore Ravens are a good team but they took their foot off the pedal and let the New York Giants back in the game. The Ravens were up ten points halfway through the fourth quarter and gave up fourteen points to lose 24-20. Lamar Jackson completed seventeen throws for 210 yards with a touchdown and interception. He also got sacked twice and fumbled the ball. The Ravens play a divisional rival when they host the Cleveland Browns in week seven.
