🏈 NFL WEEK 6 TAKEAWAYS 🏈

Dallas Cowboys (4-2): 20 | LA Chargers (2-3): 17

➡️ Dak Prescott is 5-1 on Monday Night Football. It was always DP for the win

Cleveland Browns (3-2): 19| San Francisco 49ers (5-1): 17

➡️ This was a fluke game. The Niners were without Deebo Samuel (shoulder) and CMC (oblique)...although, Shannon Sharpe says Brock Purdy isn’t elite 🤔

New York Jets (3-3): 20 | Philadelphia Eagles (5-1): 14

➡️ Jets defense can play with the best…without Sauce Gardner and D.J Reed. Plus, Aaron Rodgers is back to throwing

Detroit Lions (5-1): 20 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-2): 6

➡️ Jameson Williams added a different dynamic to the Detroit Lions Offense. This is the best Lions team we’ve seen in our entire lifetime. No matter how old you are

Buffalo Bills (4-2): 14 | New York Giants (1-5): 9

➡️ A controversial no PI call on the last play of the game gave the Bills the win, despite Josh Allen going scoreless in the first half

Miami Dolphins (5-1): 42 | Carolina Panthers (0-6): 21

➡️ Mike McDaniel has turned a bottom-eight rushing offense in the league’s best in less than a year. Tyreek Hill had a fun celebration…so did Jaylen Waddle, and Raheem Mostert went crazy with 17 carries for 155 yards and 2 tuddies

Cincinnati Bengals (3-3): 17 | Seattle Seahawks (3-2): 13

➡️ Joe Burrow has looked more like himself in consecutive weeks; Geno Smith has to do a better job of finding DK Metcalf
