Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Detroit Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers will look to confirm the dominant pace that has them as leaders in their respective divisions in week six of the NFL season.
Led by an effective Baker Mayfield, the Bucs will have one of the most attractive games this Sunday when they host the San Francisco 49ers.
Mayfield and Tampa Bay challenge SF
Tampa Bay, leader of the NFL’s National Football Conference (NFC) South division with a 4-1 record, is coming off a 38-35 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in the most exciting game of week five.
Now, they will be tested by San Francisco, a team that has managed to hold the top spot in the NFC West with a 4-1 record.
This despite the fact that they have accumulated the most injuries during the campaign, with 25 injured players, most of them star players.
The duo of Mayfield and Emeka Egbuka will be a challenge to stop the 49ers’ defense, which ranks sixth in the league in points conceded, averaging 19.6 per game.
Lions seek fifth consecutive win
Also on Sunday, the Lions, first in the NFC North at 4-1, will try for their fifth consecutive win.
And in the process, complicate the uphill climb toward the playoffs for the Kansas City Chiefs, who are 2-3 in third place in the NFL’s American Football Conference (AFC) West.
After their disastrous performance in a 27-13 loss to Packers in week one, Detroit has crushed their next four opponents by more than 34 points per game.
They are the NFL’s most potent offense with 174 points scored.
The Chiefs, despite the good performances of Patrick Mahomes, are going through a crisis not seen in the last decade.
Back with a thirst to reassert their dominance
And Aaron Rodgers’ Steelers will be back in action after their bye week against the Cleveland Browns, one of the NFL’s fiercest rivalries.
Pittsburgh, the AFC North leader at 3-1, on paper appears to have a victim in the 1-4 Browns, who have rookie Dillon Gabriel as their new starting passer, to reassert themselves at the top of their division.
Another attractive duel this Sunday will be between the Jets and the Broncos at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
Week six kicks off on Thursday with the visit of the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles, who are coming off an undefeated loss to Denver, to the New York Giants, one of the worst in the NFC.
The activity will conclude on Monday with two games; Falcons-Bills and Commanders-Bears.
