After a Thursday Night Football once once more unspectacular, now make way for the rest of the NFL. And for the show, we should be served this Sunday. The Bills move to Kansas City for the remake of a meeting that is still in everyone’s memory. This is THE match not to be missed.
For the rest, the Eagles will try to remain undefeated once morest a division opponent, while Steve Wilks et Aaron Rodgers are in the news right now (for very different reasons). Here is precisely the program for week 6.
The match not to be missed
Kick-off Sunday at 10:25 p.m.
Kansas City Chiefs (4-1) – Buffalo Bills (4-1)
It is one of those matches that remain etched in our memories. All those who had the chance to see this meeting between the Chiefs and the Bills during the playoffs 2021 emerged marked for a long time. And we are not even talking regarding the supporters of the two teams. Difficult then not to evoke this meeting with the approach of this remake. Inevitably, the players, and particularly the coaches, try to minimize the effect of this memory. However, we imagine that it will be present in everyone’s mind.
Complicated indeed for Bills not to think regarding it when you know that this defeat is the object of their motivation: to win the Super Bowl and never experience such a disappointment once more. It has been two years since the Chiefs stand in their way in the playoffs. This meeting certainly opposes what is currently being done best in AFCeven in NFL. The two attacks are fueled thoroughly. Between the duo Patrick Mahomes – Travis Kelce (4 tutorials last week) et Josh Allen and its targets, impossible to say which squad is the best. That’s good, they will be able to measure themselves from Sunday. A kind of dress rehearsal.
Le duel : Jalen Hurts vs. Micah Parsons
Kick-off in the night from Sunday to Monday 02:20
Philadelphia Eagles (5-0) – Dallas Cowboys (4-1)
Since the start of the season, we are still looking for who will be able to stop Philadelphia. Whether it was when the weather was capricious (vs. them Jaguars) or when adversity gave them a hard time (vs. them Cardinals for example)them Eagles have always found a solution. For this Monday Night Football, they face an opponent a cut above defensively. A new test for Jalen Hurts and his. Versus Dallas, they will face one of the best defenses in the championship. It’s simple, only the 49ers and the Bills concede fewer points than them per game (14.4 units/encounter). And if there is a man who symbolizes this defensive solidity, it is the sophomore: Micah Parsons.
After just two years in the league, he is already a defensive star. He has already accumulated 6 des 20 sacks of the Cowboys this season (2nd in NFL)the best total in the league. Jalen Hurts is warned. Even if he too has qualities to show. The pitcher was simply voted offensive player of the month for September in NFC. This is to say the good start to the season that he delivers. In the air or on the run, he always finds a solution. In any case, this duel between Jalen Hurts et Micah Parsonsand more generally between the attack of Eagles and the defense of Cowboys, promises to be exciting. We are already looking forward to it.
At state: 4
Kick-off Sunday at 10:05 p.m.
Los Angeles Rams (2-3) – Carolina Panthers (1-4)
During his first 17 seasons of existence, the franchise of Carolina in me that 2 coaches. Since ? She will chain his 4th in 4 seasons. Steve Wilks is indeed the new master on board for the Panthers. It is not (for the moment) only interim, but he is the Head Coach since the dismissal of Matt Rhule. In just a few days, he will not be able to revolutionize everything. Especially since he should line up P.J. Walker as a starting quarterback. Nothing very exciting then.
However, he announced that he wanted his team to be more aggressive, for example with more passing through. That Carolina has hardly done anything since the start of the season. However, we should not expect an offensive explosion this weekend. Between the Panthers (18.6 points/game, 25th in the league) and the Rams (16 units/game, 28th) now is not the time to attack. The Angels also suffers a lot from a lack of points. Between an offensive line in difficulty and far too recurrent ball losses, it is not the joy on the side of Sean McVay. The technician also sees his team under the bar of 50 % only for the second time since his arrival.
Player: Aaron Rodgers
Kick-off Sunday at 7:00 p.m.
Green Bay Packers (3-2) – New York Jets (3-2)
What if it was the last? The rumor swept the league this week: Aaron Rodgers would think regarding retirement. Normal you will tell me for a player of his age (38 ans)but it’s still weird to hear that a multiple MVP might not play once more. So each exit from the number 12 might then become a capital moment. This weekend, his Packers receive the Jets. After a defeat at London ( once morest another team of New York), Rodgers and his teammates must put the gear forward if they don’t want to fall too far behind the Vikings. On Sunday, they face a team which, on the contrary, is going through a good period. Since the return of Zach Wilsonthem Jets chain.
Two victories in two games and hopes that come back. It’s always more pleasant when you show a positive balance sheet. But if we talk a lot regarding the pitcher in this meeting, the most important duel might rather be on the ground. Green Bay et New York are never as good as when their running game is performing. For it Breece Hall at the Jets et Aaron Jones at Green Bay will be crucial. Both men have shown they are capable of carrying an attack on an encounter. The ability of these two formations to block opposing running backs might be the key to success in this game.
Coach: Winston “Wink” Martindale
Kick-off Sunday at 7:00 p.m.
New York Giants (4-1) – Baltimore Ravens (3-2)
For once, the coach of the week is a defensive coordinator. It must be said that, on the one hand, the one we nickname « Wink » is one of the most well-known and recognized defensive minds in the league. On the other hand, he is very familiar with these two teams. Martindale has indeed been for a long time (10 ans) within Ravens before being fired by John Harbaugh. Since then he has followed Brian Daboll at New York and is one of those who are restoring their letters of nobility to Giants. As proof, the franchise had not had such a good start (4-1) from 2009. This meeting will therefore be special for Wink Martindale.
But once once more, he might have a central role. How to stop Lamar Jackson ? This is the question that all the coordinators have been asking themselves for several seasons. He rubbed shoulders with him much more than the others during his years in the Maryland. From there to have the answer? We will find out on Sunday. One thing is certain, the MVP 2019 should expect many blitzes. The defense of Giants cracked Aaron Rodgers last week and planned to repeat. These two franchises have in any case a common goal: to find the playoffs!
The (other) division duels
Kick-off Sunday at 7:00 p.m.
Indianapolis Colts (2-2-1) – Jacksonville Jaguars (2-3)
Kick-off Sunday at 10:25 p.m.
Seattle Seahawks (2-3) – Arizona Cardinals (2-3)
Kick-off in the night from Monday to Tuesday at 02:30
Los Angeles Chargers (3-2) – Denver Broncos (2-3)
Apart from this wonderful Cowboys–Eagles ahead of us, there will be three more intra-division encounters. In AFC Sud first of all, Jacksonville and the Colts will try to take advantage of the Bye Week of the Titans to put pressure on Tennessee. Durant “the first leg”them Jaguars had prevailed. Indianapolis will want to avenge the affront by taking advantage of the few extra days of recovery, those who played during the Thursday Night Footballlast week.
Always in AFCat west this time, Denver will once more be in prime time. Despite average performance, Broncos will once once more be in the spotlight with this move among the Chargers. The teammates of Russell Wilson have to react if they don’t want to let the bandwagon slip away. Finally, in NFC, Arizona et Seattle want to switch to the good side following a lackluster start to the season. It will be Sunday in the second part of the evening.
The rest
Kick-off Sunday at 7:00 p.m.
Atlanta Falcons (2-3) – San Francisco 49ers (3-2)

Kick-off Sunday at 7:00 p.m.
Pittsburgh Steelers (1-4) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-2)
All the rest of these meetings will take place at 19h. A series of matches that will give pride of place toAFC Nord. Cleveland will first receive Patriots who might find Mac Jones. The two teams are one game under 50% and the objective is clear: to return to balance. The Bengals will play them away. A move on the side of New Orleans which will not be easy once morest a big defense. Finally, Pittsburgh will certainly have the most complicated task with the reception of Tom Brady and Buccaneers.
At the same time, San Francisco hope to maintain its good momentum (two consecutive wins) making life hard for Marcus Mariota and to Falcons. Finally, another team in form at the moment, Minnesota, moves. The Vikings have an appointment in Florida to face a franchise that has quarterback problems at the moment. The opportunity to chain a fifth victory in six games.
