What we learned from Week 6 in the NFL

Rams 24, Cheetahs 10: The Panthers’ downward spiral continued as Carolina played without quarterback Baker Mayfield (ankle) starting and receiving coach Robbie Anderson was kicked out of the game in the second half after he and the machine went multiple times on the sidelines. L.A.’s reward was Allen Robinson’s final appearance, earning a season-high 63 yards thanks in part to a superb rear-shoulder grab along the sideline.

Seahawks 19, Cardinals 9: The Seahawks had notable play from the Novices, including running back Kenneth Walker III, who blasted off 34 yards and landed 11 yards early in the fourth quarter. Rookie player Tariq Wolin suffered two spins, a faltering recovery and an interception.

Bills 24, Kansas City 20: Josh Allen turned around the snooze fest with another Bills possession in the first half. Buffalo drove on a 96-yard touchdown drive that included third and 13 of the Bills’ 1-yard line. Both quarterbacks showed their best qualities in the second half – Allen’s arm strength, deft pocket management and Mahomes creativity – until Mahomes eventually got the ball back and immediately threw the ball into Taron Johnson’s nickel corner.

Vikings 24, Dolphins 16: Quarterback injuries continue to come to dolphins. Skylar Thompson earned a Dolphins start with Teddy Bridgewater after removing a concussion protocol on Saturday. Thompson injured his thumb in the middle of the competition, pushing Bridgewater less than 100 percent into the game, and Dolphins’ offense never found a foothold. The Vikings won their fourth game in a row behind another 100-yard game from Justin Jefferson.

Falcons 28 and 49 rice 14: It’s never fun for a team to be without its entire primary line of defense, as was the case in San Francisco, but it’s especially suboptimal against the attack devised by Arthur Smith. The Hawks’ accelerated attack has been a machine this season, mixing traditional outdoor area running schemes with quarterback drills and a handful of gaps to keep defenses on their toes. It worked perfectly against a depleted 49er front as the Hawks ran 40 times, providing effective gains and opening up the action game to help Marcus Mariota go 13 for 14 for 129 yards and two degrees.

Patriots 38, Browns 15: The Browns weren’t wounded on the ground in the usual way, but that didn’t matter. Patriots rookie quarterback Billy Zap shaped the bust-prone Browns’ minor side by quickly pushing the ball into the playmakers and providing a few playing passes. Additionally, future Patriots rookie Tyquan Thornton finally saw the game move, hitting 2 yards above the middle of the end zone in the third quarter and running with a score in the fourth.

27 planes, 10 packs: The Jets dominated the match up front on both sides. When attacking, they ran relentlessly at the Packers’ weak front, even hitting some tricks in order to land. Defensively, Gates’ four-man pass destroyed the Packers offensive line. Minor stunts and twists regularly caused Packers players to have spells, forcing Aaron Rodgers to play during the siege throughout the match.
