Explore official NFL gear and team merch now at Pro Merch. The NFL’s Week 6 slate was a thriller from start to finish — a weekend that reminded fans why autumn Sundays (and Mondays) belong to football. From shocking upsets to heartbreaking injuries, powerhouse performances to season-defining losses, the league is starting to take shape — and so are the playoff races.

As we move deeper into October, contenders are emerging, dark horses are fighting to stay in the mix, and some early favorites are starting to show cracks. Here’s a full breakdown of everything that went down in Week 6 of the 2025 NFL season, streaming across networks and powering passionate fans everywhere through Pro Merch’s official NFL collection.

🏈 Undefeated Titans Fall: Eagles and Bills Suffer First Losses

It finally happened — both the Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills fell for the first time this season.

• The Eagles dropped a tight one to the Denver Broncos, whose defense stepped up in spectacular fashion to hand Jalen Hurts and company their first L of 2025.
• Meanwhile, the New England Patriots stunned the Bills in Foxborough, pulling off a narrow, gritty win that might mark a turning point in their rebuilding season.

For Philadelphia and Buffalo, it’s not panic time yet — but both teams will need to reset fast as midseason approaches.

🚨 Buccaneers Make a Statement in San Francisco

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made sure the football world remembered their name this weekend. Despite being down several key starters — including Mike Evans, Chris Godwin Jr., and rookie Bucky Irving — the Bucs took down the heavily favored San Francisco 49ers in a stunning 30-19 upset.

It was a tough day for San Francisco fans, as defensive anchors Nick Bosa and Fred Warner both went down with season-ending injuries. Add in injuries to Ricky Pearsall, George Kittle, and Emeka Egbuka, and the Niners are suddenly facing an uphill battle just to stay afloat in the NFC playoff picture.

⚔️ AFC West Heats Up: Chiefs Back in Business, Broncos Rise

The Kansas City Chiefs reminded everyone why you can never count them out, earning a crucial 30-17 win over the Detroit Lions to climb back to .500 at 3-3. Patrick Mahomes looked sharp, connecting with Rashee Rice for two scores as Kansas City salvaged what could’ve been a spiraling season.

On the other hand, the Denver Broncos — yes, those Broncos — are suddenly legitimate contenders in the AFC West. With back-to-back wins and a defense that’s locking down elite offenses, Denver’s resurgence is one of the most unexpected storylines of the year.

🏆 Steelers Surge to the Top of the AFC North

The Pittsburgh Steelers are quietly taking command of the AFC North. After a convincing 23-9 win over the Cleveland Browns, and with the Baltimore Ravens suffering another stumble, the division now runs through Pittsburgh.

Mike Tomlin’s squad continues to win the way Steelers football has always been played — defense, discipline, and just enough offensive spark when it counts.

🐎 Colts Keep Rolling Behind Jonathan Taylor

Few teams have been more consistent in 2025 than the Indianapolis Colts. Now 5-1 after a thrilling 31-27 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, Indy’s confidence is sky-high. Running back Jonathan Taylor sealed the deal late with a 16-yard touchdown burst, proving once again why he’s among the league’s elite.

At this pace, the Colts look every bit like an AFC playoff lock — and maybe even a sleeper Super Bowl threat.

🐦 Seahawks Soar Past Jaguars

The Seattle Seahawks continued their midseason push, improving to 4-2 with a 20-12 road win over Jacksonville. Geno Smith has been steady, the defense opportunistic, and Pete Carroll’s energy has the Pacific Northwest buzzing again.

🚫 Jets Still Searching for Answers

For the New York Jets, it’s becoming a long season. After a 13-11 loss to Denver, they remain the NFL’s only winless team. The offense continues to sputter, and while the defense has held strong, frustration is clearly mounting in the locker room.

🔥 Week 6 Sunday Scores

🩹 Injury Rundown: Major Names Down

Week 6 wasn’t kind to some of the league’s top stars. Notable injuries include:

• Fred Warner (49ers) – Dislocated ankle (out for season)
• Nick Bosa (49ers) – Torn ACL (out for season)
• Ricky Pearsall (49ers) – Knee injury
• George Kittle (49ers) – Undisclosed
• Emeka Egbuka (49ers) – Hamstring
• Mike Evans (Buccaneers) – Hamstring
• Chris Godwin Jr. (Buccaneers) – Fibula
• Bucky Irving (Buccaneers) – Foot/shoulder
• Terry McLaurin (Commanders) – Quad
• Noah Brown (Commanders) – Knee/groin

The injury bug hit hard this week — especially for the 49ers and Buccaneers — but depth and resilience will determine who survives the grind of the 18-week season.

⚡ Monday Night Football Doubleheader

Week 6 wraps up with two marquee matchups:

• Buffalo Bills (4-1) at Atlanta Falcons (2-2) — ESPN
• Chicago Bears (2-2) at Washington Commanders (3-2) — ABC

With playoff positioning already taking shape, both games carry big implications — particularly for Buffalo, who will look to rebound after their first loss.

🏆 Looking Ahead: Playoff Races Begin to Take Form

With six weeks in the books, the NFL standings are tightening fast. Teams like Indianapolis, Tampa Bay, and Pittsburgh are asserting themselves, while others are scrambling to stay relevant. Every game from here on out matters — and Week 7 promises even more drama.
