NFL - Week Six Review

The Dallas Cowboys completely dominated what is supposed to be one of the best defenses in the NFL as they won 40-7 at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was the second straight week the Jags vaunted defense was lit up.
Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott ran for 106 yards and scored a touchdown while quarterback Dak Prescott had a pair of touchdown passes and a rushing score in the rout.
Mahomes and Brady put on a show on Sunday night
The New England Patriots blew a 15-point halftime lead against the visiting Kansas City Chiefs (5-1) before eventually coming away with a 43-40 victory to become the first team to beat the Chiefs this season.
Patriots QB Tom Brady led the team on the drive to the winning field goal, a 28-yard kick as time expired by Stephen Gostkowski, after Kansas City QB Patrick Mahomes (352 passing yards, four TD and two interceptions) threw a 75-yard scoring pass to Tyreek Hill (three TD receptions) that tied the game at 40-40 late in the fourth quarter.  The two teams combined for 946 yards in offense.
Todd Gurley had another huge game for the unbeaten LA Rams
The Los Angeles Rams (6-0) won on the road, 23-20 against the Denver Broncos to remain undefeated as running back Todd Gurley, the Heftyinfo NFL Player of the Week, went off for 208 yards rushing and two touchdowns to lead the way.
The Pittsburgh Steelers scored on a 31-yard TD pass from Ben Roethlisberger to wide receiver Antonio Brown with ten seconds left to defeat the Cincinnati Bengals, 28-21. Cincinnati had taken a 21-20 lead with 1:18 remaining in the fourth quarter on a four-yard scoring run by Joe Mixon.
The Baltimore Ravens crushed the host Tennessee Titans, 21-0 as their defense amassed ELEVEN quarterback sacks in the game. The Titans managed only seven first downs and gained just 106 yards in total offense.
The Miami Dolphins surprised the Chicago Bears, 31-28 in overtime as kicker Jason Sanders made a 47-yard field goal as time expired. Bears kicker Cody Parkey missed a 53-yard field goal try that could have won the game earlier in the OT session. Miami RB Kenyan Drake fumbled the ball away at the goal line on the Dolphins' first OT possession.
Dolphins backup QB Brock Osweiler had three TD passes and 380 yards passing in the win while Bears QB Mitch Trubisky had three TD passes as well. Over 1,000 yards in offense combined in this one.
