NFL Week 6

     The best matchup week 6 had to offer in my opinion was the 5-0 Lions against the 4-1 49er's.  Despite winning both the turnover and penalty ratios, the Lions lost by six points, largely due to the tough 49er's defense causing five sacks and a safety.  This loss makes the Green Bay Packers to only remaining undefeated team in the NFL with a record of 6-0.
      Another surprise victory was the New York Giants handing the Buffalo Bills their 2nd loss of the season, behind the career high three touchdowns by New York's Ahmad Bradshaw.  Bradshaw may sound like a familiar name because he is from Bluefield, Virginia, and he graduated from Marshall Univeristy.  Below is a picture of Bradshaw from when he was the starting running back at Marshall.
                                        
     The previously struggling Philadelphia Eagles knocked off their divisional rival Washington Redskins by a score of 20-13.  The Redskins were plagued by the four interceptions thrown by Rex Grossman, and coach Mike Shanahan made the decision to bench Grossman in the 4th quarter for backup John Beck.
     The New England Patriots managed to beat the Dallas Cowboys 20-16 after a late 4th quarter touchdown pass from Tom Brady to Aaron Hernandez.  Also, the Oakland Raiders defeated the Cleveland Browns by a score of 24-17.  More importantly was the injury suffered by Oakland's starting quarterback Jason Campbell in which he broke his collarbone.  Campbell will be out for at least six weeks after taking the sack which is pictured below.
                
     The Monday night football game was somewhat of a blowout as the New York Jets beat the Miami Dolphins 24-6.  The most exciting plays were the two interceptions made by Jet's cornerback Darrelle Revis, one of which was returned for a 100-yard touchdown.  The Dolphins drop to a record of 0-5, making them and the 0-6 Indianapolis Colts the only two remaining NFL teams without a win in 2011.
