It feels like “any given Sunday” happens every Sunday now. No matter the teams, no matter the gambling line, you have to expect the unexpected in the NFL. This Sunday, Bill Belichick tied George Halas for second place on the all-time head coaching wins list with his 324th victory, Matthew Stafford claimed second place all time with his 29th career pick six and the New York football teams won yet again.
Wild things happen every week in the NFL. In fact, five of the eight 1 p.m. games were decided by one score, and five of those eight games were won by the underdog as well! Let’s take a look at the top-five wildest moments from Week 6.
5. Sauce takes the cheese
If you weren’t aware, Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner is a legitimate No. 1 cornerback, and is already a very good player. He recorded three combined tackles and two passes defended in the New York Jets‘ 27-10 win over the Green Bay Packers.
After the game, Gardner found one of the iconic Green Bay cheeseheads, and ran around rocking it before Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard knocked it off his head. Sauce is just gaining confidence as his rookie year rolls on, and he’s a difference-maker for this defense.
Kenny Pickett’s first NFL start did not go according to plan. His Steelers were blown out by 35 points to the Buffalo Bills last week, and he had to fight to keep his head above water in the pocket. However, Pickett scored a 20-18 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in his second career start on Sunday although he was knocked out of the game early due to a concussion. He completed 11 of 18 passes for 67 yards and one touchdown before exiting the matchup. Mitch Trubisky closed out the win in relief, tossing what proved to be the game-winning TD in the fourth quarter.
The Buccaneers were around 9-point favorites in this game, and were expected to fly past the Steelers. A big reason why is because Pittsburgh was without so many important players. Cornerback Cam Sutton (hamstring), cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon (hamstring), cornerback Levi Wallace (concussion), safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (knee) and tight end Pat Freiermuth (concussion) were all ruled out before the game. You probably didn’t notice, but I actually played some special teams for the Steelers on Sunday. Still, Tampa Bay lost.
The 3-3 Buccaneers haven’t looked great to start the year, and this is their worst loss yet. Brady even ripped into his offensive line…
