The NFL is still as unpredictable as ever through six weeks of the season. There have been 24 games decided by a game-winning touchdown in the final two minutes of regulation or overtime, the second-most in the first six weeks of a season of all-time (only last season — 25 games — had more).
Three teams have separated themselves from the pack. The Philadelphia Eagles remain the class of the NFC as the lone unbeaten team while the Buffalo Bills are the frontrunner in the AFC after beating the Kansas City Chiefs, who remain a major threat.
If there’s a reason why 12 teams have three wins so far, look no further than all the comebacks happening around the league. There have been 19 games in which a team overcame a deficit of at least 10 points to win or tie this season, tied for the most such games in NFL history through six weeks (1987, 2011, 2020).
What did we learn with each NFL team after Week 6? Teams are starting to identify who they really are as a third of the season is complete.
The offense is too inconsistent to be good: If the Cardinals can’t be productive against a defense that was ranked 31st in points allowed and 32nd in yards allowed, when are they ever going to turn a corner?

Murray is 32nd out of 33 qualified quarterbacks in yards per attempt (5.8), also unacceptable for a player of his caliber.
The Cardinals are also 29th in yards per play (4.8). The offense is what it is — inconsistent.
Time to take this team seriously: The Falcons were one of the teams that appeared to be playing for the No. 1 draft pick when the season started, having one of the worst rosters in the NFL and a quarterback in Marcus Mariota who didn’t appear to be the long-term answer,
All Atlanta has done is go 3-3 in its first six games, and the argument could be made the Falcons should be 5-1. The Falcons have won three of their last four games behind a consistent rushing attack and a defense that has 10 takeaways through six games (fifth-most in NFL). No matter who Atlanta trots out there at running back, it produces yards (175 yards per game over the past four…
