Welcome to the Week 6 grades!
It took six weeks, but we finally got our first 50-burger of the season, and it came on Sunday when the Buccaneers beat the Saints 51-27. Going into Week 6, the highest point total by any team this year was 47, which the Saints (Week 1) and Bills (Week 3) had both previously pulled off. The Lions also matched that total during their 47-9 win over the Cowboys.
The Buccaneers led a high-scoring slate of Week 6 games that saw nine teams score at least 30 points, including the Chicago Bears. The Bears went to London and put up 35 on Jacksonville, and after scoring 36 in Week 5, that means the Bears have now put up at least 35 points in two straight weeks for the first time since 2013. It’s been MORE THAN A DECADE.
So how did the Bears grade out?
