NFL Week 6: October 12 — October 16, 2017
We’ve reached week 6 of the 2017 NFL season, and who would have thought at this point the AFC East would be the most competitive division in football? The Bills, Jets and Patriots are all tied (3-2) and Miami (2-2) is just a half-game behind, having missed the first week of football. The standings are going to start looking strange at this point, as teams have begun bye weeks.
For local Chicago residents, we’ve got a nice NFC North match-up between the Minnesota Vikings (3-2) and the Green Bay Packers (4-1). Who knows what Aaron Rodgers will perform as an encore to his masterpiece last week against the Cowboys (2-3). The Pack visit Minnesota, so that may be one of the more-competitive games this week. Other games that stand out include the Steelers (3-2) taking on the undefeated Chiefs (5-0) in Kansas City, and interestingly enough, the Jacksonville Jaguars (3-2) hosting the Los Angeles Rams (3-2) should help assess whether or not these teams belong in the upper-tier of 2017 teams.
