The Arizona Cardinals (6-0) Are NFL’s Top Dog After Routing Cleveland Browns (37-14)

Six weeks into the 2021 NFL season and one team reigns supreme. The Arizona Cardinals, fresh off a 23-point drumming of the Cleveland Browns, are now 6-0 as the league’s only remaining unbeaten team. But the gap between top dog and the teams lurking in the shadows isn’t a wide one. Six other teams with one loss are quickly stringing together win streaks. Let’s take a look at the top tier of the NFL before recapping the top moments of Week 6.

Week 6 Highlights & Storylines

 

Rodgers Owns the Bears: Aaron Rodgers powered the Packers to their fifth straight win in Chicago (24-14), and he was caught on mic with a little trash talk.

 

Ravens Roll Chargers: Everything was going right for the L.A. Chargers until they strolled into Baltimore where the Ravens defense held the Bolts to a season-low six points (34-6).

 

Raiders Win Without Gruden: In their first game since the firing of head coach Jon Gruden, the Raiders held off the Broncos on the road (34-24).

 

Cowboys Win 5th Straight: It took all 60 minutes and then some, but the Cowboys prevailed over the Patriots (35-29, OT) behind another big day from QB Dak Prescott.
