Week 6 of the NFL season delivered a healthy dose of thrilling finishes, shocking upsets, and dominant performances. Let’s dive into the biggest takeaways from this week’s action!
49ers Grind Out a Crucial Win Against Seattle
The San Francisco 49ers went into Seattle on Thursday night facing a must-win situation against their division rivals. They emerged victorious with a 36-24 win, but it was far from a comfortable victory.
Brock Purdy throws a pass during the 49ers vs. Seahawks game
Rookie quarterback Brock Purdy had a solid performance, but the real star of the show was the 49ers’ rushing attack. Both Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell enjoyed significant success on the ground, allowing San Francisco to control the clock and keep Seattle’s offense off the field.
The Seahawks, meanwhile, continue to struggle with consistency. Despite a late rally, turnovers and an inability to establish the run proved costly. Their 3-0 start feels like a distant memory as they head into Week 7 on a three-game losing streak.
Bears Dominate in London, Caleb Williams Shines
The Chicago Bears made a statement in London, dismantling the Jacksonville Jaguars 35-6. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams put on a show, tossing four touchdown passes in a dominant performance.

Cole Kmet was Williams’ favorite target, finding the endzone twice, while Keenan Allen also added two touchdowns of his own. The Bears’ offense was clicking on all cylinders, a testament to the play-calling of offensive coordinator Luke Getsy.
The Jaguars, on the other hand, looked lost on both sides of the ball. Trevor Lawrence struggled to find any rhythm, and the defense had no answer for Chicago’s offensive firepower. With a 1-5 record, the Jaguars have a lot of work to do to salvage their season.
