After a week of surprising and entertaining games in the NFL, it seems a few teams have changed their appearance.

On Thursday, after countless penalties costing dozens of yards, the Denver Broncos suffered a devastating defeat to the San Diego Chargers, 21-13. Trevor Siemian had 30 completions for 230 yards and one touchdown, while Philip Rivers had 18 completions for 178 yards and one touchdown. This dragged the Broncos down from 4-1 to 4-2, losing two consecutive games in a row after winning four consecutive to start the season.

On Sunday, the Redskins took down the Eagles, 27-20, taking them to 4-2 this season. The Dolphins proved victorious over the Steelers, winning with a score of 30-15. The Titans beat the Browns, 28 to 26, and now the Browns are 0-6 and the only team in the league to not have won a game thus far this season.

The Bills have won their fourth consecutive game after they defeated the 49ers, a final score of 45-16. Tyrod Taylor was 17 for 26 for 179 yards and two touchdown. LeSean McCoy had 140 yards rushing and 3 touchdowns.

The Packers were bumped to 3-2 after a humiliating defeat to the Cowboys, 30-16. The Cowboys are now 5-1 behind rookie QB/RB tandem Dak Prescott, and Ezikiel Elliott.

The New England Patriots are also 5-1 after a game in which they handled the Bengals, 35-17. Tom Brady was 29 for 35 for 376 yards and 3 touchdown passes. Rob Gronkowski had seven receptions for 162 yards and one touchdown.

And the Seahawks defeated the Falcons, 24-26, after a controversial “no-call” of pass-interference by the refs which, had been called, could have potentially cost the game for the Seahawks. Russell Wilson was 25 for 37 for 270 yards.

For a few certain teams, they have to ensure victories in the next weeks to come. The Broncos need to stop their current losing streak to regain that Super Bowl fever.

Looking ahead to week 7, the red hot Buffalo Bills will square off against an equally impressive New England Patriots team that is surging once again behind their future hall of fame QB, Tom Brady. Be sure to check back next week for more NFL coverage!
