Week 6 sees the NFC South splitting wins as Carolina climbs to 3‑2 while Tampa Bay slips to 1‑5. The Buccaneers blow a 16‑3 lead, losing to the Steelers in overtime as rookie QB Jalon Daniels and coach Todd Bowles face growing pressure. The Panthers capitalize on Jalen Hurts’ absence, beating the Eagles behind Bryce Young and Chuba Hubbard but still worry about pass defense. The Falcons rally from a 31‑7 deficit to fall 31‑23 to Chicago, needing to improve before facing the 49ers.

After a 3‑2 start, the Bengals return from their bye with a sobering look at an offense that leans heavily on Joe Burrow’s arm. The rushing attack ranks 18th in the NFL, averaging just 3.6 yards per carry, a mere two touchdowns and a league‑worst 13‑yard longest run. Chase Brown out‑carries Samaje Perine, but the unit shows no consistent ground threat, especially against top run defenses like Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh. By contrast, the passing game shines: Burrow has 1,361 yards (6th), 11 TDs (4th) and only three picks, while Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins combine for over 800 yards and four TDs each. The analysis grades the run at a C‑ (71%) and suggests the sky‑high aerial attack could spark a post‑bye surge.
