Maryland alum Chad Ryland delivers a dramatic upset for the Arizona Cardinals, nailing a 43-yard game‑winning field goal as time expires to beat the Los Angeles Rams 18‑16 in Week 6. Ryland set a personal best with six field goals, improving to 14‑of‑16 (87.5%) this season.

The article also notes other Maryland alumni across the league, from Jalen Huskey (Jaguars) to Chig Okonkwo (Commanders). Arizona heads to Denver next Sunday.
The 49ers hold onto a perfect 6‑0 record after a gritty 23‑17 victory over the one‑win Washington Commanders in Week 6. Despite a second‑half slump and questionable officiating, key defensive plays—most notably Malik Mustapha’s game‑saving hit and Romello Height’s pressure work—helped San Francisco secure the win and keep NFC West rivals Seattle and L.A. at bay. Brock Purdy added to his passing record, while injuries remain a concern as the team eyes future MVP talk.
The NFC West shakes up as the San Francisco 49ers hold a perfect 6‑0 record, edging out a late Washington Commanders rally to win 23‑17 in Santa Clara. Seattle’s Seahawks fall to 3‑3 after a Thursday loss to Denver, while the Rams stumble to 2‑4 amid injuries. Key moments included a blown face‑mask penalty on Washington, a crucial 4th‑down stop by Malik Mustapha, and multiple penalties that stalled the Commanders’ comeback. Looking ahead, the 49ers travel to Atlanta, the Seahawks face Kansas City, the Cardinals host Denver, and the Rams visit Las Vegas.

The article speculates how a bold trade for Stafford, paired with Jonathan Taylor and Michael Pittman, might have turned a 9‑8 season into a playoff run, while the Rams’ fortunes without Stafford remain uncertain. It also examines the Colts’ draft choices, including DE Kwity Paye, and the broader impact of QB trades on franchise trajectories.
