NFL Week 6
Well, another week of football is finished! This week consisted of some thrilling games and a decent number of blowouts as well. The week was also full of outstanding individual performances. So, without any further ado, let’s get started!
Saints vs Bengals
A game where the former quarterback for the Bengals, Andy Dalton, took on his former team. A game loaded with star power; this was bound to be a good game. Both offenses got off to quick starts with both teams scoring touchdowns in the first quarter to make the score 7-7. The second quarter consisted of four scoring drives. The Saints could not be stopped however, with them scoring another touchdown and two field goals in the quarter. The Bengals were hanging in there though with scoring another touchdown by a running play from quarterback Joe Burrow. The score was 20-14 Saints going into halftime. The game continued its scoring trend in the` third quarter with the Saints scoring another field goal. The Bengals had a familiar site with a 15-yard touchdown catch by wide receiver Ja’marr Chase. The score 23-21 Saints going into the final quarter. The Saints kicker was having himself a great night scoring his fourth field goal of the night and making the score 26-21 Saints. The Bengals just kept finding ways to stay in it though. The Bengals scored another field goal and made the score a very close 26-24 with 3 minutes and 42 seconds left. This was where the Bengals magic came in with a 60 yard touchdown pass caught by no other but Ja’marr Chase. With that the Bengals now led 30-26. Andy Dalton and the Saints were not able to put any magic together as the Bengals squeaked out the win 30-26. Joe Burrow had the quarterback performance of the week throwing for 200 yards and four touchdowns. I think that Joe Burrow should be considered a top five quarterback now. What do you think?

Bills vs Chiefs
The most anticipated game of the week, this game was bound to be great and sure enough, it was. A matchup of in my opinion the two best quarterbacks in the league. Josh Allen on the Bills and Patrick Mahomes on the Chiefs. The game started off a bit slow with no scores in the first quarter. But in the second quarter, both teams got going. The Bills were first to score with a field goal taking the lead 3-0. The Chiefs had a counter of their own however, with a 42 yard connection from Patrick Mahomes to wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster for a touchdown helping the Chiefs to take a 7-3 lead. The Bills like usual drove the ball all away down the field scoring a touchdown of their own. After a last second field goal by the Chiefs, the game was tied at 10-10 going into halftime. The game would not stop being close. Both teams put together touchdown drives of their own again in the third quarter. Like everybody wanted, the game was tied going into the fourth quarter. The Chiefs took the lead 20-17 after a field goal made by kicker Harrison Butker. The fourth quarter was not filled with scores but still managed to keep everybody on the edge of their seat. The Bills could not be denied however scoring a go-ahead touchdown with a minute and 4 seconds left in the game. The Bills led 24-20 but they still gave Patrick Mahomes time. All Bills fans were on the edge of their seats as the Chiefs offense walked onto the field. As it seemed like the Chiefs might put together a game winning drive Patrick Mahomes made a game losing mistake throwing an interception! Just like that, the Bills had won the game 24-20. What a game for all fans!
