Seattle’s decision to replace Geno Smith with Sam Darnold was a bold one, but Darnold’s performance has more than justified the move. He’s currently playing like one of the league’s top quarterbacks, and if he maintains this level of play, there’s every reason to believe the Seahawks can contend in the NFC.

We'll examine team performance in various categories after each week of the 2025 NFL season.

It’s hard to believe that we’re already a third of the way through the NFL season, but the way some of these rookies have developed in such a short period of time, one could be forgiven for thinking we were even later into the season.

The Falcons rode an explosive first half to a surprise win over the Bills, while the Commanders' three turnovers proved costly against the Bears.

When the Buffalo Bills ventured into Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Monday night, many anticipated that arguably the NFL’s best team would return to its dominant ways after a surprising Week 5 loss. Instead, the Atlanta Falcons asserted their playoff competitiveness with an overwhelming 24-14 victory — fueled in large part by the team’s resurgent defense under new defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich.

The Packers' Matthew Golden and the Giants' Jaxson Dart were among the first-round standouts in Week 6 of the 2025 season.

The Bears erased an eight-point fourth-quarter deficit to stun the Commanders 25-24, capped by Jake Moody’s 38-yard game-winning field goal as time expired. Moody, cut by the 49ers after Week 1, hit four field goals in his Chicago debut, while D’Andre Swift powered the offense with 175 total yards. A Jayden Daniels fumble set up the Bears' final drive, helping secure their third straight win.

The Falcons defense overwhelmed Josh Allen with constant pressure and two interceptions, leading Atlanta to a 24-14 win over the Bills on Monday Night Football. Bijan Robinson fueled the offense with 176 total yards and a breakaway touchdown, while Michael Penix Jr. and Drake London made key plays early.

The Chiefs looked sharp on Sunday night, with Patrick Mahomes topping 250 passing yards and Travis Kelce adding 78 in a 30-17 win over the banged-up Lions. Kansas City’s offense found its rhythm to even its record at 3-3. The performance offered a reassuring glimpse of cohesion after early-season struggles.

Baker Mayfield delivered early fourth-quarter heroics to lead the Buccaneers past the 49ers, 30-19, improving Tampa Bay to 5-1. Mayfield threw two touchdown passes and extended a key drive with a spectacular third-and-14 scramble, setting up a 45-yard strike to rookie Tez Johnson for the clinching score. San Francisco, already banged up, lost star linebacker Fred Warner to a season-ending ankle injury, while Mac Jones threw for 347 yards but was picked off twice in the loss.

The high-powered Packers got back on track after their bye week, downing the languishing Bengals 27-18. Rookie Matthew Golden enjoyed a career-best day with 102 scrimmage yards, and Josh Jacobs added two more scores on the ground.
