Week 6 of the NFL season continued on Sunday with a flurry of divisional matchups, providing plenty of thrilling moments for football fans. Here is a recap of the top moments from the games:
The Minnesota Vikings emerged victorious in a tight battle against the Chicago Bears, with a final score of 19-13. The Vikings showed resilience after their quarterback, Kirk Cousins, threw an interception, only to see the Bears’ quarterback, Justin Fields, suffer the same fate. The Vikings took advantage and scored a touchdown through a pass from Cousins to Jordan Addison. However, the extra point attempt was blocked.
In the same game, Fields had to leave the field early in the third quarter due to a right hand injury. He was ruled out for the remainder of the game, and the Bears had to rely on backup quarterback Tyson Bagent. Unfortunately for the Bears, Bagent was strip-sacked by the Vikings’ safety Josh Metellus, resulting in a Vikings touchdown. Although Bagent executed a quarterback sneak for a touchdown, Chicago couldn’t complete the comeback.
The San Francisco 49ers faced off against the Cleveland Browns in a game that began with a confrontation between players from both teams. According to reports, the altercation was sparked by a debate over whether “Barbie” or “Oppenheimer” was better.
On the field, the 49ers struck first with a touchdown from Christian McCaffrey. Unfortunately for San Francisco, McCaffrey left the game due to a shoulder injury. However, the 49ers managed to regain the lead after an interception by Deommodore Lenoir led to a touchdown run by Jordan Mason.
In another game, the Houston Texans secured a 20-13 victory over the New Orleans Saints. The Texans started strong with a touchdown pass from C.J. Stroud to Dalton Schultz.
