Yahoo Sports Staff Updated Sun, October 18, 2026 at 5:45 PM UTC About Our Ads Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement We've got another exciting Sunday slate to follow up a heaping serving of London football with our morning coffee, as the Houston Texans take on the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium .
Week 6 will see a couple of players return from significant injuries, including Bears quarterback Caleb Williams from a hamstring injury and A.J. Brown, who was activated from injured reserve with an ankle injury ahead of Sunday's AFC East showdown with the Jets.
Elsewhere, the Eagles and Ravens will be without their starting quarterbacks, as Jalen Hurts landed on IR this week with a blood clot in his leg, and Lamar Jackson continues to work his way back from an ankle issue.
There are four teams out on a bye in Week 6 — the Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions, Miami Dolphins and Minnesota Vikings — so, while they rest up, follow along with us and enjoy the action.
Follow along with Yahoo Sports for live updates, highlights and more from Week 6's Sunday game slate.
Buccaneers backup quarterback Jalon Daniels led the offense down the field against the Steelers' defense.
Daniels found Emeka Egbuka for the two-yard score. This put Tampa Bay up 10-0 early on Pittsburgh.
Coming into Week 6, Cam Skattebo started every single game for the New York Giants this season. But ahead of Sunday's game, rumors started swirling that Najee Harris would take over as the team's starter due to Skattebo's fumbling issues.
Turns out, Harris wasn't the only member of the Giants to jump Skattebo on the depth chart. As the first quarter ended, Skattebo did not have a single touch against the New Orleans Saints.
Meanwhile, five other members of the Giants were credited with a rushing attempt. In addition to Harris, who started the contest, Tyrone Tracy, Devin Singletary, Jameis Winston and Darnell Mooney all got rushing attempts in the first quarter.
After scoring a 42-yard touchdown earlier in the game against the Jets, wide receiver Romeo Doubs is headed to the locker room.
Doubs sustained a shoulder injury and is questionable to return.
Penix was able to stay in the game after a brief stint in the medical tent.
His first play on the next drive was a 5-yard pass to Drake London. The Falcons then lost three yards on a Bijan Robinson reception and Penix had an incompletion.
As the second quarter started, Atlanta was forced to punt, still trailing 14-0.
Buccaneers undrafted rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels pulled off an impressive feat by catching his own pass.
Daniels' pass was deflected at the line, but he was able to come down with it. The problem was that he was instantly tackled, and it will go down as a three-yard loss.
The Browns had a more successful second drive on offense, but not by much. After Deshaun Watson picked up a single yard on a scramble, the quarterback hit Jerry Jeudy for a nine-yard gain and a fresh set of downs.
Three plays later, though, the Browns were unable to make any more progess down the field and had to punt.
Titans defender Amani Hooker was barely able to get his toes in, but held on just long enough to secure an impressive interception.
Drake Maye made up for his slow start on the opening drive, with a home run shot to Romeo Doubs.
The wide receiver made a diving grab in the end zone for a 42-yard touchdown.
He doesn't appear to be coming out of the game, but Michael Penix Jr. was checked out in the medical tent during Chicago's last drive.
Last week against Baltimore, he picked up a rib injury that caused him to miss the Falcons' overtime possession.
After forcing a Cleveland punt, Baltimore moved down the field, but stalled in field goal range. Tyler Loop drilled a 34-yard field goal.
Baltimore is up 10-0 with 4:37 in the opening frame.
D'Andre Swift capped off a 9-play, 59-yard touchdown drive by running in a score from four yards out.
Cleveland's opening drive ended in a three-and-out.
Deshaun Watson had an incompletion on first down to Denzel Boston. With Quinshon Judkins out due to an injury, Jaleel McLaughlin got the first carry for the Browns and gained five yards.
Calais Campbell then sacked Watson on third down, and the Browns had to punt.
Williams is already showing what has been missing for the Bears since he was hurt in Week 2.
Facing third and 17, Williams connected with Rome Odunze for a first down.
Odunze picked up 23 yards, and then Williams immediately found Luther Burden for a 25-yard gain through the air.
On Sunday morning, it was reported that Najee Harris would start at running back for the Giants against the Saints.
The report also included that New York was content to rotate its backfield throughout the game. In the first quarter, Jameis Winston barely got a swing pass to Tyrone Tracy, but the running back dodged would-be tacklers and got into the end zone.
Rodgers had a pass attempt deflected at the line. Buccaneers defender A'Shawn Robinson made a heads-up play and came down with the ball after it was deflected off Yaya Diaby.
The Jets drove down the field to open the game but settled for a field goal.
The Patriots then got the ball, but Drake Maye's third-and-short pass attempt was knocked down at the line. New England was forced to punt, and New York will look to extend its early lead.
Baltimore looked like it had been stuffed at the goal line on three consecutive plays by the Cleveland defense.
Backup quarterback Snoop Huntley got the offense near the goal line, but Derrick Henry, who had been super productive earlier on the drive, was stuffed twice.
Head coach Jesse Minter opted to risk it for the biscuit and went for it on fourth and goal. Huntley bought some time with his legs before finding rookie tight end Josh Cuevas for his first career touchdown.
The quarterback avoided the pressure from the defense and fired a pass to his tight end, Colston Loveland, for the 14-yard score.
Chicago takes an early 7-0 lead over Atlanta in the first quarter.
Caleb Williams hit Rome Odunze for a two-yard gain when the offense needed 11. The wide receiver then pitched it back to running back Roschon Johnson, who took it for an additional 12 yards and the first down.
Baltimore is already on the edge of the red zone thanks to an opening drive led largely by veteran running back Derrick Henry.
The star RB has already rushed for 11 and 17 yards on his first two carries of the game.
