NFL Week 6

San Francisco 49ers (1-5) 17
Oakland Raiders (2-4) 9
The 49ers finally won a game. ESPN's Mike Greenberg's Super Bowl pick moves to 1-5 on the season. San Francisco has weapons. Alex Smith threw two touchdown passes. Frank Gore rushed for almost 150 yards. Michael Crabtree and Vernon Davis both had touchdown receptions. Wide receiver Josh Morgan had three catches for 49 yards. And the defense played well, holding Oakland to only 180 yards of total offense. They did commit 11 penalties, costing them 143 yards. If the 49ers can cut down on giving away free yards to the opposing team, this team has a chance to make the playoffs in a less than stellar NFC West.

New England Patriots (4-1) 23
Baltimore Ravens (4-2) 20
Randy who? That's what Patriots fans were screaming after their overtime victory against the Baltimore Ravens. In his return to New England, Deion Branch caught nine passes for 98 yards and a touchdown. The Patriots struggled to stretch the field early, but Branch proved to be a reliable receiver for Tom Brady down the stretch. The Patriots' defense held the Ravens to punts on their final five possessions.


New York Giants (4-2) 28
Detroit Lions (1-5) 20
The Lions lost their 24th consecutive road game. They tied the NFL record, which they set in 2004. The Giants have won their third straight since starting the season 1-2.


Philadelphia Eagles (4-2) 31
Atlanta Falcons (4-2) 17
The Eagles' Kevin Kolb showed why there is a legitimate quarterback controversy brewing in Philadelphia. Kolb led the Eagles to a 14-point victory, throwing 326 yards and three touchdowns. Wide receiver Jeremy Maclin filled in nicely for the injured DaSean Jackson, catching seven passes for 159 yards and two touchdowns.

Pittsburgh Steelers (4-1) 28
Cleveland Browns (1-5) 10
Big Ben is back. Roethlisberger's three-touchdown performance shows why the Steelers could be the favorites to win the AFC North, and maybe even the AFC Championship. In his first game back from suspension, Roethlisberger completed 59% of his passes for 257 yards. With consistent quarterback play, this team will be a force going forward.


Minnesota Vikings (2-3) 24
Dallas Cowboys (1-4) 21
In a game that many were calling a "playoff game in October" the Vikings outlasted the disappointing Dallas Cowboys. Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin returned a kickoff 95-yards for a touchdown. And two Tony Romo interceptions resulted in 10 more points for the Vikings. The Vikings are now 2-3, and they're one game behind the Packers for 2nd in the NFC North. The Cowboys are 1-4 and sit alone at the bottom of the NFC East.


Indianapolis Colts (4-2) 27
