The 32 things we learned from Week 6 of the 2025 NFL season:
0. Still the number of wins the New York Jets have since Jan. 5, former QB Aaron Rodgers’ final game with the team. Rookie coach Aaron Glenn, now 0-6, was already the first in team history to start 0-5.
1. The number of undrafted players to amass at least 200 yards from scrimmage in consecutive games since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. That would be Carolina Panthers RB Rico Dowdle, who followed up his 234-yard performance in Week 5 with 239 more (plus a TD) on Sunday while making good on his bid for revenge against his former team, the Dallas Cowboys. He is the only player of any kind in the past five seasons with back-to-back 200-yard days. Dowdle, who rushed for nearly 1,100 yards with Dallas in 2024 but was not re-signed, has started the past two games for injured Chuba Hubbard – both of them narrow Carolina wins.
1a. Dowdle’s big day also marked the most yards from scrimmage a player had posted against his former team … ever.
2. The top two players picked atop the 2024 NFL draft – Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams and Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels – will meet for the second time in two seasons Monday night outside the nation’s capital. Last year’s matchup ended with Daniels tossing a game-winning Hail Mary, which helped spark the Commanders’ push to the NFC title game while sending Chicago into a 10-game tailspin.
