It was a Sunday of high scoring in week six of the NFL as Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson beat out Washington Commanders’ young pretender Jayden Daniels in the feature game of the day.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers hung 51 points on the New Orleans Saints and the Detroit Lions stuck 47 on a demoralised Dallas Cowboys outfit who got humiliated at home yet again.
CJ Stroud’s Houston Texans are rolling along at 5-1 after a third straight win, while Jordan Love’s Green Bay Packers are also warming up nicely on both sides of the ball.
The Atlanta Falcons moved to 4-2 alongside the Pittsburgh Steelers as both took advantage of playing the struggling Carolina Panthers and Las Vegas Raiders respectively.
Jackson wins Daniels showdown
Washington’s rookie superstar Daniels has been likened to Jackson, but it was the two-time MVP who came out on top as the Ravens beat the Commanders 30-23 in Baltimore.
Jackson had 323 yards passing and a touchdown, while Daniels threw for a season’s best 269 yards and two scores, and they both made plays with their legs in an even contest as Daniels more than held his own.
But Washington had no answer to Derrick Henry, who proved to be the difference with 132 rushing yards and two touchdowns as Baltimore became the first side in 1971 with 150-plus yards and a rushing touchdown in their first six games of the season.
After an 0-2 start the Ravens have reeled off four straight wins to look more like the Super Bowl challengers many predicted, and certainly among the best attacks in the game.
On this showing, though, Daniels also looks like the real deal.
