The sixth week of the NFL is nearly in the books, with just one game left to play. Several players had incredible performances, along with surprising results from multiple teams.
Arguably the most impressive performance of the week came from the entire NFC North division, with three of the four teams earning wins while the Vikings were on a bye.
This marks the first time that all four teams in a division have each recorded four or more wins through the first six weeks of a season since the 1970 merger. No division has ever had each team make the playoffs in the same season, but it’s not impossible. The teams have a combined record of 17-5, which is the best record through six weeks for the division since it was formed in 2002.
