With nine teams scoring at least 30 points, Week 6 in the NFL was an offensive showcase. Teams averaged a combined 49.7 points per games (with the Bills vs. Jets still to come tonight), and six squads had at least 400 yards of offense. And this didn’t just come against the league’s bottom-dwellers: The Bucs put up 51 against the Saints and the Lions scored 47 on the Cowboys.

Along with yesterday’s NFL action, the Dodgers tied an MLB playoff record with 33 consecutive scoreless innings and won 9-0 in game 1 against the Mets, and the Liberty had a 31-point first quarter against the Lynx and never looked back en route to tying the WNBA Finals at 1.

In today’s newsletter, Jack has Monday Night Football, Craig is covering the MLB playoffs and analyzes contenders in the NBA’s Eastern Conference, and we take a look back at NFL week 6 by the numbers.
