The Detroit Lions are off this week, and that means a full slate of stress-free games for Week 6. It doesn’t get any better.
Things kick off this week with a big matchup between two potential Super Bowl contenders. The 3-2 Denver Broncos have rebounded from a poor start and are back in the AFC West hunt. The 3-2 Seattle Seahawks are looking to bounce back after a heartbreaking loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
Both the Broncos and Seahawks are in second place in their division—and both are chasing an undefeated team (Chargers and 49ers). If they want to try and keep up with those teams, they can’t afford to lose on this short week.
