Week 6 NFL scores: Bears, Titans and Panthers shake up standings
Bryce Young earns MVP buzz as the Bears, Titans and Panthers deliver pivotal Week 6 results across the NFL.
The Tennessee Titans secured a victory over the Indianapolis Colts during Week 6 of the 2026 NFL season, while the Chicago Bears continued their high-scoring run with another win against the Atlanta Falcons. The Carolina Panthers also posted a result against the Philadelphia Eagles, capping a Sunday slate that shifted several divisional races.
Bryce Young drew renewed attention following the Panthers’ performance in Philadelphia. At least one analyst on Yahoo’s fantasy football recap broadcast argued the quarterback deserves MVP consideration based on his recent stretch of play, according to hosts Josh, Hayden and Matt Harmon.
The Bears entered their matchup against Atlanta carrying significant momentum. Chicago opened the season with a 59-37 rout of the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium on Sept. 13, a game where quarterback Caleb Williams set an immediate tone for the offense. That Week 1 explosion remains one of the highest-scoring openers in recent NFL history.
Sunday’s broader schedule featured 11 games across the early and afternoon windows. The Los Angeles Chargers faced the Kansas City Chiefs, a matchup that concluded after the Titans had already clinched their win against Indianapolis. Other results came from contests involving the New Orleans Saints against the New York Giants, the Arizona Cardinals versus the Los Angeles Rams, the Buffalo Bills taking on the Las Vegas Raiders, the Baltimore Ravens meeting the Cleveland Browns, the Pittsburgh Steelers playing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the New York Jets visiting the New England Patriots, and the Houston Texans facing the Jacksonville Jaguars.
