Division record: 2-2
Conference record: 3-2
Point Differential: -12

Week 6 result: Loss (37-20 at Jaguars)
Week 6 recap: Continuing a nine-game losing streak in Duval County, the Anthony Richardson-less Colts couldn’t get out of their own way. Gardner Minshew turned the ball over four times, including three interceptions while the running backs managed a meager 40 rushing yards on 15 carries. Up next is a tough home matchup against one of the league’s best defenses.

Division record: 1-1
Conference record: 2-2
Point Differential: +22

Week 6 result: Win (20-13 vs Saints)
Week 6 recap: Coming back home, the Texans have now won three of their last four games. It was an up-and-down day for C.J. Stroud against a tough defense, but he did manage to throw for two touchdowns while Nico Collins led the way with 80 receiving yards. The defense contained the Saints offense to just one touchdown while limiting Alvin Kamara to 3.6 yards per attempt. Houston now enters the bye week before hitting the road against Carolina.

Week 7: BYE

Tennessee Titans (2-4)

Division record: 0-1
Conference record: 2-3
Point Differential: -13

Week 6 result: Loss (24-16 vs Ravens) — London
Week 6 recap: Derrick Henry is the only player producing on this brutal offense. He managed 113 total yards and a score on 14 touches. Even before Ryan Tannehill’s injury, the veteran quarterback completed 50% of his passes for just 76 yards on 16 attempts, averaging just 4.8 yards per attempt. The Titans get a much-needed by week to figure things out before this season truly gets out of hand.

Week 7: BYE
