Biggest Stories and Best Highlights from NFL Week 6

There are still two games on the slate in Week 6 of the NFL season, but it's safe to say it's been a wild one. 

The two biggest stories to emerge from Sunday afternoon were injuries to starting quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers and Jameis Winston of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

We also witnessed the highest-scoring game of the year so far as the New Orleans Saints dropped a 50-burger on the Detroit Lions for a final score of 52-38. Over in the AFC, the NFL's last remaining undefeated team, the Kansas City Chiefs, was finally toppled by the Pittsburgh Steelers, 19-13.

Still to come in Week 6 is the Sunday Night Football matchup between the Denver Broncos and New York Giants and a showdown between the Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans on Monday.

You can find all the most notable stories and highlights from Week 6 below.

Aaron Rodgers Suffers Broken Collarbone, May Miss Rest of Year

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered a broken collarbone in the first quarter of his matchup with the Minnesota Vikings after taking a hit from linebacker Anthony Barr and falling hard on his right shoulder.

The team announced that Rodgers' injury could force him to miss the remainder of the season:

Backup Brett Hundley entered the game at quarterback for Green Bay.

Rodgers suffered a fractured collarbone in 2013 and missed seven games. Losing the two-time first-team All-Pro for any amount of time is a significant blow to the Green Bay offense.

Jameis Winston Exits with Shoulder Injury

Rodgers wasn't the only starting quarterback to suffer an injury Sunday.

In the first quarter of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' matchup with the Arizona Cardinals, Jameis Winston went down with an injury to his right throwing shoulder when he was hit by Cardinals linebacker Chandler Jones and was ruled doubtful to return, the Buccaneers announced.

Without Winston, the Bucs fell into a 24-0 hole in the first half. Though they made a valiant comeback effort, they fell 38-33 to the Cardinals. 

After the game, Buccaneers coach Dirk Koetter said X-rays on Winston's shoulder were negative, and he will have an MRI upon his return to Tampa, per ESPN.com's Jenna Laine.

Notable Performances

Adrian Peterson proved that he still has a lot to offer his new team, the Arizona Cardinals, gaining 134 yards on the ground and scoring twice as the Cards beat the Buccaneers.

Wideout Larry Fitzgerald also put up big numbers for Arizona, catching 10 passes for 138 yards and a score. Fitzgerald's efforts moved him to No. 7 on the all-time receiving list:

Though the Jacksonville Jaguars lost 27-17 to the Los Angeles Rams, Leonard Fournette scored his sixth touchdown for the Jaguars in as many weeks and rushed for 130 yards.

Of the 17 points the Chargers scored against the Raiders, they can thank running back Melvin Gordon for 12 of them. Gordon found the end zone once through the air and once on the ground, totaling 150 yards from scrimmage.

There were more members of the two-touchdown club Sunday. The Saints' Mark Ingram also rolled up 150 yards from scrimmage and added two touchdowns. Jerrick McKinnon of the Minnesota Vikings amassed 99 total yards with a pair of scores.

The tight ends in the New England Patriots vs. New York Jets matchup had productive days.

Rob Gronkowski of the Pats caught six passes for 83 yards and two scores, while Austin Seferian-Jenkins snagged eight passes for 46 yards and a score. Seferian-Jenkins had a second touchdown controversially called back after it was ruled that he fumbled through the end zone.

The Houston Texans defense had a big day, sacking Cleveland Browns quarterback Kevin Hogan four times (including once for a safety) and intercepting him on three occasions. One of those picks was returned for a touchdown by cornerback Johnathan Joseph.

Finally, the New Orleans Saints scored three defensive touchdowns, two via interceptions and one by a fumble.

Week 6 Blowouts and Upsets

The Pittsburgh Steelers came into Week 6 3.5-point underdogs to the Kansas City Chiefs, per OddsShark, but Ben Roethlisberger and co. ended the Chiefs' undefeated streak and handed them their first loss of the season in a close 19-13 result.

In their first game since losing J.J. Watt for the season, the Houston Texans destroyed the Cleveland Browns to the tune of 33-17.

Once the Packers lost Aaron Rodgers, it was open season for the Minnesota Vikings, who took advantage of multiple injuries on Green Bay's offense to triumph 23-10.

As for the day's upset specials, the Chicago Bears beat the Baltimore Ravens 27-24 in overtime. Six of those Chicago points came on Adrian Amos' 90-yard interception return, only Chicago's second interception of the year after the team nabbed its first earlier in the game.

The Miami Dolphins came into their tilt with the Atlanta Falcons as 14-point underdogs per OddsShark and managed to eke out a 20-17 victory, scoring 20 unanswered points.

Plays of the Day

Antonio Brown found the end zone for the Steelers in the most astonishing way, catching the ball as it ricocheted off Chiefs cornerback Phillip Gaines' facemask and taking it 51 yards for the touchdown:

Just before halftime against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Los Angeles Rams blocked a punt, which running back Malcolm Brown recovered and returned for the score:

The Rams' special teams unit was on fire Sunday after opening up the afternoon's scoring with a Pharoh Cooper 103-yard kickoff return.

Baltimore Ravens kick returner Bobby Rainey delivered the play of the day thanks to an unconventional 96-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against the Chicago Bears:

On the play, Rainey was taken out by his own teammate, rookie linebacker Tyus Bowser. However, this ended up being a blessing in disguise, as everyone let up thinking that Rainey was down by contact. But no Bear touched Rainey down, so he was able to get up and scamper for the score.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate made some incredible moves after the catch to evade three New Orleans Saints defenders and score a 45-yard touchdown in the first quarter: 

After an extra point, the Lions tied the game at seven.

Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette rumbled for a 75-yard touchdown on his first touch against the Rams:

Still to Come: Star Defense versus Decimated Offense

The Sunday Night Football matchup might be an ugly affair as the New York Giants travel to face the Denver Broncos, who have the NFL's best run defense, per Football Outsiders.

New York looks like it will also have trouble passing considering four key wide receivers (Odell Beckham Jr., Brandon Marshall, Dwayne Harris and Sterling Shepard) suffered injuries last time out and will not play.
