If you’re an NFL fan, Week 6 was everything you could’ve asked for — wild comebacks, impossible catches, game-winning drives, and enough highlight-reel moments to fill a season’s worth of top plays.
Each week of the NFL season writes its own story, but Week 6 felt special. From Tyreek Hill’s lightning speed to Lamar Jackson’s magic, from clutch throws to defensive dominance — this week was pure entertainment from start to finish.
So, let’s take a closer look at the best plays and top touchdowns from Week 6, and relive the moments that had fans jumping off their couches.
1. Lamar Jackson’s Escapes Defy Physics (Again)
There are players who run fast, and then there’s Lamar Jackson, who seems to bend time and space when he’s on the field.
In Baltimore’s matchup with the Bengals, Jackson delivered one of his signature highlight moments. Facing third-and-long, he spun away from a sack, slipped through two defenders, and somehow threw a strike to Zay Flowers downfield for a massive gain.
A few plays later, he found Mark Andrews in the back of the end zone with a perfectly placed ball over double coverage.
It was vintage Lamar — slippery, confident, and absolutely electric. When he’s in that zone, it feels like he’s playing a different game than everyone else.
2. Tyreek Hill’s 60-Yard Sprint Leaves Everyone Behind
Every week, it seems like Tyreek Hill does something that makes you shake your head and laugh in disbelief.
Against the Panthers, Hill turned a simple slant pass into a 60-yard touchdown — and it happened so fast, you almost missed it. He caught the ball in stride, turned upfield, and hit his top gear in a blink. By the time defenders realized what was happening, he was already in the end zone.
Hill finished the day with another monster performance, and it’s clear no one in the league changes a game the way he does. The Dolphins’ offense is a track meet, and Hill is the sprinter everyone’s chasing.
3. Brock Purdy’s Deep Ball Continues to Shine
There were doubts about whether Brock Purdy could keep it up. Six weeks in, those doubts are gone.
Against the Browns, the 49ers’ young quarterback showed pinpoint accuracy on several throws, including a gorgeous deep ball to Brandon Aiyuk late in the first half. It was one of those passes that just drops from the sky — perfectly timed, perfectly placed.
Even though the Niners eventually stumbled, Purdy’s calm, poise, and decision-making keep proving that he’s not just managing games — he’s winning them.
4. Justin Jefferson’s One-Handed Wonder
It doesn’t matter what the Vikings’ record says — Justin Jefferson continues to play like the best wide receiver in football.
Against the Bears, he made one of the catches of the season — leaping between two defenders to snag a one-handed grab that looked impossible in real time. The concentration, the timing, the body control — it was all elite.
Jefferson makes difficult plays look routine, and even when Minnesota’s offense struggles, he’s always a bright spot.
5. Josh Allen’s Rocket Arm Fires Again
When Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes face off, fireworks are guaranteed — and their Week 6 duel didn’t disappoint.
Allen’s highlight came in the third quarter when he rolled to his right, escaped pressure, and fired a 35-yard dart to Stefon Diggs in the corner of the end zone. It was the kind of throw that reminds you why Allen is one of the most dangerous players in the game.
He finished the day with three touchdowns and over 300 yards, leading Buffalo to one of their biggest wins of the season.
6. Derrick Henry Turns Back the Clock
If you thought Derrick Henry was slowing down, think again.
Against the Colts, the Titans’ powerhouse running back bulldozed his way through defenders for 135 yards and two touchdowns — including a vintage 45-yard rumble that left would-be tacklers in the dirt.
Henry’s combination of size and speed is still unmatched. When he gets rolling downhill, he’s as unstoppable as ever. It was a reminder that the “King” still rules the AFC South when he wants to.
7. CeeDee Lamb’s Sideline Masterpiece
CeeDee Lamb doesn’t always get enough credit for his body control and precision, but his catch against the Chargers will be replayed for weeks.
With the Cowboys driving late, Dak Prescott lofted a pass near the sideline that looked destined to drift out of bounds — until Lamb twisted mid-air, secured the ball, and somehow got both toes down.
It wasn’t just a catch — it was art. The concentration, balance, and awareness made it one of the cleanest plays of the week.
8. Garrett Wilson Breaks Free
Despite the Jets’ rollercoaster season, Garrett Wilson continues to flash superstar potential.
Facing the Eagles, he turned a short slant route into a 65-yard touchdown, bursting through traffic and showing off elite acceleration. It was the kind of play that gave the Jets’ sideline life and the fans something to cheer about.
Even with quarterback uncertainty, Wilson continues to be a matchup nightmare for defenders.
9. Patrick Mahomes Pulls Off Another No-Look Miracle
It’s not an NFL highlight reel without Patrick Mahomes doing something absurd.
Under pressure against Buffalo, Mahomes pulled another trick out of his bag — a no-look sidearm pass across his body to Travis Kelce for a first down. Kelce caught it in stride like it was a simple toss in practice.
The chemistry between these two is borderline telepathic. Every time it feels like a play’s broken, they somehow find each other.
10. C.J. Stroud’s Rookie Brilliance
The Houston Texans may not be playoff contenders yet, but C.J. Stroud looks every bit like a franchise quarterback.
Against the Saints, the rookie launched a deep 50-yard bomb to Nico Collins, hitting him perfectly in stride for a touchdown. It was a veteran throw — calm, confident, and accurate.
Stroud’s composure under pressure and decision-making have been phenomenal. If he keeps this up, he’ll run away with Offensive Rookie of the Year.
11. Myles Garrett’s Game-Changing Sack
While offensive highlights usually dominate, Myles Garrett reminded everyone that defense can be just as thrilling.
In the closing moments against the 49ers, with Cleveland clinging to a narrow lead, Garrett broke through a double team and crushed Brock Purdy for a game-sealing sack.
It was a statement play — raw power, perfect timing, and elite execution. Garrett’s dominance continues to anchor one of the toughest defenses in football.
12. Lions’ Trickery: The Double Pass Delight
The Detroit Lions are quickly becoming must-watch TV, not just for their success but for their creativity.
Early against Tampa Bay, the Lions ran a beautifully designed double pass — Jared Goff tossed it backward to Amon-Ra St. Brown, who then launched a deep throw to Jameson Williams for a 45-yard touchdown.
The play worked to perfection, catching the Buccaneers’ defense completely off guard. Dan Campbell’s aggressiveness continues to define Detroit’s fearless identity.
13. Trevor Lawrence Leads a Gritty Comeback
The Jacksonville Jaguars keep proving they belong among the league’s rising teams. Down by two scores late against the Colts, Trevor Lawrence took over.
He orchestrated back-to-back scoring drives, including a clutch 25-yard touchdown pass to Calvin Ridley that put Jacksonville ahead for good.
It wasn’t flashy — it was gritty, composed, and confident. Lawrence looks every bit like the franchise QB the Jaguars hoped he’d become.
14. Jamal Agnew’s Electric Punt Return
Special teams don’t always get the spotlight, but Jamal Agnew made sure they did this week.
Late in the first quarter against Indianapolis, Agnew fielded a punt, found a crease, and exploded downfield for a 78-yard return that completely flipped the game’s momentum.
His burst and vision reminded everyone how one play on special teams can change everything.
15. Jake Moody’s Ice-Cold Game Winner
Pressure? What pressure?
With seconds left on the clock and the game tied, rookie kicker Jake Moody drilled a 55-yard field goal right down the middle to lift the 49ers over the Browns.
In a week full of big plays and flashy moments, it was a rookie kicker’s calm nerves that stole the show.
The Big Picture: What We Learned from Week 6
Week 6 wasn’t just about highlights — it told us a lot about the state of the NFL.
The AFC is loaded. The Bills, Chiefs, Dolphins, and Ravens all look like legitimate Super Bowl contenders.
The NFC has a clear top tier. The 49ers, Eagles, and Lions continue to stand out with consistent, dominant performances.
The new generation is thriving. Young quarterbacks like C.J. Stroud, Jordan Love, and Trevor Lawrence are showing poise beyond their years.
Defense still matters. The Browns, Ravens, and Jets proved that great defense can still win games in an era of explosive offenses.
Week 6 of the NFL season had everything — breathtaking touchdowns, unbelievable athleticism, clutch plays, and breakout performances.
From Tyreek Hill’s jet-fueled speed to Lamar Jackson’s wizardry, from C.J. Stroud’s poise to Derrick Henry’s power, this week reminded us exactly why Sundays feel so sacred to football fans.
Every season has turning points, and Week 6 might be one of them. Some teams established themselves as serious contenders, while others were reminded just how thin the margin for error can be.
One thing’s certain: if the rest of the season brings even half the excitement of this week, we’re in for a wild ride.
