Yahoo Sports Staff Updated Sun, October 18, 2026 at 9:45 PM UTC About Our Ads Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement We're halfway through the NFL's Week 6 Sunday slate, which offered plenty of excitement in the early window.
Recent New York Giants acquisition quarterback J.J. McCarthy saw his first game action with the team, relieving Jameis Winston before falling 34-27 to Tyler Shough and the New Orleans Saints. The home underdog Tampa Bay Buccaneers were able to force the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers into overtime, but Aaron Rodgers found rookie Germie Bernard for his first career touchdown. With the extra point and the Buccaneers' offense stalling out, the Steelers improved to 4-2.
Also notable in the win column were the Tennessee Titans, who nabbed their first victory of the season after starting the year 0-5 under quarterback Cam Ward. That win now leaves the Miami Dolphins (bye) and Los Angeles Chargers (playing in the afternoon window) as the last remaining winless teams in the league.
Follow along with Yahoo Sports for live updates, highlights and more from Week 6's Sunday game slate.
After the Chiefs' touchdown, Los Angeles went three-and-out.
The Chargers had 103 yards of offense in the first half and seven first downs, but that equaled just three points.
Bills safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson was ejected from Sunday's game against the Raiders before halftime.
It looked like CJGJ was in a verbal dispute with a member of the Raiders offense. While it is tough to see from the replay the broadcast showed, the assumption is that CJGJ spit at a Las Vegas player's feet, which results in an ejection.
It looked like Kenneth Walker III was stuffed at the goal line.
Then, he bounced the ball to the outside, and Patrick Mahomes laid a block that allowed the running back to get around the edge to leap into the end zone for the score.
The end zone interception seems to have lit a fire under Patrick Mahomes, which could be bad news for the Chargers' defense.
