The NFL is the best reality show on television, but even the best series has a clunker episode every now and then. Week 6 of the 2023 season has the makings of that with a significant lack of marquee matchups.
Of the 15 games on the this week’s schedule, only two feature two teams with records above .500 – the Indianapolis Colts (3-2) at the Jacksonville Jaguars (3-2) and the Detroit Lions (4-1) at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-1). By contrast, there are three games with both teams having losing records and 10 games with one team above .500 and the other at .500 or below.
There will be weeks this season that are full of potential playoff teams squaring off. This week isn’t one of them.
