Week 6 of the NFL season is finally here with a lot of intriguing matchups to watch, and a lot of questions to be answered. Starting with the Giants/Patriots on Thursday night and wrapping up with Lions/Packers on Monday night. Let’s breakdown three questions that will be answered this week.
Can Kirk Cousins finally win a big game?
The knock on Kirk Cousins has always been his inability to win the big games, and he gets another big test this weekend against the Philadelphia Eagles.The Vikings are currently 3-2 but the three victories weren’t that impressive over the Falcons, Raiders, and Giants. The two losses were against good teams in the Bears and Packers.
The Eagles have a really good rush defense so there is a good chance it won’t be Dalvin Cook who is carrying them in this game, That means Cousins is probably going to have to have a big game if they want to come out with a win in this game. So what Cousins is going to show up? The one who threw for 305 yards and two touchdowns against the Giants or the one against the Bears who only threw for 205 yards and most of that came in garbage time.
We should find out a lot of Cousins and the Vikings on Sunday.
Are the 49ers the real deal?
The 49ers have won their first four games of the season but who have they really played? They have wins over the Buccaneers, Bengals, Steelers, and Browns and neither of those teams have more than two wins.
Now they go on the road against a good to great Rams team and they are going to be reall tested. They have lost two games in a row, but they are still by far the biggest test they have had this season.
Are the 49ers are a contender for the NFC West? Or are they going to be a pretender once they start to play better teams.
Who is the worst team in the NFL?
The biggest game of the weekend takes place Sunday between the….Washington Redskins and Miami Dolphins? Both of these teams have looked terrible this season, and if they didn’t play each other there is a very good chance both of these teams could finish the season with zero wins.
The loser of this game could very well finish with zero wins, so this is like both teams Super Bowl.
