Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 24 of his 38 attempts for 354 yards and two touchdowns but also threw three interceptions in his team's 30-20 loss to the Cardinals in Week 6.

Cousins connected with DeSean Jackson for a 64-yard touchdown in the second quarter, with 50 yards coming after the catch as Jackson ran away from his defender. He entered halftime down by one point and still had his team within four points going into the fourth quarter when he fell apart, throwing all three of his interceptions in the final period, with the third being returned for a game-sealing touchdown. Cousins has failed to run away with the job in the wake of the injury to starter Robert Griffin III, as the Redskins have dropped four straight games. He'll attempt to turn things around against the Titans in Week 7.

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson saw his brilliant start to the season come to a crashing halt Sunday against the Cowboys. In a surprisingly poor performance at home, Wilson completed 14 of 28 throws for 126 yards and no touchdowns with one interception. He rushed twice for 12 yards, including a 9-yard touchdown.

This was Wilson's worst performance since a Week 16 home loss to Arizona last year. Aside from his 53-yard completion to Jermaine Kearse, Wilson passed for 73 yards on 27 other throws. Wilson averaged 4.5 yards per attempt and posted a 47.6 passer rating.

Wilson scored a rushing touchdown for the second straight week. He'll visit the Rams in Week 7. 

Raiders quarterback Derek Carr entered Sunday with only four touchdowns passes on the season. He doubled that amount with a career-best four-touchdown performance in a Week 6 home win over the Chargers. He became the first Oakland rookie to throw for four scores.

Carr got off to a fast start, connecting with Andre Holmes for a 77-yard touchdown on his first pass attempt of the day. He found James Jones in the end zone from 6 yards out in the second quarter. He hooked up with Brice Butler for a 44-yard touchdown strike in the third quarter and Holmes again for a 6-yard score in the fourth quarter. An interception to Jason Verrett with 1:13 remaining in the game proved to be costly for Carr in a 31-28 defeat.

Carr compiled 283 yards through the air while completing 18 of 34 passes. He added four touchdowns and one interception, registering a 107.8 passer rating. Carr will look to bounce back Week 7 at home against Arizona.

The Eagles declared linebacker Mychal Kendricks (calf), receiver Brad Smith (groin), running back Chris Polk (hamstring), center Jason Kelce (hernia), quarterback Matt Barkley, offensive lineman Dennis Kelly and defensive end Taylor Hart inactive for Sunday night's game against the Giants.

Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton tossed for more than 300 yards Sunday against the Panthers, but Cincinnati had to settle for a 37-all tie. Dalton completed 34 of 44 passes for 323 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions, while rushing for 25 yards on four carries.

Dalton tied the game at 7 in the second quarter with a 5-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Tate. His second touchdown pass was a 34-yard completion to Mohamed Sanu in the fourth quarter, which tied the game at 24.

Sunday was the second time this season Dalton surpassed 300 passing yards, and he did it without top receiver A.J. Green, who was sidelined due to a toe injury. Dalton also threw for multiple touchdowns for a second straight game. Though, Dalton had just one interception through his first four games before throwing two picks Sunday.

The Bengals are back in action Week 7 at Indianapolis.

The Ravens backup runners did little Week 6.

Lorenzo Taliaferro received just two carries, but did gain 29 yards. Quarterback Tyrod Taylor had four carries for -3 yards. He did not receive a passing attempt. Both players will take on the Falcons Week 7.

Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill bounced back from a rough start Sunday, but it wasn't enough in his team's 27-24 defeat to the Packers at home in Week 6.

Tannehill was picked off by Casey Hayward and Sam Shields and was limited to 84 passing yards in the first half. He bounced back with touchdown passes to Jarvis Landry -- from 11 yards out -- in the third quarter and to Mike Wallace -- from 5 yards out -- in the fourth quarter.

Tannehill compiled 227 yards through the air while completing 19 of 30 passes. He added two touchdowns and two interceptions, registering a 80.8 passer rating. He was sacked only once and finished with 49 rushing yards on three attempts.

The Dolphins will travel to Chicago to face the Bears in Week 7.

Jets quarterback Geno Smith threw two touchdown passes Sunday, but the time elapsed between them prevented him from keeping up with Denver counterpart Peyton Manning in another defeat.

Smith tossed a 2-yard touchdown pass to breakout tight end Jace Amaro with four minutes left in the first quarter to give his team its only lead of the game and added another 2-yard scoring strike midway through the fourth.

He started strong by hitting eight of his first nine passes, but finished the half just 11 of 18 for 88 yards. He finished 23 of 43 for 190 yards, two scores and a pick-six with 15 seconds remaining in the game that clinched defeat.

Smith and his team won't have much time to recover. They play at New England on Thursday night.

Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater turned the ball over three times Week 6.

Bridgewater had a lot of trouble in the passing game. He completed 23 of 37 passes for 188 yards. Bridgewater could not manage a passing touchdown against Detroit, but did throw three interceptions. He also had three rushes for 11 yards.

Bridgewater didn't get much help from his offense. Cordarrelle Patterson seemed to be more injured than initially indicated, and didn't see a ton of playing time. On top of that, the Lions were all over the backfield, sacking Bridgewater eight times. The pressure had it so that Bridgewater averaged just 5.1 yards per attempt.

Bridgewater will take on the Bills Week 7.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was dialed in on Sunday, showing some fourth-quarter heroics in a come-from-behind victory over the Dolphins in Week 6.

Rodgers went 5-for-5 passing and hooked up with Jordy Nelson for a 9-yard touchdown strike in the opening drive of the game. In the third quarter, he found Randall Cobb for a 5-yard score. Down four points, Rodgers led his team to an 11-play, 60-yard drive which resulted in a 4-yard touchdown to Andrew Quarless with three seconds remaining in the game to give Green Bay the victory.

Rodgers compiled 264 yards through the air while completing 24 of 42 passes. He added three touchdowns and no interceptions, registering a 99.7 passer rating. He was sacked three times and rushed for 34 yards on seven attempts in a 27-24 victory. He has 1,419 passing yards to go along with 15 touchdowns and one interception on the year.

The Packers will host the Panthers in Week 7.
