October 16, 2022 was highlighted by the Bills asserting their AFC dominance by defeating KC on a GW-TD to Dawson Knox after Josh Allen’s hurdle on the game-winning drive. The Yankees forced a Game 5 behind Gerrit Cole, despite Josh Naylor’s “rock the baby” celebration. Cooper Rush’s run as the Cowboys QB1 likely ended with a big loss to the undefeated Eagles while the Colts and Bengals both celebrated game-winning TDs in Week 6. Myles Garrett claimed Cleveland’s all-time career Sacks record plus the Jets upset Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay.

The Grizzlies locked down part of their young core by signing Brandon Clarke to a 4y/52M extension. Marcus Mariota had a historic game in the Falcons destruction of the Nick Bosa-less 49ers while the Rams won, but at a huge cost, as LT Joseph Noteboom suffered a torn Achilles in the Rams’ victory over CAR with Robbie Anderson getting kicked out mid-game by his own team. The Dolphins missed Tua as they lost to MIN, while Pittsburgh shocked Tampa Bay despite a depleted defense, and Baltimore lost to NYG on a strip-sack by Kayvon Thibadeaux.
