NFL Wreckage: Week 6
Final scoresEvery week, something falls apart. This is the card built out of it. The team that forgot scoring was allowed. The receiver nobody threw to. The kicker who might not have a job by kickoff. Does it happen again? Some of it repeats. Most of it doesn't. Good luck telling which. A dozen-ish questions. Answers pay 1–10 points. Long shots pay more. New card every Tuesday. Picks lock at first kickoff. Defense and special-teams scores count. One of us sees the future. The rest of us need more reps.
