Two teams — the Chiefs and Rams – entered Week 6 still undefeated in 2018. Since 1990, when the current 12-team playoff format was adopted, 45 of the previous 51 teams (88.2 percent) to start a season 5-0 made the playoffs. The Chiefs began last season with a 5-0 record and won the AFC West.
Part of the reason those teams entered the week undefeated? Offense.

Scoring continues to trend at a record pace at the onset of the 2018 season. There have been 424 total touchdowns and 3,739 total points scored, both the most in NFL history through the first five weeks of a season. Rams running back Todd Gurley leads the league with nine touchdowns, while Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes paces the NFL with 14 touchdown passes.
With that as the backdrop, below are Week 6 NFL scores, highlights and injury updates from Sunday's action around the league.
