5 NFL teams that must win in Week 6

After suffering some tough losses last Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs are among the squads that need victories in Week 6.

There are weeks throughout the season that go down in the record books as memorable as soon as they happen. That was certainly the case with Week 5, with mesmerizing offensive performances and huge victories for teams like the Indianapolis Colts, Houston Texans and Green Bay Packers.

The flip side of that recipe is some big losses, setting up must-win situations for a litany of teams. We’ll take a look at five squads that need to emerge from Week 6 tasting victory, beginning with the Tennessee Titans.

5. Tennessee Titans

There may not be a bigger enigma in the NFL than the Tennessee Titans, who look like world-beaters one week and suffer mind-blowing losses in the next. That was certainly the case for Tennessee last week, who followed up a shocking win in Atlanta with a brutal 14-7 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Kicker Cairo Santos cost the Titans this football game by missing four field goals, and he was promptly cut as a result. Tennessee now needs to rebound with a trip to Denver, which is coming off its first win of the year but still didn’t look that good against a so-so Chargers team.

The Titans need to find a way to win this game to keep pace with Indianapolis and Houston in the division, especially with tougher games against Kansas City, New Orleans and Los Angeles still looming.
