Up One Podcast — Week 6 NFL Recap
Panthers Stun the Cowboys | Eagles Slipping | Baker’s MVP Case
Episode Description:
Week 6 in the NFL was pure chaos — and the Up One crew is breaking it all down. Carolina shocks Dallas in a 30–27 home win, led by Bryce Young’s perfect 4th quarter and Rico Dowdle’s record-breaking performance. But the question is — are the Panthers legit, or are the Cowboys simply falling apart?
Meanwhile, the Eagles have dropped two straight — blowing a 14-point lead to Denver and losing big to the Giants. With Saquon still searching for his first 100-yard game, Philly’s offense ranks 19th overall and 29th in passing. What will the Eagles need to do to get back on track against the Vikings?
In Cleveland, Dillon Gabriel struggled again, completing just 4 passes over 10 yards in a sluggish loss. How long before the Browns turn to Shedeur Sanders?
Baker Mayfield and the Bucs, on the other hand, keep rolling. Sitting at 5-1 with 12 TDs and just 1 INT — all without Mike Evans or Chris Godwin — is Baker officially in the MVP driver’s seat?
We wrap with a look at Miami: should the Dolphins hit the reset button on Tua Tagovailoa and Mike McDaniel after another disappointing stretch?
