Week 6...
SUNDAY'S HEROES
Week 6 was filled with more wild finishes and lots of offense. In Houston we saw a lot of the wildcat formation, but the Dolphins secondary saw even more the Texans big receiver Andre Johnson. In Atlanta the Bears watched victory slip away in the final seconds, while the Cowboys was there chances at a win get stuffed by the Cardinal's special teams.
Just as we see every week in the NFL, there was more ups and downs, big plays and big hits, and game changing scores and the heroes we watched get it done on the gridiron!
