Welcome to the Week 6 grades!

The NFL has gone off the rails this week and that’s mostly thanks to the Cleveland Browns, who pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the season with a 19-17 win over the 49ers, who were favored by 9.5 points. The fact that the Browns won was extra shocking and that’s because they NEVER beat undefeated teams. 

Since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970, the Browns had gone 0-12 against undefeated teams that were 5-0 or better, but that streak is now over following their win over San Francisco. For the 49ers, the loss ended a 15-game regular-season winning streak, which had been tied for the longest in franchise history. 

Not to be outdone, the Jets also pulled off a massive upset in the late window when they shocked Philadelphia. The win over the previously undefeated Eagles marks the first time in franchise history that the Jets have beaten Philly. Like, ever. Going into this year, the Jets were 0-12 all time against the Eagles. 

The Browns were one of just four teams that got an ‘A’ or ‘A-‘ during the afternoon games on Sunday. So who else joined them? Let’s get to the grades and find out.
