NFL Week 6 Quick Outs: Tanner McKee limits Eagles, Rams sputter and Cowboys struggle vs. blitz

The New York Times analyzes key NFC trends following Week 6, focusing on quarterback Tanner McKee's cautious performance in his first start for the Philadelphia Eagles. McKee completed 27 of 45 passes with one touchdown, but recorded a 3-for-15 accuracy mark on tight-window throws. The writer argues McKee's hesitant approach and lack of mobility significantly restrict Philadelphia's passing game compared to what the offense achieves with Jalen Hurts.

Elsewhere, Chicago Bears nickel corner Kyler Gordon recorded three sacks against the Atlanta Falcons following a calf injury. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Rams struggle with repeated second- and third-and-long situations amid offensive injuries, converting just one of 14 third downs of 11 or more yards this season. Additionally, the writer highlights the Dallas Cowboys' vulnerability against opposing blitz schemes due to predictable pass-protection personnel.
