The Starting 11 -- Fantastic finishes have been par for NFL's course as league soars into Week 7

Take a peek between shoulder pads into the offensive huddle of the NEW YORK GIANTS, courtesy of running back SAQUON BARKLEY.

Down 20-10 on Sunday with less than 13 minutes on the fourth-quarter clock, the ball at their own 25, what were the Giants thinking at that moment?

“Go score,” said Barkley, who leads the NFL with 771 scrimmage yards. “That’s the only thing we had in our mindset. Go respond. That’s the first thing that we said. There’s no panic in this team at all, not only the offense but defense and special teams. Great complementary football.”

And after New York’s 75-yard touchdown drive cut the lead to 20-17, the great complementary football came from safety JULIAN LOVE, whose interception set up Barkley’s go-ahead touchdown run with 1:43 remaining, and rookie KAYVON THIBODEAUX, whose ensuing sack and forced fumble iced the win.

The Giants (5-1) have erased 10-point deficits in three of their five wins this season – Barkley has the game-winning points in each of those three comebacks – but their comeback mentality isn’t uncommon. In 2022, there have been:

  • 19 games won or tied by a team that trailed by 10-or-more points, matching the most through Week 6 all-time.
  • 32 games in which a team came back to win or tie after trailing in the fourth quarter, tied with 1989 (32) for the most such games through Week 6 in NFL history.
  • 74 games within a one-score margin (eight points) in the fourth quarter, the most such games in league annals at this point in a season.

Rest assured, there’ll be plenty more fantastic finishes this season.

The Starting 11 entering Week 7…

1.     CHIEF COMPETITIONKANSAS CITY (4-2) has an intriguing date with SAN FRANCISCO (3-3) on Sunday (4:25 PM ET, FOX). Since they met in Super Bowl LIV to end the 2019 season, the Chiefs lead the NFL in total yards per game (402.4) while the 49ers lead the NFL in fewest yards allowed (303.5).

  • In consecutive weeks, the Chiefs have drawn the NFL's No. 1 offense and No. 1 defense. Buffalo led the league in yards per game entering the Week 6 contest in Kansas City and San Francisco leads the league this season in fewest yards allowed (255.8) entering Week 7.

2.     NUMBER OF THE WEEK – 6: The combined wins of ATLANTA and CINCINNATI since Sept. 18. After each club opened 0-2, both teams have won three of their last four. The winner of Sunday's game (1:00 PM ET, FOX) between the 3-3 clubs could be alone in first place in its division on Monday morning.

3.     THREE DEGREES OF SEPARATION: Put the coaching DNA of BILL BELICHICK under a microscope and there's likely a lot of GEORGE HALAS, whose career-wins mark the Patriots' head coach could surpass this week. That's because the person who gave Belichick his first job as an NFL assistant in 1975, TED MARCHIBRODA, spent his formulative years as a coordinator (1971-74) under GEORGE ALLEN. And Allen, no doubt, learned countless lessons from Halas as a Bears assistant and coordinator from 1959-65. With a win when NEW ENGLAND (3-3) hosts CHICAGO (2-4) on Monday Night Football (8:15 PM ET, ESPN), Belichick would surpass Halas (324) for the second-most combined regular-season and postseason wins in NFL history. Only Pro Football Hall of Famer DON SHULA (347) has won more.

4.     SPOTLIGHT – INDIVIDUAL MATCHUP: Two of the game's most exciting young players, rookie wide receiver GARRETT WILSON and second-year cornerback PAT SURTAIN II, will be on opposite sides when the NEW YORK JETS (4-2) meet DENVER (2-4) on Sunday (4:05 PM ET, CBS). Wilson leads all AFC rookies with 290 receiving yards and, since entering the league in 2021, Surtain is tied for third in the AFC with 19 passes defensed. Surtain, who is 99 days older than Wilson, was selected No. 9 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft while Wilson went No. 10 overall in 2022. And both have fathers who excelled in athletics. Surtain is the son of PATRICK SURTAIN, a former All-Pro cornerback. Wilson is the son of Kenny Wilson, a Davidson College Hall of Fame basketball player who once helped the Wildcats beat Mike Krzyzewski's Duke Blue Devils.

5.     SPOTLIGHT – TEAM MATCHUPCLEVELAND (2-4) visits BALTIMORE (3-3) on Sunday (1:00 PM ET, CBS). The Browns lead the NFL with 172.0 rushing yards per game. The Ravens lead the NFL with 5.95 yards per carry.

6.     STREAK SPEAK: Seattle rookie cornerback TARIQ WOOLEN has four interceptions, tied with Buffalo's JORDAN POYER for the NFL lead. Woolen, the latest on an impressive list of defensive backs drafted by Seattle on Day 3, began his college career as a wide receiver at Texas-San Antonio. Considered among the fastest active NFL players, Woolen clocked a 4.26-second time in the 40-yard dash at the combine in March.

  • Woolen has intercepted a pass in four consecutive games. When SEATTLE (3-3) travels to SoFi Stadium to play the LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (4-2) on Sunday (4:25 PM ET, FOX), Woolen could extend his streak of games with an interception to five, longest by an NFL rookie since JAIRUS BYRD had a five-game streak in 2009. … Woolen is also the only rookie since the 1970 merger to record both an interception and opponent fumble recovery in consecutive games.

7.     DID YOU KNOW?: When the NEW YORK GIANTS (5-1) visit the JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (2-4) on Sunday (1:00 PM ET, FOX), DANIEL JONES and TREVOR LAWRENCE will square off for the first time since Nov. 17, 2018, when Clemson defeated Duke during the Tigers' 15-0 College Football Playoff championship season. Jacksonville running back TRAVIS ETIENNE ran for two touchdowns in that game for Clemson. … After leading the 1996 Jaguars to the AFC Championship Game, former Jacksonville head coach TOM COUGHLIN then guided the Giants to two Super Bowl victories, in 2007 and 2011. Coughlin is one of two individuals ever to win multiple Super Bowls and lead franchises to both the AFC and NFC Championship Games as an NFL head coach. The other is Pro Football Hall of Famer BILL PARCELLS.

8.     UNDER-THE-RADAR STORYLINE: Last week, AUSTIN EKELER joined Pro Football Hall of Famer LENNY MOORE as one of two players ever to record 25 rushing touchdowns and 25 receiving touchdowns in their first six NFL seasons. Not only was Ekeler overlooked by every team in the 2017 NFL Draft, he also didn't get a single Division I scholarship offer. Additionally, only one Division II school wanted him as a running back, Western State (Colo.). His younger brother, Wyett Ekeler, is a sophomore safety at the University of Wyoming, a program that has produced Bills quarterback JOSH ALLEN, Eagles safety MARCUS EPPS, Jaguars linebacker CHAD MUMA and Bengals linebacker LOGAN WILSON, among others. Ekeler and the LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (4-2) host the SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (3-3) on Sunday (4:25 PM ET, FOX).

9.     TREND TIME: The TENNESSEE TITANS (3-2) come off their bye to host the INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (3-2-1) on Sunday (1:00 PM ET, CBS). The Titans' offense leads the league in red-zone efficiency (12 touchdowns in 13 possessions, 92.3 percent). In each of the past three seasons, the NFL's most efficient red-zone offense during the regular season (Tennessee in 2019, Green Bay in 2020 and San Francisco in 2021) has advanced to the conference championship game.

10.  THIS WEEK IN NFL HISTORY: Oct. 22, 2017 (five years ago) – DAK PRESCOTT throws three touchdown passes, including a 72-yard strike to EZEKIEL ELLIOTT, to lead the Cowboys to a 40-10 win at San Francisco. Elliott rushes for 147 yards and two more touchdowns. …This week, Prescott could return from injury to start for DALLAS (4-2) at home against DETROIT (1-4) on Sunday (1:00 PM ET, CBS).

11.  AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST: Could a trick play impact the Sunday Night Football game between PITTSBURGH (2-4) and MIAMI (3-3) at Hard Rock Stadium (8:20 PM ET, NBC)? A fake punt made a big difference when the teams met 50 years ago in the 1972 AFC Championship Game. His club needing a spark, Dolphins punter LARRY SEIPLE ran for 37 yards to set up a game-tying touchdown by LARRY CSONKA – one of 17 Pro Football Hall of Famers from that single contest – awakening Miami en route to a 21-17 win over the Steelers. Making the Dolphins' road to a perfect season even more difficult, Miami had to travel to Three Rivers Stadium because, at the time, the NFL determined conference championship hosts with a rotational system. Pittsburgh had advanced to the game after its Immaculate Reception the week before. The Dolphins will celebrate the 50th anniversary of that perfect season on Sunday.

Los 11 titulares – Fantásticos finales abundan en el periplo de la NFL, cuando la liga llega a la séptima semana

Echa un vistazo por sobre los hombros de la reunión ofensiva de NEW YORK GIANTS, cortesía del corredor SAQUON BARKLEY.

Abajo en el marcador 20-10 el domingo con menos de 13 minutos en el reloj del último cuarto, el balón en su propia yarda 25, ¿qué estaba pensando Giants en ese momento?

"Anotemos," dijo Barkley, quien lidera la NFL con 771 yardas desde la línea de golpeo. "Eso es lo único que teníamos en nuestra mentalidad. Respondamos. Eso es lo primero que dijimos. No hay pánico en este equipo en absoluto, no solo en la ofensiva sino también en la defensiva y los equipos especiales. Gran fútbol americano complementario."

Y después de que la serie de anotación de 75 yardas de Nueva York redujera la ventaja a 20-17, el gran fútbol americano complementario provino del profundo JULIAN LOVE, cuya intercepción preparó el acarreo anotador de Barkley con 1:43 restantes que les dio la ventaja, y el novato KAYVON THIBODEUX, cuyos subsiguientes captura y balón suelto forzado sellaron la victoria.

Giants (5-1) ha borrado déficits de 10 puntos en tres de sus cinco victorias esta temporada (Barkley tiene los puntos de la victoria en cada una de esas tres remontadas), pero su mentalidad resurgente no es infrecuente. En 2022, hubo:

  • 19 partidos ganados o empatados por un equipo que perdía por 10 o más puntos, empatando la mayor cantidad a lo largo de la sexta semana en la historia.
  • 32 partidos en los que equipo resurgió para ganar o empatar tras haber estado en desventaja en el último período, empatando con 1989 (32) para la mayor cantidad de tales desempeños a lo largo de la sexta semana en la historia de la NFL.
  • 74 partidos con margen de una anotación (ocho puntos) en el último período, la mayor cantidad de tales casos en los anales de la liga en este punto en una temporada.

Descanso asegurado, habrá muchos más finales fantásticos esta temporada.

Los 11 titulares entrando en la séptima semana…

1.     COMPETENCIA Y MÁS CMPETENCIAKANSAS CITY (4-2) tiene una cita intrigante con SAN FRANCISCO (3-3) el domingo (4:25 PM, hora de New York, FOX). Desde que se enfrentaron en el Super Bowl LIV para finalizar la temporada 2019, Chiefs lidera la NFL en yardas totales por partido (402.4) mientras que 49ers lidera la NFL en la menor cantidad de yardas permitidas (303.5).

o    En semanas consecutivas, Chiefs se habrá enfrentado a la ofensiva Nº 1 y la defensiva Nº 1 de la NFL. Buffalo lideraba la liga en yardas por partido entrando en el duelo de la sexta semana en Kansas City y San Francisco lidera la liga esta temporada en la menor cantidad de yardas permitidas (255.8) entrando en la séptima.

2.     NÚMERO DE LA SEMANA – 6. Las victorias combinadas de ATLANTA y CINCINNATI desde el 18 de septiembre. Después de que cada club abrió 0-2, ambos equipos ganaron tres de sus últimos cuatro. El ganador del partido del domingo (1:00 PM, hora de New York, FOX) entre ambos equipos 3-3 podría quedar solo en el primer puesto en su división el lunes por la mañana.

3.     TRES GRADOS DE SEPARACIÓN. Ponga el ADN del entrenador BILL BELICHICK bajo un microscopio y es probable que haya mucho de GEORGE HALAS, cuya marca de victorias en su carrera podría superar el entrenador en jefe de Patriots esta semana. Eso es porque la persona que le dio a Belichick su primer trabajo como asistente de la NFL en 1975, TED MARCHIBRODA, pasó sus años formativos como coordinator (1971-74) con GEORGE ALLEN. Y Allen, sin duda, aprendió incontables lecciones de Halas como asistente y coordinador de Bears entre 1959-65. Con una victoria cuando NEW ENGLAND (3-3) reciba a CHICAGO (2-4) en el clásico de lunes en la noche Monday Night Football (8:15 PM, hora de New York, ESPN), Belichick superaría a Halas (324) para la segunda mayor cantidad de victorias combinadas en temporada regular y postemporada en la historia de la NFL. Solo el miembro del Salón de la Fama DON SHULA (347) ganó más.

4.     EN LA MARQUESINA – ENFRENTAMIENTO INDIVIDUAL. Dos de los jugadores jóvenes más emocionantes del partido, el receptor novato GARRETT WILSON y el esquinero de segundo año PAT SURTAIN II, estarán en lados opuestos cuando NEW YORK JETS (4-2) se enfrente a DENVER BRONCOS (2-4) el domingo (4:05 PM, hora de New York, CBS). Wilson lidera a todos los novatos de la AFC con 290 yardas recibiendo y, desde que ingresó en la liga en 2021, Surtain está empatado en el tercer lugar en la AFC con 19 pases defendidos. Surtain, que es 99 días mayor que Wilson, fue seleccionado Nº 9 global en el Sorteo Universitario de la NFL de 2021 mientras que Wilson fue el Nº 10 global del Draft en 2022. Y ambos tienen padres que se destacaron en el atletismo. Surtain es hijo de PATRICK SURTAIN, ex esquinero All-Pro. Wilson es hijo de Kenny Wilson, un jugador de baloncesto exaltado en el Salón de la fama del Davidson College Hall que una vez ayudó a Wildcats a derrotar a los Duke Blue Devils de Mike Krzyzewski.

5.     EN LA MARQUESINA – ENFRENTAMIENTO DE EQUIPOSCLEVELAND (2-4) visita a BALTIMORE (3-3) el domingo (1:00 PM, hora de New York, CBS). Browns lidera la NFL con 172.0 yardas por tierra por partido. Ravens lidera la NFL con 5.95 yardas por acarreo.

6.     RACHAS QUE HABLAN. El esquinero novato de Seattle TARIQ WOOLEN tiene cuatro intercepciones, empatando con JORDAN POYER, de Buffalo, para liderar la NFL. Woolen, el último de una impresionante lista de secundarios seleccionados por Seattle en el tercer día del Draft, comenzó su carrera universitaria como receptor en Texas-San Antonio. Considerado entre los jugadores activos más rápidos de la NFL, Woolen marcó un tiempo de 4.26 segundos en las 40 yardas en el Combinado de Indianapolis, en marzo.

o    Woolen tiene un pase interceptado en cuatro partidos consecutivos. Cuando SEATTLE (3-3) viaje al SoFi Stadium para enfrentar a LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (4-2) el domingo (4:25 PM, hora de New York, FOX), Woolen podría extender su racha de partidos con alguna intercepción a cinco, la más larga por un novato de la NFL desde que JAIRUS BYRD tuvo una racha de cinco partidos en 2009. … Woolen es también el único novato desde la fusión de 1970 en registrar tanto una intercepción como un recobro de balón suelto en partidos consecutivos.

7.     ¿LO SABÍAS? Cuando NEW YORK GIANTS (5-1) visite a JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (2-4) el domingo (1:00 PM, hora de New York, FOX), DANIEL JONES y TREVOR LAWRENCE se enfrentarán por primera ocasión desde el 17 de noviembre de 2018, cuando Clemson derrotó a Duke durante la postemporada de la temporada de 15-0 de los Tigers en el fútbol americano universitario. El corredor de Jacksonville TRAVIS ETIENNE acarreó dos anotaciones en ese partido para Clemson. … Después de llevar a Jaguars al Juego de Campeonato de la AFC en 1996, el ex entrenador en jefe de Jacksonville TOM COUGHLIN guió a Giants a dos victorias en el Super Bowl, en 2007 y 2011. Coughlin es una de las dos personas en la historia en ganar múltiples Super Bowls y liderar franquicias tanto en Juegos de Campeonato de la NFC como en la AFC como entrenador en jefe de la NFL. El otro es el miembro del Salón de la Fama BILL PARCELLS.

8.     HISTORIA BAJO EL RADAR. La semana pasada, AUSTIN EKELER se unió al miembro del Salón de la Fama LENNY MOORE como uno de dos jugadores en la historia en registrar 25 acarreos anotadores y 25 recepciones anotadoras en sus primeras seis temporadas en la NFL. Ekeler no solo fue pasado por alto por todos los equipos en el Sorteo Universitario de la NFL de 2017, sino que tampoco recibió oferta de beca alguna de la División l. Adicionalmente, sólo una escuela de la División II lo quería como corredor, Western State (Colo.). Su hermano menor, Wyett Ekeler, es profundo de segundo año en la Universidad de Wyoming, un programa que ha producido al mariscal de campo de Bills JOSH ALLEN, al profundo de Eagles MARCUS EPPS, al apoyador de Jaguars CHAD MUMA y al apoyador de Bengals LOGAN WILSON, entre otros. Ekeler y LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (4-2) reciben a SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (3-3) el domingo (4:25 PM, hora de New York, FOX).

9.     TENDENCIATENNESSEE TITANS (3-2) sale de su descanso para recibir a INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (3-2-1) el domingo (1:00 PM, hora de New York, CBS). La ofensiva de Titans lidera la liga en eficiencia en la zona roja (12 anotaciones en 13 posesiones, 92.3 por ciento). En cada una de las últimas tres temporadas, la ofensiva más eficiente en la zona roja de la NFL durante la temporada regular (Tennessee en 2019, Green Bay en 2020 y San Francisco en 2021) avanzaron al partido de campeonato de conferencia.

10.  ESTA SEMANA EN LA HISTORIA DE LA NFL. El 22 de octubre de 2017 (cinco años atrás) – DAK PRESCOTT lanza tres pases anotadores, incluyendo uno de 72 yardas a EZEKIEL ELLIOTT, para llevar a Cowboys a un triunfo 40-10 en San Francisco. Elliott acarrea 147 yardas y dos anotaciones más. …Esta semana, Prescott podría regresar de una lesión para ser titular en DALLAS (4-2) en casa contra DETROIT (1-4) el domingo (1:00 PM, hora de New York, CBS).

11.  Y POR ÚLTIMO, PERO NO MENOS IMPORTANTE. ¿Puede una jugada sorpresa impactar en el clásico de deomnigo en la noche Sunday Night Football entre PITTSBURGH (2-4) y MIAMI (3-3) en Hard Rock Stadium (8:20 PM, hora de New York, NBC)? Un engaño de despeje hizo una gran diferencia cuando los equipos se enfrentaron 50 años atrás en el Juego de Campeonato de la AFC de 1972. Su club necesitaba una chispa, el despejador de Dolphins, LARRY SEIPLE, acarreó 37 yardas para establecer la anotación de LARRY CSONKA –uno de 17 los miembros del Salón de la Fama de este particular duelo– que igualó el partido, despertando a Miami en su camino al triunfo 21-17 sobre Steelers. Para dificultar aún más el camino de Dolphins hacia una temporada perfecta, Miami tuvo que viajar a Three Rivers Stadium porque, en ese tiempo, la NFL determinaba a los anfitriones del campeonato de la conferencia con un sistema rotativo. Pittsburgh había avanzado a ese partido tras su mítica Recepción Inmaculada una semana antes. Dolphins celebrará el domingo el aniversario 50 de esa temporada perfecta.
