## NFC Teams with Four+ Losses
Eight of the NFC's 16 teams have at least four losses after Week 6 of the 2026 NFL season.
## 49ers Lead NFC West
The 49ers are undefeated with a six-game record and a three-game lead in the NFC West.
## Buccaneers on Life Support
The Buccaneers are 1-5 and could fall to 3.5 games back in the NFC South if they lose their Week 7 game in Carolina.
## Commanders' Struggles
The Commanders have a one-loss record with a fourth-week loss to the Giants and a game tied by Jayden Daniels throwing the ball out of bounds on fourth down.
## Eagles' Recent Performance
The Eagles have a two-win record with a loss to the Giants and a game where they didn't gain 250 or more yards in four consecutive games.
## Saints' Strategic Rest
The Saints rested their starters with a 24-point lead over the Giants, which almost cost them the game.
## Giants' Season Shift
The Giants have a three-win record with a loss to the Eagles and a game where J.J. McCarthy entered with 11 minutes left.
## Cowboys' Close Game
The Cowboys lost 23-13 to the Packers but had a soft roughing the passer flag that wiped off Dak Prescott's stat sheet.
## Falcons' Offseason Surge
The Falcons improved their offense in the last two weeks after a slow start, but are now back to being one of the worst teams in the NFL.
## Rams' Talent Gap
The Rams remain talented but are likely to finish the season with a Wild Card berth at best.
## Panthers' Coaching Strength
The Panthers are well coached with a strong defense but have glaring holes on both sides of the lines.
## Packers' Recent Success
The Packers have beaten the Bears and Cowboys in recent games, improving their record to four wins and two losses.
## Lions' Bye Week
The Lions had a bye week and are currently in the NFC North with a three-win record.
## Bears' Competitive Games
The Bears have played five close games this season, with five games that weren't competitive.
## Key takeaway

Eight NFC teams have at least four losses after Week 6 of the 2026 NFL season.
