Five worst Week 6 performances: Jets offense craters in embarrassing London showing

The call was an egregious miss by officials. Not only did Diggs make minimal contact with Saints cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry, but he was so far removed from the play that it had no bearing on its outcome. It was by no means the only lowlight for the officiating crew, led by head referee Adrian Hill, but it was unquestionably the worst. 

Baltimore Ravens quarterbacks

Lamar Jackson (hamstring) was sorely missed on Sunday. The Ravens dropped to 1-5 on the season with a 17-3 home loss to the Los Angeles Rams (4-2). The result was particularly disheartening because the maligned Ravens defense showed up, holding the Rams to 241 total yards and under 20 points for the first time since Week 1.

But Baltimore couldn't take advantage of the strong effort because of terrible quarterback play. Starter Cooper Rush was 11-of-19 for 72 yards and an interception before being benched for Tyler Huntley, who finished 10-of-15 for 68 yards while also losing 23 yards on four sacks. The Ravens limp into their Week 7 bye tied with the Cleveland Browns for last in the AFC North, but at least Jackson, who has missed the past two games, is expected to return the next time they play. It won't be a moment too soon.

Dallas Cowboys defense

The league-worst Cowboys defense once again no-showed in a 30-27 road loss to the Carolina Panthers (3-3), who gained 410 yards, well above their season average (315 yards per game) entering Week 6. Dallas (2-3-1) couldn't stop running back Rico Dowdle, who had a monster revenge game against his former team, gaining 239 yards from scrimmage (183 rushing, 56 passing) while averaging 6.1 yards per carry.

After Dowdle had a career-high 206 rushing yards last Sunday, the Cowboys should have been more prepared. Then again, no amount of preparation can make up for a lack of defensive talent. With no end in sight to the team's struggles on that side of the ball, Dallas will continue to squander an excellent season from the offense, making this a wasted season.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa

The sixth-year quarterback publicly called out teammates for being late or not attending players-only meetings after a 29-27 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers (4-2), but those criticisms might not mean much after Tagovailoa's three-interception performance.

It's rarely a good look for a quarterback to blame others for his team's loss, but it's even worse when said quarterback played a key role in the defeat. On Tagovailoa's second interception, he forced the ball into coverage on a 3rd-and-13, and the Chargers took over possession at Miami's 37-yard line, scoring a touchdown four plays later.

Watching the game, it was jarring to think that at one point, people were genuinely debating whether Tagovailoa or Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, selected back-to-back in the 2020 NFL Draft, was better. Herbert has made it painfully clear over the years that he's the superior player, and that was never more apparent than on Sunday. The Chargers have a franchise quarterback, while the Dolphins (1-5) are still searching for one.
