Three of those teams – the GREEN BAY PACKERS (38.0 points per game, 4-0), SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (33.8, 5-0) and
TENNESSEE TITANS (30.5, 4-0) – are unbeaten entering Week 6. The PITTSBURGH STEELERS (4-0) are averaging
29.5 points per game and also have yet to lose this season.
If Green Bay (at Tampa Bay; 4:25 PM ET, FOX), Tennessee (vs. Houston; 1:00 PM ET, CBS) and Pittsburgh (vs.
Cleveland; 1:00 PM ET, CBS) are all victorious in Week 6, 2020 will be the third season since 1970 (not including the
shortened 1982 season) in which at least four teams are unbeaten through six weeks. Seattle has a bye in Week 6.
The seasons with the most unbeaten teams through six weeks since 1970 (not including the shortened 1982 season):
