Week 6 of the 2023 NFL season is in the books. With all games complete, Steel Curtain Network’s survivor league has now claimed a few more victims.

With starting a new venture, there are not as many contestants this season as in year’s past who are in the running for the Donnie Shell football. With all of league one being filled with 100 contestants, league two capped out at 64 entries. Since I am entered in both leagues in order to have access, this means 163 contestants are vying for the signed Donnie Shell Hall of Fame football.

The most common choice in the contest this week was the Buffalo Bills over the New York Giants. There were 11 contestants between the two leagues that picked this game with there being only 3 in League 1 and 8 in League 2. With one final untimed down at the end of the game to determine the winner, those who picked the Bills moved on in dramatic fashion even though the argument of pass interference not being called is still going on.

The next most popular pick was the Miami Dolphins over the Carolina Panthers with 10 selections. The Panthers jumped out to a 14-0 lead which had many sweating the selection, but the Dolphins stormed back with 21 points in the 2nd quarter and won the game by three touchdowns.

When it came to the most common incorrect choice, there were two games as 6 contestants chose the Philadelphia Eagles to defeat the New York Jets and one selected the San Francisco 49ers over the Cleveland Browns. Additionally, one contestant failed to make their pick in time.

In League 1, there were 4 contestants eliminated with 21 going on in the contest. As for League 2, 4 contestants were eliminated with 12 moving through.

For those who are still in the contest, Week 7 is open and ready for you to make your next selection. Make sure you get in there and make your choice early as the selection can be changed up until 1 PM EST on Sunday.
