Sean back in front after post-birthday bash

That tie between Glenn and Sean lasted barely a week before the treachery that is the byes raised its ugly head in Week 6. The Junior Bro may have celebrated his birthday in the skies over the Rockies, but it was some truly rocky results in the standings that provided him with some Sunday gifts that will keep giving for the time being.

After opening with a mutual victory on Thursday night when the Broncos held off the beleaguered Stupor Bore champion Seahawks in a Mile High thriller, things took a decidedly less favorable turn on Sunday morning, starting with Houston’s win in London. They would soon get more unfavorable for the Senior Bro, whose luck ran out amid a flurry of last-minute flips while he tried to navigate a minefield of close games. He abandoned Philadelphia for Carolina, then he chickened out on Chicago and went with Atlanta. The former proved fortuitous, the latter less so. The Bears crushed the Falcons, earning Sean the first of what would be two big split victories.

In the second game, Glenn’s Ravens jumped out to a 10-0 lead against Cleveland and seemed to have things firmly in control before the Browns got off the mat late in the game to tie it up after Derrick Henry’s fumble deep in Baltimore territory. The Browns had an opportunity to win the game with a field goal that flew wide of the uprights. Baltimore failed to put them away. Then came the last Cleveland field goal of overtime. The kick appeared to be blocked, but a penalty set the Browns up for a second attempt, and this one was good, giving the Browns a 13-10 win, a share of the division lead, and Sean a 2-game boost in the Surfy standings.

The Junior Bro came away with a 10-4 record to win the bye-shortened week that saw Glenn finish second at 8-6 and Ben slide to six games behind in the overall standings with his 6-8 third-place finish. San Francisco held off Washington to become the first 6-0 team, while the undefeated Chiefs handed the woeful Chargers their sixth straight defeat, and the early season favorites to win it all, the Rams, fell to 2-4 after being upset by Arizona.
