21 October 2026: In the real-world NFL, week 6 had some fascinating stories: the first was high-profile injuries, with Jalen Hurts, the Eagles QB, unfortunately being ruled out for the rest of the season after their 25-14 loss to the Carolina Panthers; and Rams star WR Davante Adams unluckily suffering a ruptured hamstring which will see him sidelined for a number of weeks. Talking of the Rams, the second story of the week was the Cardinals pulling off a huge upset at the SoFi Stadium, winning 18-16 without scoring a single touchdown. Chad Ryland deserves his flowers for six field goals including a 43-yard winner as the clock ran down. And the third story of the week was the pressure building on coaches and GMs as the season takes shape for their teams. The Colts said goodbye to their General Manager this week after losing 26-20 to the Titans. So did the performances on the NFL Retro Bowl '27 Championship leaderboard match the real-world?

The short answer is no, none of the matchups went to script! On the leaderboard the Eagles fans posted a huge score of 15,260,050, so however rocked by injuries their team may be in real-life, their stars are still able to make the difference in the game. Preseason darlings the Rams also fared better than their real-life counterparts by defeating the Cardinals and climbing into the top 10. And maybe the Colts’ GM would still be in post if the real-life team had beaten the Titans as convincingly as they did on the leaderboard, with the Colts moving up to a creditable 7th on the leaderboard this week. 

At the top, the 49ers had a great week, and their fans posted the top score of the week giving themselves just a little breathing room in front of the Ravens who are still in hot pursuit. Of course, it’s still only week 6, there’s plenty of weeks still to go, and you the players can change everything as we enter Week 7! Show your support for your team & move them up the leaderboard by playing next week's game and setting the highest score you can. 

Our weekly special mention for this week's highest individual score on the leaderboard goes to the Ravens fan who posted a score of 17,710! Not only have you broken the Lions’ grip on the highest individual scores of the week, but you’ve also posted a score that is quite simply enormous. Congratulations on a mind-blowing score, and for taking the title of week six MVP!!
