Still though, during the National morning sports shows, there were some voices claiming Peterson is "washed up" and rival teams will soon adjust to his presence. Only time will tell, but there's no denying the fact his efforts did make the difference in the game against the Buccaneers. Thus the Cardinals no longer have a losing record & now are 3-3:
"Adrian Peterson makes most of Cardinals debut, scores 2 TDs"

"Peterson, who was traded to the Cardinals on Tuesday, ran for 134 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries in Arizona's 38-33 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was his first 100-yard game since Week 16 of the 2015 season and his first multi-touchdown game since Week 12 of 2015."
Another important event in the NFL was Packers' QB Aaron Rodgers' broken collarbone which could cause him to miss the season:
"Aaron Rodgers’s injury gives the NFL yet another issue to worry about" https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/sports/wp/2017/10/16/aaron-rodgerss-injury-gives-the-nfl-yet-another-issue-to-worry-about/?utm_term=.4bef0acc8030"Meanwhile, another major injury to one of the league’s biggest stars threatens to diminish the on-field product. Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered a broken collarbone, with the team acknowledging there is a chance that he will be sidelined for the remainder of the season."
Also, I have a lot of family members (born here(?) & in Cali(?!!)) who for some reason are Steelers fans & had been concerned ever since their favorite team's lopsided loss against the Jaguars. However, they began bragging again when the Steelers beat the (no-longer-undefeated) Chiefs:
"Chiefs have aura of invincibility ripped away by Steelers in 19-13 loss"
"KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- As the NFL's last remaining unbeaten team, theKansas City Chiefs were perhaps due for a correction. In that light, Sunday's loss to their longtime tormentors, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers, wasn't a surprise.
The magnitude of their fall was a shock. The Chiefs were barely competitive for much of the game. They fought back late but still lost 19-13 at Arrowhead Stadium, a defeat that dropped them to 5-1 overall."
As for the rest of the games; here's the NFL's page with the regular season's schedule & results for week 6:
