What happened: On First Things First, the hosts released their Week 6 Vibe Check fan poll, dropping the Dallas Cowboys 15 spots to No. 28 while the Green Bay Packers surged 17 spots. The hosts noted that the San Francisco 49ers took the top spot in the fan-voted rankings, which collect 1-to-10 sentiment scores during Monday Night Football. At the bottom of the poll, the hosts placed the Tennessee Titans at No. 32 with a score of 1.

Why it matters: The hosts highlighted fan frustration in Dallas over run and pass defense alongside contract complaints compared to unpaid contributors like George Pickens. Meanwhile, the diverging fan sentiment arrives with the Packers and Cowboys set for a Sunday Night Football matchup on Oct. 18. For Tennessee, the hosts pointed to a 6-33 record since firing Mike Vrabel as the driver behind the league-worst morale.

By the numbers: In the First Things First Week 6 Vibe Check rankings, the Packers rose 17 spots, the Cowboys fell 15 spots to No. 28, and the Titans ranked 32nd with a score of 1 and a 6-33 record since parting with Mike Vrabel.

What to watch: Dallas and Green Bay meet on Sunday Night Football on Oct. 18 before the hosts open the Week 7 fan poll during Monday Night Football.
