What happened: Philadelphia and Indianapolis each lost in Week 6 to deepen questions around Nick Sirianni and Shane Steichen. Both coaches said coaching staffs are evaluating all options. Los Angeles coach Jim Harbaugh struck a similar note as pressure built across the league.

Why it matters: Early losses narrow the margin for staying in postseason contention. Sustained scrutiny can force staff or lineup changes before jobs harden. For programs that opened unsteady, Week 6 set a tone for the stretch ahead.

What to watch: Philadelphia, Indianapolis and Los Angeles each face response games with staff evaluations ongoing. The next results will shape whether talk cools or ownership pressure grows.
