Zoneblitz Survivor Pool 2015: Week 6

by | Oct 15, 2015 | 2015 season, NFL Survivor pool

Everything looked good in week five until Jamaal Charles got hurt – and then the Kansas City Chiefs curled up in the fetal position and allowed arguably the league’s worst team, the Chicago Bears, to bite them in the backside.

That knocks Andy out of the survivor pool. John and Anthony had the Chiefs, as well, but they were already eliminated and participating only for their worldly opinions.

Here’s where we are at:

This week’s pick Previously used
Tony  Seattle Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Arizona, Indianapolis, New England
Rich Cincinnati NY Jets, New England, Seattle, Green Bay, NY Giants
Maggio NY Jets New England, New Orleans (eliminated), Seattle, Indianapolis, Kansas City (miss)
Vomhof Minnesota Green Bay, New Orleans (eliminated), Seattle, Indianapolis, Kansas City (miss)
Andy New England Green Bay, Arizona, Seattle, Indianapolis, Kansas City (eliminated)
