Quietly the Arizona Cardinals are 3-2 after winning two straight, but their most difficult task yet comes against the San Francisco 49ers in Week Six on Sunday.

Arizona has gone 3-9 against the 49ers since 2008, and haven’t won a game at Candlestick Park since then either. They’ll have a chance to snap that streak, and even take over second place in the NFC West with a win.

The Niners have won two straight as well, overthrowing Houston 34-3 last week, and St. Louis the week before that. The Texans victory was the best performance for the San Francisco defense this season, forcing four turnovers including Tramaine Brock’s 18-yard interception return that opened the game.

Head coach Jim Harbaugh had the running game do the heavy lifting the rest of the way. Frank Gore and Anthony Dixon each scored a touchdown, while quarterback Colin Kaepernick only threw 15 times, completing six passes for 113 yards and and a touchdown to tight end Vernon Davis.

The Cardinals have their defense to thank for last week’s 22-6 win over Carolina. They also generated four turnovers with three interceptions, and sacked quarterback Cam Newton seven times while forcing a safety in the third quarter.

Quarterback Carson Palmer struggled with three interceptions, but hit tight end Jim Dray for a seven-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter that squelched any chance of a Panthers comeback.

Michael Floyd made an Arizona-high five catches for 61 yards, and running back Rashard Mendenhall gained his second touchdown of the season.

Ranked 23rd in the leaue with 81 rushing yards a game, the Cardinals might be able to improve the ground attack against a banged up 49ers frontline. Defensive tackle Ray McDonald is questionable with a biceps injury, and Justin Smith is also questionable with a bum shoulder.

However the 49ers could welcome back All-Pro linebacker Patrick Willis, who suffered an injured groin against Indianapolis two weeks ago and missed last week’s win over Houston.

"Last week, I really tried to push it to go and it just wasn't all the way there," Willis said after practice on Wednesday to the San Jose Mercury News. "What I didn't want to do was lie to myself and teammates and not give all of myself. Me and the training staff felt it was the right approach.

"Yesterday it was better. I'm still feeling it a little bit but it's certainly a lot better than it was."

Perhaps no veteran quarterback in the NFL needs a victory like Houston Texan Matt Schaub. The 32-year-old has led the Texans to three straight losses, throwing six of his nine interceptions on the season during the nasty stretch, including four pick-sixes.

Schaub and the Texans can get their season back on track on Sunday against the St. Louis Rams at Reliant Stadium.

The Rams ended their own three-game losing streak with a gimme 34-20 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars last week. Sam Bradford tossed three touchdowns, two of which went to receiver Austin Pettis, and running back Zac Stacy emerged as a viable threat in what has been an otherwise underwhelming St. Louis backfield.

Stacy gained 78 rushing yards, and will reportedly start again versus Houston, who’s ranked near the bottom in the NFL against the run.

The Texans have scored in the single digits in two of their last three games, including last week’s 34-3 debacle against San Francisco. Schaub had three picks, but running back Arian Foster gained 98 yards, nearly tallying 100-plus for the second straight week.

Bradford could have a difficult time against the Texans top ranked secondary, and pass rushers Brian Cushing, J.J. Watt, and Whitney Mercilus. According to the Houston Chronicle, no opposing quarterback has thrown for more than 200 yards against the Texans this season.

The Rams have several injuries up and down their defense, a sign Houston could turn things around. Defensive end Williams Hayes is questionable with a knee injury, and top cornerback Cortland Finnegan is doubtful due to a hamstring strain. However defensive tackle Matt Contrath was updated to probable from questionable earlier this week.

The Texans have also said top receiver Andre Johnson is a game-time decision after playing through a shin injury. Head coach Gary Kubiak praised Johnson’s mettle and dedication.

"You know if he can get there, he’s going to get there for you, as a coach and as a teammate," Kubiak said to the team’s official website. "I know his leg has not felt good. He’s played really nicked up for us the last two weeks and probably not going to feel real good on Sunday. He always gives it up for his teammates.”

Betting Odds: Houston is favored by 9 points.

Over/Under: 42.5 points.

At the end of the season, the New York Jets could be looking at last week’s win as a turning point in their season. After an upset victory on Monday Night Football, the Jets will now look to take care of business against an winless team.

In Week Five, New York went into Atlanta as double-digit underdogs and beat the Falcons. In Week Six, they 3-2 Jets host the Pittsburgh Steelers, who come into the contest at 0-4.

Geno Smith had the best performance of his rookie season in the most recent victory. He threw a career-high three touchdowns and didn’t throw an interception for the first time. Perhaps most impressive was the drive that he engineered that the end of the fourth quarter. With the ball at the 20-yard line and his team trailing 28-27 with 1:54 remaining, the quarterback led the Jets 55 yards into field goal range.

"I needed to adjust my mentality coming into this game," Smith said, who led the AFC in turnovers prior to the game. "I made it my duty to not put us in harm's way, to not have stupid penalties, turnovers, anything that can jeopardize this team."

Santonio Holmes sat out with a hamstring injury, and it’s unknown when he’ll return. Smith completed 16 of 20 pass attempts, despite missing his top target. It was his first game since finding out that Mark Sanchez had been officially lost for the season because of shoulder surgery.

“It was a tremendous game for him,” said head coach Rex Ryan. “The 80% completion rate, extremely accurate with the ball, made some great decisions. I thought he ran hard. I thought it was a great game on his part.”

Ben Roethlisberger has been a perennial winner since he was drafted in 2004, but the rookie Smith is having more success than him in 2013. In fact, few other quarterbacks have had the disappointing season that Roethlisberger is enduring. He leads an offense that ranks 29th in the NFL. Only the Giants, Buccaneers and Jaguars, who are all winless, have had a more difficult time scoring.

The quarterback hasn’t gotten much help, though, playing behind a struggling offensive line. He’s fifth in the league in sacks, even though the Steelers are one of a few teams that had had their by weeks. According to cornerback Ryan Clark, the veteran may be trying to do too much.

“You to have to protect Ben against Ben," Clark told ESPN. "Right now, we have to tone Ben down in a sense and say, ‘Hey, right now, we're not a good enough football team for you to try to extend plays, for us to take sacks, for us to have turnovers.' ”

Clark might want to look at the Steelers’ running game for the main reason why the team can’t get into the end zone. They have the worst rushing offense in the league, averaging 58 yards per game. Rookie Le’Veon Bell will get the bulk of the carries after returning from an injury. He’ll play behind an offense live that will feature some changes. The Steelers traded for left tackle Levi Brown, and guard Ramon Foster could be out with a strained pectoral muscle.

Pittsburgh heads to MetLife Stadium, having had two weeks to prepare for the Jets. The Steelers are 5-1 in the game following their bye, under head coach Mike Tomlin.

The 2013 NFL season is set to begin on Thursday night when the Denver Broncos host the Baltimore Ravens. The defending Super Bowl champs will start the season on the road in a rematch of last year’s AFC Divisional Championship Game. The game is set to begin at 8:30 p.m. ET.

Broncos News

Denver begins the 2013 NFL regular season with the highest of expectations. They are the favorites to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl a year after leading the league in wins. On Thursday night, though, the Broncos do have some questions at key positions.

On defense, the defending AFC West champs will be missing a few players that made them a top unit in 2012. Elvis Dumervil will suit up for the opponent after leaving in free agency. Veteran cornerback Champ Bailey will be forced to sit with a left foot injury, and Von Miller won’t play for the first six games because of a suspension.

On the other side of the ball, Peyton Manning will have a few new weapons to work with. The addition of Wes Welker in the offseason gives the team three wide receivers that registered over 1,000 yards last season. Denver drafted Montee Ball in hopes that he would be their top running back, but head coach John Fox has yet to name a clear-cut No.1 option

Ravens News

Baltimore may be coming off a Super Bowl victory, but they aren’t seen as a top team in the league by many experts. After losing several star players in the offseason, the Ravens aren’t even favored to win their division.

The Ravens defense, which is usually regarded as one of the best in the league, looks a lot different than it has in years past. Ray Lewis and Ed Reed are gone, both of whom were staples in Baltimore for over a decade. However, the Ravens could have an even better defense than last year. The unit has been revamped and gained players like Dumervil, Marcus Spears and Chris Canty. Rookies Arthur Brown and Matt Elam can provide the youth and speed on defense that was needed.

Offensively, Joe Flacco has lost two of his top three targets. Anquan Boldin was sent to the San Francisco 49ers in a trade, and Dennis Pitta could miss the whole year with a hip injury. Flacco struggled in the preseason without his best playmakers. However, Ray Rice and Torrey Smith might be able to find success against a banged up Denver defense.
