It was a mixed bag for the Australians in the NFL during week 6.
While their teams by-and-large experienced success, some of the individual play dipped, due to either lack of use or injury.
Find out how all the Australian NFL players performed below.
It wasn’t the day out that Mailata was hoping for in week 6; while his team was able to claim a narrow win, the Aussie left the game during the third quarter with a hamstring injury.

Depending on the severity, Mailata could be out anywhere from three weeks to two months, leaving a sour taste on this Eagles win.
A first career start for rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler saw a brutal loss for New Orleans this week, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers put 51 points on the squad.
Hayball had six punts during the game, for 266 yards, but it seems that New Orleans early season success is now truly in the rearview mirror.
The Chicago Bears rookie duo of Caleb Williams and Tory Taylor went viral on draft night, after Williams told Taylor that he ‘wouldn’t be punting much’ this year.

It may have taken Williams longer than he wanted, but he made good on that promise Monday, after delivering a dominant offensive performance that saw Taylor punt just twice, both in the first quarter.
However, Taylor made the most of his limited field time, blasting both punts for an average of 61.5 yards.
In part one of week 6’s Aussie on Aussie punt battle, Dickson put in some solid work for his Seattle squad.
He punted four times in the loss, tallying up 216 total yards.
Wishnowsky’s team got the better of his countryman’s in this one, as the 49ers took a 12 point win over Seattle.
He also punted four times, though for slightly less yardage, 176 total.
The Ravens kept on rolling this week, taking down the upstart Washington Commanders.
Just as we all knew would happen.

Faalele did his part in the 30-point Baltimore effort, including some impressive blocking to free up his MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson.
