| Edward Conner WR, Tampa Bay (82) |
The Bulls' loss left the Denver Gold (6-0) and New Jersey Generals (6-0) as the only remaining unbeaten teams in the USFL/WFL.
Tampa Bay was one of the league's perennial powers for half of its 10-season existence, making the postseason for five consecutive seasons and playing in World Bowls IV and V. Jacksonville, seeking its third consecutive Southeast Division championship, had beaten the Bandits, 36-13, at home two weeks earlier.
In other Week 6 games:
- San Antonio Gunslingers CB Jim Morrison made 11 tackles and intercepted two passes during a 23-16 win over the New York Stars.
- Hawaiians CB Eugene Holland and MLB Douglas Oneal combined for three interceptions during Honolulu's 14-13 win over the New Orleans VooDoo. New Orleans kicker Brian Johnson missed on a 50-yard field goal attempt with 3:40 to play.
- Undefeated Denver trailed the Arizona Wranglers, 20-17, in the third quarter before rallying for a 38-23 victory. Gold QB Dustin Nichols threw four TD passes and has 15 TDs vs. 4 INT this season.
- The Southern California Sun have put together the first three-game win streak in franchise history after stopping the Los Angeles Express, 16-6. SoCal was 1-17 all-time against their neighborhood rivals entering the 1983 season. MLB Edward Standley had 7 tackles, a sack, and a fumble recovery for the Sun.
