Atlanta Falcons 29-20 San Francisco 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers (6-1) came into Week 7 unbeaten, and while they were just 2-0 away from home, there was optimism that this team could keep their streak going against an Atlanta Falcons (3-4) team that have yet to be consistent in 2026.
After scores in both the first and second quarter, San Francisco's offense went completely quiet, and as a result, Michael Penix Jr. took over, ending the night with 313 passing yards alongside three Touchdowns and no turnovers.
For the 49ers, it was a rough day from Brock Purdy, who completed 27/40 but struggled to move the ball, tossing two interceptions to just one Touchdown, and with a 10-6 four quarter, it was the Falcons that picked up arguably the biggest upset of the season to date.

Cleveland Browns 27-24 Tennessee Titans
The Cleveland Browns (5-2) have been arguably the NFL's biggest surprise in 2026, and while they got a major challenge from the Tennessee Titans (1-6), they remained dominant, staying at the top of the AFC North division tied with Pittsburgh, who won earlier in the day.
The success for Cleveland came from the Browns ground game, as they used four different rushers to tally 183 yardso on the day and three Touchdowns, with the team rolling on the offensive side.
For Tennessee, Tony Pollard dominated on the ground with 129 yards and three scores, but with Cam Ward struggling to find his groove, the team remain with just one win on the season.
Minnesota Vikings 16-10 Indianapolis Colts
It's not been pretty every week this year, but once again, the Minnesota Vikings (6-0) snuck through, limiting the Indianapolis Colts (2-5) to just 10 points, all in the first half as they remained unbeaten thus far in 2026.
Offensively, the Vikings didn't find much either, as 10 of their 16 points came in the fourth quarter, with the team rushing for 136 yards while Kyler Murray was limited to just 150 yards and no scores through the air.
The Colts were equally ineffective in the air, as Daniel Jones completed just 13 of his 22 attempts, and while Jonathan Taylor had 95 yards and a score of his own, it just wasn't enough as Indianapolis continue to struggle to find an identity and consistency.
Miami Dolphins 28-25 New York Jets
The Miami Dolphins (1-5) and New York Jets (2-5) have been at the bottom of the AFC East for a few years now, and in 2026 it's been no different, although when they came together, it was quite an entertaining, back-and-forth game.
Malik Willis protected the ball well, helping a team that was led by Ollie Gordon on the ground with 103 yards and a score, with 21 of the Dolphins 28 points coming in the first half.
Despite once again showing promise, the New York Jets came up short when it mattered most, as 18 points in the second half saw them fall short even with a three score game from Geno Smith and 104 yards on the ground from their own talented back in Braelon Allen.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 43-13 Carolina Panthers
The Carolina Panthers (3-3) started 2026 well, but as of late they've struggled, and defensively they put up their worst performance of the year in Week 7, with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-5) showing a rare game of immense success with the ball.
That success all came from the ground game, as the Buccaneers combined for an amazing 258 yards on the day through Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell, with two interceptions fuelling their offensive performance.
Unfortunately, the Panthers just haven't managed to find any consistency, as they managed just 88 yards on the ground with Bryce Young throwing those two picks, and with the team now sitting at 3-3, they'll need to find some rhythm if they want to make a post-season push in 2026.
Cincinnati Bengals 35-13 Baltimore Ravens
The Cincinnati Bengals (4-2) have an immense offense when they're rolling, and we saw that again on Sunday on the road against the Baltimore Ravens (4-3), with the team putting up all 35 of those points in the second half following a lackluster start.
With a 143.3 rating, Joe Burrow was outstanding in this one, tossing four scores and leading a gigantic second half performance for the Bengals, with the team limited to just 73 yards on the ground.
With no Lamar Jackson still, Tyler Huntley put together a more than respectable performance, with 298 yards through the air, but unfortunately, they just couldn't find the end zone, as they had all 13 of their points in the first half, struggling mightily down the stretch.
New York Giants 27-21 Houston Texans
The New York Giants (4-2-1) are off to a great start in 2026, and while there was a scare from the Houston Texans (2-5), the road team survived an overtime thriller, taking the teams record to 1-1-1 away from home this season.
While JJ McCarthy didn't manage a score, he controlled the game well, with Cam Skattebo leading the way on the ground with the Giants see four different players rush for a Touchdown on the day.
While C.J. Stroud tried hard, he simply couldn't get things done in the air with 153 yards on the day, and while he had two Touchdowns, it wasn't enough as the Texans fell short in the end as they are now 0-4 at home early in 2026.
Los Angeles Rams 35-21 Las Vegas Raiders
The Los Angeles Rams (3-4) came into 2026 as a Super Bowl favorite, but thus far they've not been performing like it, with the team dropping 3 of their 4 home games early in the season.
However, with their latest win, they've moved to 2-1 on the road, this time picking up a win over the Las Vegas Raiders (3-4), riding a 21-point second quarter to a big win behind three Touchdowns from Matthew Stafford and 99 yards from Kyren Williams on the ground.
The Raiders battled as hard as they could, with Kirk Cousins doing his thing under center, but given that they combined for less than 50 yards on the ground, it was always going to be hard to chase down a genuine Super Bowl contender.
Denver Broncos 30-16 Arizona Cardinals
After a 2-2 start to the season, the Denver Broncos (5-2) have caught fire with wins in each of their last three games, and this time they took their road record to 2-2 with a win over the Arizona Cardinals (2-5), who fall to 0-3 at home on the season.
This time, it was about the balance for Denver, as Bo Nix threw for 218 yards while the team as a whole rushed for 159, with the team tallying 17 points in the second half as they kept their red-hot run going.
Unfortunately for the Cardinals, the team simply couldn't find sustained success on either side of the ball, with Trey McBride the standout star, hauling in 10 passes for 11 yards and a Touchdown as the team came up short by two scores on Sunday.
Detroit Lions 20-17 Green Bay Packers
The Detroit Lions (4-2) and Green Bay Packers (4-3) have a fantastic rivalry in the NFC North, and on Sunday, they played in yet another classic, with three points each in a tight fourth-quarter seeing the road team pick up the big win here.
Once again, it was the Lions trio of Jared Goff (303 yards), Jahmyr Gibbs (116 yards) and Amon-Ra St. Brown (153 yards) that starred, but in the end, it was Jake Bates that finished things off with a walk-off FG for the Lions divisional win.
The Packers fought hard though, with 264 yards and a 2/1 TD/INT ration from Jordan Love, but at the end of the day, a team with just 60 rushing yards combined as a team was going to struggle against a team like the Lions, even if they almost pulled off the win in the end.
Seattle Seahawks 20-3 Kansas City Chiefs
The Seattle Seahawks (4-3) haven't quite hit their strides after winning the Super Bowl earlier in 2026, and on Sunday Night Football, they had the tough job of matching up with the then undefeated Kansas City Chiefs (5-1).
However, the Seahawks were absolutely dominant at home in this one, with Emmanuel Wilson the standout with 100 yards as the team scored in the second, third and fourth quarter to get the job done.
It was the defense that stood up most though, limiting their opponents to under 200 yards despite their 5-0 start to the campaign, holding Mahomes to 19/33 with no scores and one interception as the Seahawks put the NFL on notice once again after a slow start.
