Another Sunday, another complete list NFL the action is almost like in the books. And there's been no shortage of storylines in week seven so far: Joe Flacco And Cincinnati Bengals outplayed Aaron Rodgers And Pittsburgh Steelers To kick off this week's schedule, a few more amazing teams took the spotlight, including Cleveland Browns against flooding Miami Dolphins.
Some results were quite predictable, such as Mike Vrabel scoring a decisive victory over his old team. Tennessee Titansthanks to another stellar performance from the quarterback. Drake Maye. Others were a little more explicit, e.g. Los Angeles Rams devastation Jacksonville Jaguars abroad, despite the latter competing in international competition with a promising 4–2 record. And then there were no-contest matches like Kansas City Chiefs suppression of an opponent Las Vegas Raiders with the score 31:0.
Which players, coaches and teams were the biggest winners (and losers) of Week 7? Here's our pick of the most noteworthy moments from Sunday's matches, both for the better and for the worse:
Lost 19 points in the fourth quarter? Don't worry. Nix has earned a reputation as a late-game fighter, and that was on full display on Sunday when New York Giants looked ready to run away when faced with the broken road. Denver Broncos. The sophomore quarterback hauled in five straight scoring passes and totaled four touchdowns of his own to fuel a massive comeback for the Broncos.
Loser: Brian Daboll
Giants coach may be energetic rookie's best friend Jackson Dartbut his seat could heat up after his team gave up 33 points in the fourth quarter of a potential win over Denver. His carefully selected emergency kicker, Jude McAtamneymissed two extra points. And it may be difficult to overcome the gut punch that the locker room will feel after such an “L.”
Winner: Brian Schottenheimer
Why don't we talk more about what this guy does – or at least enjoys – in charge of Dallas Cowboys? America's Team may still lack playoff-caliber defense, but Dak Prescott spent much of the year touting him as MVP material. This continued against the opponent Washington commandersWith Javonte Williams, CeeDee Lamb And George Pickens everyone plays splashes.
Loser: Commanders
Sunday was a double blow for Washington. Not only is Dan Quinn's team heading into 2024 Super Bowllooks increasingly old and slow, playing catch-up with the Cowboys, but a star quarterback Jayden Daniels Also left with a hamstring injury. This is Daniels' second major injury of the year, and we're not even halfway through 2025 yet.
Winner: Andy Reid
Read's Chiefs looked like they were finally back to title-level form with their prime-time demolition. Detroit Lions in the sixth week. However, in the end it all worked out against the Raiders: Patrick Mahomes benefited greatly from 2025 debut Rashi Rice. The former suspended receiver had seven catches and two scores to balance out Reed's offensive arsenal.
Essentially, each week has been a new low for the Miami Dolphins quarterback, both on and off the field. Fresh off a public apology for his teammates messing around in the building, Tagovailoa traded three picks in a loss to none other than the Cleveland Browns. Back-breaking turnovers have become his calling card in 2025.
No Puka Nacua? No problem for the Los Angeles Rams quarterback, who gave London a show for the ages despite rainy conditions against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Stafford may be 37, but on the international stage he acted as if he were 27, scoring five points, including three for Davante Adams. He also felt no pressure, receiving elite defensive support to the tune of seven sacks.
Loser: Aaron Glenn
Look, we're not going to sit here and assume that all renovations are effective overnight; Glenn's old team, the Detroit Lions, took many hits before becoming a real contender. But after Sunday's ugly 13-6 loss to Carolina Panthersin which he finally sat on the bench Justin Fields despite repeated assurances to reporters that he would not do so, Glenn became the first Jets coach who has ever started 0-7.
Winner: Eagles'passing game
Philadelphia had been an alarmingly erratic passing game in the two games heading into Sunday, especially given the wealth of talent on their roster. Versus Exotic Brian Flores Minnesota Vikings protection, however Jalen Hurts really got the hang of it, distributing one dart after another to both of them in a timely manner AJ Brown And DeVonta Smith. They enjoyed the most dynamic air attack in a long time.
Loser: Titans
Was Tennessee right to move on from Mike Vrabel after the 2023 season? You can still prove it. But there's no denying that Vrabel is in a much better position than his former organization. Making their first appearance under interim Mike McCoy, the Titans again lost the ball to the rookie. Cam Ward under center, giving Vrabel an easy victory Patriots.
Chicago Bears They don’t necessarily win beautifully. But any Chitown resident would sign up for a 4-2 start in a heartbeat. Even with a defender Caleb Williams posting mediocre statistics against New Orleans Saints On Sunday, Johnson maintained the ground game in both matches. D'Andre Swift And Kyle Monangaiand his defensive guru Dennis Allen also appeared.
