The NFL is heating up, and Week 7 brings a mix of pressure, comeback stories, and intriguing matchups. The Eagles, once unbeaten, are now struggling, while the Vikings, with Carson Wentz at the helm, aim to keep their momentum. Meanwhile, the Commanders and Cowboys are both desperate for a win, and the Jaguars face a tough test against the Rams in London. The Patriots, led by Mike Vrabel, return to Tennessee, where he used to coach, adding a layer of drama to an already intense game. The Chargers and Colts, two surprise division leaders, face off in a battle that could shape the playoff picture. And in a rematch of last year's divisional round, the Lions host the Buccaneers, with Baker Mayfield playing like an MVP. The Eagles' offense has been a mess, ranking near the bottom in almost every category. Jalen Hurts admits they're still searching for their identity, and Saquon Barkley hasn't been the same dominant force he was last season. The Vikings' defense, however, has a weakness in the rushing game, which could be an opportunity for the Eagles to turn things around. The Commanders and Cowboys both need a win badly. Washington must take better care of the ball and capitalize on Dallas' struggling defense. Meanwhile, the Jaguars face a tough defensive front, and their offense needs to step up after a disappointing loss to the Seahawks. The Patriots are on a roll, and Vrabel's return to Tennessee adds a personal touch to the game. The Colts have been impressive, with Jonathan Taylor leading the NFL in rushing yards and touchdowns. The Chargers, on the other hand, need to bounce back after a loss to the Dolphins. The Lions and Buccaneers are both playing great football, and this rematch could be a preview of the NFC Championship. Baker Mayfield has been outstanding, leading game-winning drives despite injuries. The Lions, meanwhile, have a powerful rushing attack that the Buccaneers will need to contain.
