Week 7 of the NFL is here.
Thursday and Sunday were filled with action, upsets, and — no surprise here — overtime. Here are some of the best moments you may have missed below:
“Thursday Night Football” might have been one of the most boring games because the Broncos actually looked dominant:

The Chargers remain one of the most under-respected teams in the NFL:

3 notes from the #Chargers win over the #Titans: 1. LAC did it without Melvin Gordon & rushing for 47 yards total. 2. Michael Badgley made all the damn kicks again. Kicker controversy? 3. #Titans coach Mike Vrabel continues a league-wide trend of aggressive coaching. I like it.

Don’t tell me the @Chargers can’t make a super bowl run.

Tempers flared at the Eagles vs. Panthers game:
Eric Reid and Malcolm Jenkins had a falling out over Players Coalition. After signing with #Panthers, Reid called it “an NFL-funded subversion group.” Caught in middle of pregame altercation: Reid’s teammate Torrey Smith, the former #Eagles WR who has praised Jenkins’ leadership.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) October 21, 2018
Panthers S Eric Reid appearing to have words with #Eagles S Malcolm Jenkins before kickoff and even after. They had a disagreement over the Players Coalition last year and how funds were allocated by the NFL in response to player protests during the national anthem.
— Jeff McLane (@Jeff_McLane) October 21, 2018
The league protects quarterbacks, but not Carson Wentz, apparently. If Eric Reid put that cheap shop on Brady, Brees, etc., he’d have been ejected..

Eric Reid calls Malcolm Jenkins a “sellout” and a “neo-colonialist.” pic.twitter.com/uQfhz6o7FF

Eric Reid needed to be held back by his Panthers teammates from a group a Eagles players near midfield

The Vikings are waking up, and Adam Thielen looks unstoppable:
How many receivers would you take over Adam Thielen for the rest of the season? pic.twitter.com/W12URcx9IK
— Field Yates (@FieldYates) October 21, 2018
Did you guys know Adam Thielen went undrafted?
— Phil Mackey (@PhilMackey) October 21, 2018
Adam Thielen played D2 football. He wasn’t invited to the combine, or drafted. He was cut by the Vikings the first summer, spent a year as a practice squad guy, two years as bit player. Now he might be the best receiver in the NFL. If you believe in yourself, screw everyone else.

The Bills are doomed:
The Buffalo Bills have thrown three (3) touchdowns this year. Patrick Mahomes has now thrown three (3) touchdowns in a half six (6) times this year.
— Rodger Sherman (@rodger) October 22, 2018
Bills were getting ready to bench Derek Anderson for Nathan Peterman and then remembered it was Nathan Peterman.
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) October 21, 2018
Todd Gurley has scored seven more points than the Bills this season.

Very cold take: the Patriots are going to the Super Bowl:

History made: The Patriots pull off the first Hail Mary goal line stand

How lucky were the Patriots to barely take the Hail out of that Mary.

That Browns vs. Buccaneers game was so bad even LeBron James had to chime in:
Kickers been missing from 15-20-25 yards out with nobody else on the field all year but OF COURSE he would make from 59 yards out vs the Browns. Like c’mon man!
— LeBron James (@KingJames) October 21, 2018
Pretty much sums the Browns-Buccaneers game up. pic.twitter.com/UXtb3Jv3YE

Fourth overtime in seven games for Browns.

What happened to the Jags?
We were just told we could go into the Jaguars locker room. Then as the doors opened and we waited, we could see and hear clearing a very heated agreement going on with players in the locker room. We were told to come back out and wait.
— James Palmer (@JamesPalmerTV) October 21, 2018
Jaguars benched Blake Bortles for Cody Kessler.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) October 21, 2018
In a stunning turn of events, Blake Bortles is not good
— Adam Stites (@AdamStites_) October 21, 2018
Jalen Ramsey should apologize to all the quarterbacks he insulted because his quarterback Blake Bortles is worse than all of them.
— Jason Leach (@JasonKLeach) October 21, 2018
The Jaguars passed on Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson when they drafted Leonard Fournette. Then they sat out the quarterback derby this offseason and extended Blake Bortles instead of going after Kirk Cousins or Alex Smith.

The Lions kind of came out of nowhere:
*looks around, whispers
The Lions might be the best team in the NFC North
*punches self in face, comes back to reality
— Isaac (@WorldofIsaac) October 21, 2018
The @Lions had their most rushing yards (248) in a game since November 23, 1997. Their lead rusher that day? Barry Sanders pic.twitter.com/qbRwDAl6w0

Don’t look now but the Detroit Lions have quietly won three of their last four games:https://t.co/k9hBVAUW48#OnePride pic.twitter.com/RrIFky7kuo

Can the Saints and the Ravens both be good?
Justin Tucker absolutely cannot believe he just missed pic.twitter.com/ZHxKdWDv56
— FOX Sports: NFL (@NFLonFOX) October 21, 2018
Justin Tucker has kept Ravens in or won a ton of games over his career.
So please. Cut the very talented kicker a break. It happens.— Jayne Miller (@jemillerwbal) October 21, 2018
Either Joe Flacco saw a ghost or Justin Tucker missed his first extra point in 223 attempts pic.twitter.com/C8MzL2tPqs

The Redskins are holding water for the rest of the NFC East. You read that right:

If you’re an NFL executive watching/ listening to Tony Romo do the Cowboys vs. Redskins game, you should be on the phone with his agent right now asking how interested he’d be in an Offensive Coordinator gig.

The Rams are officially unstoppable:
For the first time since 1985, the @RamsNFL have started the season 7-0.
They remain the only undefeated NFL team. pic.twitter.com/0CT4wVJQ3z

Congratulations to the Rams on their 250-243 win over the Chiefs in the Super Bowl.
(Can’t believe Andy messed up the two-minute offense.)

Also pretty unstoppable, Patrick Mahomes:

Chiefs racked up 551 yards of offense against Cincy, their most since 2004 and tied for 5th-most in franchise history. Patrick Mahomes threw 4 TDs, giving him an NFL-record 22 in his first 8 games. Mahomes also topped 300 pass yards for 6th straight game, longest in team history

The Giants play the Falcons on Monday night at 8:15 p.m. to round out Week 7. It could be one of the NFC East’s last chances to actually prove they’re a legitimate conference in the NFL. Should be fun!!!
