Instant reactions: Week seven

Reactions from the seventh week of the NFL regular season

Seattle 34, Arizona 22
The Seahawks are getting it done with Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch, Sidney Rice and just about anyone else.

San Diego 24, Jacksonville 6
Anyone surprised by this one? Moving on...

Atlanta 31, Tampa Bay 23
These really aren't your older brother's Falcons, are they? A home game against the woeful Buccaneers should not have been this close.

Buffalo 23, Miami 21
Apparently Doug Marrone was right to start Thad Lewis. The win keeps Buffalo in the thick of the AFC East race.

Carolina 30, St. Louis 15
Neither of these teams is easy to figure out this year. The Rams are hoping Sam Bradford isn't hurt for long.

Cincinnati 27, Detroit 24
It's not pretty, but the Bengals keep winning and still hold strong to first place in the AFC North.

Washington 45, Chicago 41
The Chicago Bears, since starting the season 3-0, are on a 1-3 streak. The latest loss likely reminded Chicago's opposing quarterback of his high-scoring college days.

Jets 30, New England 27 (OT)
The Patriots have lost two of their last three games. The AFC East race could be getting quite interesting.

Pittsburgh 19, Baltimore 16
Why does this rivalry never fail to disappoint? In a sport that's progressively transformed to bigger offensive turnouts each week, it's nice to see a defensive, low-scoring affair.

San Francisco 31, Tennessee 17
Jake Locker came back about a half too soon. The 49ers need every win they can get to stay in the NFC West race.

Kansas City 17, Houston 16
The Texans have shown that the Chiefs are beatable. Regardless, Kansas City will go into the Denver game undefeated.

Green Bay 31, Cleveland 13
I'm still not a fan of the Green Bay throwback uniforms, but they looked good wearing them from a football perspective.

Indianapolis 39, Denver 33
Indianapolis is once again the team to beat in the AFC. Denver can beat the Chiefs at Invesco, but the Broncos might not have a good visit to Kansas City. 

Giants 23, Minnesota 7
It is sad when the play of the game comes from the losing team. Josh Freeman out-Eli'd Eli, which is why the Giants won. 

Clayton's fantasy update:
Both teams suffered horrific losses this week. I'm about to say goodbye to Romo No-mo's entire set of starting skill players, who have done next to nothing in the past two weeks. No-mo fell to 3-3-1 in the standard league. 

A bye-week-depleted Fear The Llama fell to previously one-win Da Drug Deala. Da Drug Deala had five of nine starters in double digits as FTL dearly missed Drew Brees and Matt Bryant, among others. FTL drops to 3-4 with the loss.
