Momentum swings are beginning to define the heart of the NFL season, and while Week 7 isn’t as exciting as previous slates, it still sets the stage for another pivotal stretch filled with statement opportunities, revenge games, and high-stakes matchups across the map. Thursday night opens with a remarkable quarterback storyline, as 40-year old veterans Joe Flacco and Aaron Rodgers square off in Cincinnati when the Steelers visit the Bengals, marking Flacco’s second start since his surprising trade last week. Overseas, the Rams and Jaguars take center stage at Wembley Stadium to close out this year’s London series, a game that promises to be the most competitive of the international slate. Sunday night could deliver fireworks as the surging Falcons head west to challenge a short-handed 49ers squad desperate to stay afloat without several key starters. And just when fans think the action’s over, another Monday night doubleheader awaits, including a first matchup that features a Buccaneers team riding their hot streak into Detroit to face the Lions, who are eager to respond after a humbling loss in Kansas City, followed by a clash in Seattle where the resurgent Seahawks host a Texans defense that’s been among the league’s stingiest. With momentum shifting, contenders rising, and bettors looking for an edge, here’s a full breakdown of every matchup heading into Week 7:
