Like every Monday of the NFL season, we go with the conclusions from A to Z according to the Guru, from week 7 in the #NFLxESPN.
A. Sean Payton had a fitting return to New Orleansbecause his Denver Broncos managed to run the ball successfully, and the defense dominated despite the absence of Patrick Surtain II. Bo Nix and the passing game are still a work in progress, but Denver is 4-3. #NFLXESPN
B. The Saints season is starting to go overboard with all the injuries and now the five consecutive losses they have suffered. Spencer Rattler has a lot of room for improvement, but there’s no excuse for the defense being the strain it was the last two weeks. #NFLXESPN
C. After a slow start, the Jaguars took control of the game in the second quarter. They dominated the trenches, and Tank Bigsby imposed his will on the ground, while Trevor Lawrence was efficient and Brian Thomas continues to be a guarantee. #NFLXESPN
D. Drake Maye’s start to the game was absolutely fantastic, but the New England Patriots were never able to run the ball and their coach Jerrod Mayo He classified them as a “soft” team. Rookie Ja’Lynn Polk has been a disappointment so far for the Patriots. #NFLXESPN
E. After three weeks in which Seattle’s defense was conspicuous by its absence, the unit forced three turnovers, including a fumble returned for a touchdown. Geno Smith had an efficient day and avoided mistakes. #NFLXESPN
F. Kirk Cousins didn’t have a good day at the office, and just when it looked like the Falcons were getting back into the game, the quarterback Atlanta He committed three losses that ended the lawsuit. Bijan Robinson surpassed 100 yards rushing, but it wasn’t enough. #NFLXESPN

NFL Week 7 Highlights
The Chiefs ratify a new identity on offense by beating the 49ers; The Packers take advantage of playing at home against the Texans and Detroit’s offense is too much for the Vikings.
G. Amari Cooper woke up in the second half, and ended up having a good debut for the Bills; Keon Coleman He finished with 125 yards passing and a touchdown. Buffalo’s defense dominated in the third quarter with a huge Greg Rousseau, but Terrel Bernard was injured. #NFLXESPN
H. Mason Rudolph He had a great start to the game replacing Will Levis, but little by little he succumbed to the pressure, given the injuries and the ineffectiveness of the offensive line; They fail to be vertical. Tennessee’s defense limited the running game well. #NFLXESPN
I. Cincinnati only averaged 2.4 yards per carry, but two connections by Joe Burrow with Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins were enough to win the game. The defense allowed 14 points or fewer for the second straight week. #NFLXESPN
J. Deshaun Watson tore his Achilles tendon and will miss the rest of the season. Dorian Thompson-Robinson replaced him and injured a finger, while Jameis Winston looked better. Nick Chubb is back, but boy would Cleveland like to have Joe Flacco. #NFLXESPN
K. The Packers defense pressured CJ Stroud all afternoon, limiting him to 86 yards passing. Jordan Love alternates brilliant moments like the TD to Kraftwith other very bad ones, like his two interceptions. Brandon McManus had the winning kick in his debut. #NFLXESPN
L. Joe Mixon was the only aspect of the Texans’ offense that worked Sunday, finishing with 115 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Houston’s offensive line was a disaster, and CJ Stroud was running for his life. The defense recorded two interceptions. #NFLXESPN
M. Anthony Richardson continues to leave a lot to be desired when it comes to attacking through the air, but his legs were essential to winning an ugly game against Miami. Grant Stuard finished with 18 tackles, and the Colts defense forced two crucial fumbles. #NFLXESPN
N. The Dolphins’ running game was effective with 188 total yards, but the offense remains anemic, having just 70 points on the season. Tyler Huntley injured his shoulder, although Tua Tagovailoa would return this week. #NFLXESPN
O. Jahmyr Gibbs had a great game for Lions; he finished with 160 total yards and a TD. Jared Goff handled Minnesota’s pressure well and was effective and avoided mistakes. TO Detroit They struggled to apply pressure without Aidan Hutchinson, but they climbed to the top of the division. #NFLXESPN
P. The Vikings defense had trouble stopping the running game; They returned a fumble for a touchdown. Sam Darnold had a very costly interception and couldn’t shine at the end. Despite the defeat, Minnesota will be the protagonist. #NFLXESPN
Q. Saquon Barkley had his revenge game against his former team, and finished with 176 rushing yards and a touchdown; He averaged 10.4 yards per carry. The Eagles defense had been having trouble applying pressure, but finished with eight sacks on the day. #NFLXESPN
R. Giants management’s worst nightmare came true after Barkley It will literally run over them. The offensive line looked really bad without Andrew Thomas, and Daniel Jones was replaced by Drew Lock in the complement. The Giants were never able to run. #NFLXESPN
S. Commanders won their third game by more than 21 points so far this season. Jayden Daniels injured his ribs, although his mother says he is fine. Marcus Mariota performed well and the offense looked unstoppable. The defense of Washington It looks better and better. #NFLXESPN
T. At this point in the game, I already think that Dave Canales It’s obtuse. Andy Dalton threw two ugly interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown. Dalton is not the future, and I would at least like to see more of Bryce Young. Carolina is the worst team in the NFL. #NFLXESPN
U. The Chiefs defense is probably the best in the NFL, and they showed it again with three interceptions. Kansas City had more rushing yards than San Francisco. Patrick Mahomes threw two more interceptions, but shows moments of magic in key situations. #NFLXESPN
V. As we always say, the 49ers special teams are anything but special. Brock Purdy looked scrappy without his stars; Deebo Samuel was sick and Brandon Aiyuk suffered a possible nasty knee injury. Kyle Shanahan is 0-5 against Kansas City. #NFLXESPN
W. The Rams defense carried the team on its shoulders, with three interceptions and a fumble returned for a touchdown by Camren Curl. Kyren Williams is a touchdown scoring machine, and with the loss of 49ersLos Angeles is more alive than ever. #NFLXESPN
X. Marshal Aidan O’Connell fractured a finger and could miss extended time; Gardner Minshew committed four losses in his replacement. Brock Bowers continues to break records in his rookie season, but the Raiders They don’t go anywhere. #NFLXESPN
Y. Russel Wilson did not start a game in the best way, in which he had a lot of pressure and little support from the fans. However, he ended up performing well, adding verticality to the offense and uncovering George Pickens. Beanie Bishop had two interceptions for Pittsburgh. #NFLXESPN
Z. The Jets offense, with new addition Davante Adams, looked weak again, with Breece Hall at receiver being its only bright spot. The problem is that the defense looked even worse and allowed more than 400 yards and 37 points against an anemic offense of Steelers. #NFLXESPN
