Week 7 NFL Scores And Results: Saints Fall Again, Steelers Survive, And Titans Bomb Eagles

It’s pretty rare when an NFL game is over after the first quarter. That was the case Sunday in Colorado, when the Oakland Raiders scored 24 first-quarter points en route to a ridiculous 59-14 thrashing of the Denver Broncos.

Oakland’s 59 points were the most the team has scored in the history of the franchise. All of those points were on the board by the end of the third quarter.

The San Diego Chargers sang a familiar refrain on Sunday. Philip Rivers threw for 336 yards and San Diego’s defense held Tom Brady and the New England Patriots to just 210 total yards, but costly, untimely mistakes cost them a 23-20 victory at home.

Trailing 23-6 in the fourth quarter, Rivers found Antonio Gates for a four-yard touchdown, then Mike Tolbert scored on a one-yard plunge to cut the Patriots’ lead to three. Patriots head coach Bill Belichick decided to go for it on fourth down late to try to ice the game, but BenJarvus Green-Ellis was stuffed behind the line by Antwan Applewhite to give the Chargers a short field. Rivers found Gates on third down to get Kris Brown into range for a potential game-tying field goal.

The difference though, was a late Buccaneers’ drive which resulted in a one-yard touchdown pass to RB Cadillac Williams, puttings the Bucs ahead, 18-17.

The result was not surprising: the Baltimore Ravens beat the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Baltimore is now 5-2, while the Bills fall to 0-6 and are now the NFL’s only winless team.

The way that result came to fruition? Quite surprising, really. The Bills, entering Week 7 with the NFL’s No. 30-rated offense, piled up 505 total yards of offense, moving the ball at will against Ray Lewis and Baltimore’s defense. Ryan Fitzpatrick became the first Bills quarterback to surpass 300 passing yards since 2006, throwing for 373 yards and four touchdowns in Buffalo’s 37-34 overtime loss. Lee Evans caught three of those touchdown passes (on six catches for 105 yards), and Steve Johnson added eight catches for 158 yards and a touchdown.

Today, Cutler threw four interceptions in the Bears’ loss, and also fumbled once as well. His numbers were less than mediocre, as he completed 26 of 40 passes for 281 yards and only one touchdown.

Bears had 14 passing first downs, yet they scored only 14 points, seven of which were via an interception return.

It was that kind of day in the Georgia Dome. The Falcons played bend-don’t-break all day, giving the Bengals’ big receivers cushions in every direction, while White pulled in highlight catch after highlight catch.
