Best & Worst NFL Week Seven

Week seven has come and gone in the NFL and boy what a week it was. We saw one young gun QB have a monster day, while two older QB's seem to be going in the other direction. New York Football has been on fire as of late, while there are other teams that had higher expectations and are currently flopping. We also have other guys who come out of nowhere and are having monster years. All that and more has gone down this past week. So here's a look at some of the best, and worst, of week seven in the NFL.

Best: Cincinnati Bengals Passing Attack
To say that the Bengals had themselves a day on Sunday would be an understatement. Not only did they beat Atlanta 35-17, but Joe Burrow and his friends went off like a firecracker. First there's Burrow. He threw for 481 yards on the day. That number is not only the highest total in the NFL this season, but it was the 2nd highest total of his career and the third most in Bengals history. He's playing his best football right now and that makes for something very scary to go up against. Oh and lets not forget about the two guys who beniffited most from Burrow big day. Tyler Boyd had nine catches for 155 yards and a touchdown, while Ja'Marr Chase finished with eight catches for 130 yards and two touchdowns. The yards for both of those guys were the best in the NFL this week. If the Bengals are heating up now, they gonna be scary good.

Best: Josh Jacobs, Running Back Las Vegas Raiders
Talk about having a monster year. no disrespect to Sequan Barkley of the Giants, who's the leading rusher in the NFL this season, but Josh Jacobs is having just as much of a monster year in Vegas for the Raiders. he just ran for 143 yards and three touchdowns in a 38-20 win over Houston. Those 143 rush yards were second most in the NFL this week, behind Kenneth Walker. Jacobs is putting more pressure on the Raiders. Why? Because they declined the team option on him and he going to hit the free agent market in the offseason. To this point, he's rushed for 633 yards on the year, behind only Barkley and Nick Chubb.

Best: Patrick Mahomes, Quarterback Kansas City Chiefs
It's coming as a surprise to no one that Mahomes is doing what he's doing, he's one of the very best in the business. Kansas City put a 44-23 whooping on the 49ers, who were one of the better defenses in the NFL this season. Mahomes had himself a day, going 25 of 34 for 423 yards, three touchdowns and a pick. He was also sacked once. All this coming after getting trounced by the Buffalo Bills just one week prior. This type of performance proves that Mahomes is still top of the hill in the game today and its going to be a while before somone comes really close to knocking him off the top of the perch.

Worst: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Offense
There was supposed to be very high expectations for Tampa Bay this season. Look no further than the 21-3 loss in Carolina on Sunday. Nothing against the Panthers, but if your scoring just three points against them, then somethings wrong. Tampa hasn't been able to get the offensive mojo going. Brady hasn't been given the time he needs, or rather is used to, in order to develop the play. The pass game isn't anywhere close to what has become the sort of expectation here in Tampa. The talent is there, just not able to put it all together. It also not helping that the run game is just as MIA. Tampa's run attack is averaging just over three yards a play, which even in a pass happy league isn't going to be able to cut it.

Worst: Kenny Pickett, Quarterback Pittsburgh Steelers
Not to take anything away from the Dolphins, who are a very good team, but Kenny had a rough go of it. Miami walked away with a 16-10 win and Pickett looked off all day. He threw for 257 yards on 32 of 44 passing and a touchdown. But he was sacked twice and, even worse, threw three picks. Oh and those three picks were thrown inside the Miami 25. Look, there are going to be growing pains with some QB's in the NFL, they don't always mature as fast as others. Some guys can handle it quickly, while others it takes time. Pickett might not have hit his stride just yet, but he'll get there.

Worst: Dan Campbell Head Coach Detroit Lions
I feel bad for Dan Campbell I really do. He's on pace to be worse than what Matt Patrica did as head coach in Detroit. They were trounced 24-6 by the Cowboys. Dallas is a solid football team and with the loss, Detroit now sits at 1-5 on the season. Oh and each of the last three losses by the Lions have been by at least three scores. He's been delt a bad hand with a bad team, and there's only so much that some coaches can do with that talent, or lack there of. I feel bad for Campbell, because I don't see him coming back as head coach in the motor city next season.
