Best & Worst NFL Week Seven

Week seven has come and gone around the National Football League. We had a very interesting week this week. A duel between two ageless wonders in Aaron Rogers and Joe Flacco. We had a comeback of seismic performances in the mile high city. And at the same time we had a few stinkers this week too, like what happened in both Miami and New York. Lots of ground we got to cover, so let's get right into it. Here's some of the best, and worst, of week seven in the NFL.

Best: Bo Nix, Quarterback Denver Broncos
It was one of the best comebacks in the history of the game on Sunday. The New York Giants had a 19-0 lead in the 4th quarter. It ended in a 33-32 win for the Denver Broncos. A lot of that had to do with a dominating 4th quarter performance by Bo Nix. It was a little alarming that Bo threw the ball 50 times on the day, completing 27 of those passes. He totaled 279 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Bo also had 5 carries for 48 yards and another two touchdowns. All four of those TD's came in the 4th quarter. The Giants had no answer whatsoever on the day for Bo. Nix has had a reputation for being a fighter in games, and we saw that in a big way on Sunday.

Worst: Tua Tagovailoa, Quarterback Miami Dolphins
Things don't seem to be getting any easier for Tua as this season has gone along. He's had a rough go of it both on and off the field. First, there was a public apology for comments he made about his teammates slacking off. This guy is supposed to be a leader on and off the field and seems to be having trouble with it. Now to add insult to injury, his play on the field is slipping quickly. Miami got it's doors blown off 31-6 by Cleveland. Tua was a huge reason for the bad play on Sunday. He went 12 of 23 for just 100 yards. Oh yeah, he also threw three picks on the day. IT bad enough to be throwing three picks in a game. It makes it look even worse to be throwing those three picks against a team as bad as the Cleveland Browns.

Best: DeVonte Smith, Wide Receiver Philadelphia Eagles
There's having a day, and there's what DeVonte did on Sunday. The Eagles pulled out a huge 28-22 win over the Vikings on Sunday, and Smith was a massive reason for it. Nine catches, one of which was for a touchdown, and a league best this week 183 yards. He was making the Minnesota defense look silly all day long hauling in the yards that he did on the day. it opened up a lot of options for the Eagles offensive game and helped them, in a big way, walk away with the victory.

Worst: Mike Evans, Wide Receiver Tampa Bay Buccaneers
This one kind of hurts to be writing out. It has nothing to do with a really bad performance for Evans, as it more a case of bad luck. Evans has been in the NFL for eleven years now, since he was taken seventh overall in 2014. Every year he has been in the league, he's had a thousand yard season. This year it looks like its going to come to an end. Not only did the Bucs fall 24-9 to the Lions in Detroit, but they will be without Evans for almost two months at least. Evans went for a pass, fell and was slow to get up. Turns out he broke his collar bone and will be out for a couple of months. With that being said, it looks like Evans string of thousand yard seasons comes to an end at eleven straight. Talk about bad luck.

Best: Micha Parsons, Defensive End Green bay Packers
WE have been waiting for Parsons to finally have his first really big game in Green Bay. In Sunday's 27-23 Packers win over the Cardinals, we got that big performance from Parsons. Five tackles on the day, including three sacks. Those three sacks equal his career high. He also had five other quarterback hits. Yes, it was perennial backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett under center for the Cardinals, a guy who isn't exactly known for his quick feet. But this was a statement game for Parsons, his first one that we've really seen this way since he got to Green Bay. It may have started to put him right back in the race for defensive player of the year this year.

Worst: Spencer Rattler, Quarterback New Orleans Saints
Going into the day, Rattler had been consistent in that he had so few interceptions thrown on the year. But the second year signal caller got lit up by the Bears defense, sort of, on Sunday. Chicago walked away with a 26-14 win over the Saints. Rattler turned the ball over four times, including throwing three picks on the day. It caused him to press more than he usually does. Chicago's defense really got him off his game. Sure, Rattler threw two touchdown passes, which is good. But his ball control on the week wasn't.
