Week 7 of the NFL saw a big upset, some blowouts and several close calls.
Bye-Bye Brady
The Carolina Panthers were arguably the biggest winners of Week 7. Carolina dethroned the seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady. In the 21-3 loss to Carolina, Brady failed to lead the Bucs to a single touchdown. For the first time since 2002, Brady is under a .500 record through seven games.
The Panthers offense took charge over Tampa Bay, putting up 14 unanswered points between the second and third quarters. Wide receiver DJ Moore put Carolina on the board just before the half, while running back Chuba Hubbard extended the Panthers’ lead later on.

Jets Achieve Fourth Straight Win
With a 16-9 win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday, the Jets won their fourth straight game. The euphoria may not last for New York, as star rookie running back Breece Hall may be out for the rest of the season. Shortly after going 62 yards for a touchdown, Hall left the field with a left knee injury in the second quarter. Head coach Robert Saleh said the initial diagnosis is a torn ACL.
