The NFL Week 7 grades highlight a mix of triumphs and disappointments as the season progresses.

Cleveland Browns stunned fans by securing first place in their division after a thrilling 27-24 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Deshaun Watson played a pivotal role, leading his team with another fourth-quarter game-winning drive, marking his fifth this season. He becomes only the third quarterback since 1970 to achieve a game-winning drive in each of his team’s first five wins.

In the NFC East, the New York Giants also claimed the top spot, thanks to J.J. McCarthy stepping in as the starting quarterback. This victory against the Houston Texans (27-21) marks an incredible feat, as they have now won games with three different quarterbacks this season, a first since the 2016 New England Patriots.

Conversely, the Baltimore Ravens faced a shocking defeat, losing 35-13 to the Cincinnati Bengals despite leading 13-0 at halftime. This defeat ranks as the third-largest loss in NFL history for a team leading by at least 13 points at halftime. The Ravens have now lost 17 games since 2020 after leading by double digits, the most in the league.
