Yahoo Sports Staff Updated Sun, October 25, 2026 at 7:06 PM UTC About Our Ads Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement We've got another loaded NFL Sunday slate on deck in Week 7, following up the morning's Pittsburgh Steelers-New Orleans Saints showdown in Paris with seven games in the early window and three in the afternoon.

Notably, we've got four teams on bye in Week 7: the Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Chargers and Washington Commanders.

Follow along with Yahoo Sports for live updates, highlights and more from Week 7's Sunday game slate.

New York opened the second half with a punt, and Houston is giving it right back to them. The Texans ran three plays, gained nine yards, and opted to punt since Houston was on its own 23-yard line.

The Lions' secondary has allowed the fourth-most passing touchdowns (14) and the fourth-highest NFL passer rating (106.3) through the first six weeks of the season.

They'll get a key contributor back onto the field in Week 7, though, as Pro Bowl safety Brian Branch makes his season debut after a ruptured Achilles suffered last season. He's officially active.

Here's a look at the list of inactives for Lions vs. Packers in Week 7.

New York wasn't able to muster anything to begin the second half. The Giants ran eight plays and picked up 33 yards, but the drive ended in a punt.

After the 50-yard gain to get down the field, Geno Smith went to his rookie wide receiver again. This time it was a three-yard TD.

Tampa Bay is rolling on Sunday. Carolina was a surprise of the season because of how well the offense had played, but that hasn't happened this week.

The Bucs picked off Bryce Young again, his second of the game and the Panthers' fourth overall turnover.

Cincinnati has taken its first lead. Bengals QB Joe Burrow found Tee Higgins for the 13-yard score.

Cincy leads 14-13 with 4:29 left in the third quarter.

Jets QB Geno Smith is learning that he can air out the ball for rookie wideout Omar Cooper Jr. After a big play last week, Smith launched a ball downfield, and it found Cooper, who made a contested catch for a gain of 50 yards.

Baltimore quarterback Tyler Huntley was scrambling right, but he was caught from behind and brought down for a loss of four yards.

The Ravens went three-and-out on their first possession of the second half.

With just under 90 minutes left until kickoff, the Denver Broncos and Arizona Cardinals have announced their Week 7 inactives. Here's a look:

The veteran running back has returned to the game against the Falcons. He was dealing with a thigh injury and is feeling well enough to at least return to the game.

Cincinnati is finally on the board. Quarterback Joe Burrow found tight end Mike Gesicki for the six-yard score.

Kyle Pitts is the latest player to celebrate National Tight Ends Day.

Michael Penix Jr. found his tight end running toward the sideline and Pitts held onto the pass for the 5-yard score.

Giants rookie kicker Dominic Zvada is having a game to forget. He missed another kick, this one from 44 yards out.

The Texans and Giants are tied at 14 heading into halftime. New York will have the ball after the break.

Marvin Harrison Jr. has his first TD with the Texans. The former college teammates connected for Houston's first TD of the game against the Giants with a 6-yard score right before halftime.

Houston opted to go for two. Cade Stover took the shovel pass into the end zone for the successful conversion, tying the game at 14.

Tank Dell is playing in his first football game in 673 days. The Texans wide receiver was able to catch a pass from CJ Stroud in space and took it for 43 yards.

Baker Mayfield now has 200 career passing touchdowns. He found a wide-open Tez Johnson in the end zone for 6.

The Buccaneers have put up 33 first-half points against the Panthers.

Baltimore takes a 13-point lead into halftime.

Cincinnati had the ball last before the break, but weren't able to get anything going despite Joe Burrow having three completions for 24 yards.

Miami's offense is cooking on Sunday. Malik Willis got the Dolphins within the 10-yard line. Willis then kept the ball himself and made a dash for the left pylon. He lowered his shoulder and bullied his way in for the score.

Browns RB Quinshon Judkins has his second TD of the game. This one was from six yards out and helped the Browns tie the game at 14.

Baltimore had a 13-play drive where the Ravens picked up 82 yards. As Baltimore got within the 10-yard line, though, the Bengals' defense stepped up and kept the Ravens out of the end zone.

Tyler Loop settled for a 24-yard field goal, putting Baltimore up 13-0 with less than a minute remaining in the first half.
