The biggest upset of the week came in Foxborough, where the New England Patriots shocked the Buffalo Bills with a touchdown in the closing seconds to secure a 29-25 win.

One of the most anticipated matchups of the week turned out to be a lopsided affair, as the Baltimore Ravens steamrolled the Detroit Lions en route to a 38-6 victory.

The Ravens weren’t the only AFC North team to win in Week 7. Both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns notched victories in their respective contests.
