WASHINGTON — Seven is a lucky number … unless you’re talking about this week in the NFL. WTOP’s Rob Woodfork breaks it down in the weekly NFL Recap.
Eagles 34 OK Skins fans … time for another Good News/Bad News entry: Good News: Kirk Cousins is like a Manning. Bad News: He’s like Archie, the last QB to start his career 0-6 on Monday Night Football. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke)

Patriots 23 It’s a good thing the fog rolled into New England for this Super Bowl rematch so Matt Ryan couldn’t see the Patriots score 54 unanswered points between the two games, and up the defending champs’ record to 6-2 in Super Bowl rematches the following season. Good thing the Falcons weren’t looking for closure. (Photo by Adam Glanzman/Getty Images)

Chargers 21 Denver suffered their first shutout loss in 25 years because it has no help for their mediocre QB, continuing a dominant — and historic — afternoon for the city of Los Angeles.

Giants 7 Two things have Seattle feeling sexy: Short shorts and playing the lousy Giants. Both just feel like a good day at practice. (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images)

49ers 10 San Francisco can apparently outrun armed robbers but can’t stop a Cowboys home invasion. But the 49ers are still scoring!

Vikings 24 Dalvin who? Minnesota may be winning with any old quarterback but they’re doing so thanks to a run game that’s still churning up over 146 yards per game since the Dalvin Cook injury. It’s hard not to think the NFC North belongs to the Vikings now. (Photo by Hannah Foslien/Getty Images)

Dolphins 31 DeVante Parker’s Lazarus routine fell short but Miami rose from the dead in the fourth quarter despite losing Jay Cutler, forcing two Jets turnovers and holding Gang Green to -4 yards. So much for that f-ing culture change in New York. (Photo by Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images)

Rams 33 Good news, bad news for Arizona: Good – The Cardinals streak of lose-a-game, win-a-game is about to end. Bad – Carson Palmer’s potential season-ending injury means they won’t be winning many more games this season. (Photo by Alan Crowhurst/Getty Images)

Colts 0 Jacksonville’s defense continued their record pace getting to the QB and pitched its first shutout in 11 years, while Indy is pointing fingers after their third loss by 27+ points. We just saw the vast difference between the best and worst teams in the AFC South. (Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty Images)

Packers 17 Based on what we saw Sunday, if Brett Hundley really is a Hall of Famer — it’ll be as a running back, not a QB. (AP Photo/Mike Roemer)

Browns 9 (OT) If by “recharged and refocused” DeShone Kizer means “turnt and terrible,” then Cleveland’s miserable game of musical chairs at QB seems destined to continue. The Browns lead the NFL with 17 interceptions and seem like a lock to top 20 picks — regardless of who plays QB — when they face the swarming Vikings defense next week in London.

Bears 17 In what was supposed to be a QB battle between the strong, silent type vs. the Pretty Boy Assassin, Eddie Jackson stole the show on a lousy anniversary by becoming the first player in NFL history to score two defensive touchdowns of 75+ yards in a single game, and the first in a decade to run back a fumble and a pick in the same game. Considering Chicago is the first team in 67 years to win a game with seven or fewer pass attempts and five or fewer first downs, the Bears need to get more from Mitch Trubisky and that offense in New Orleans next week.

Bills 30 LeSean McCoy finally got on track by rushing for 91 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-tying score late in the fourth quarter. Shady better keep up that production if Buffalo is going to stay on course for a wild card berth. (Photo by Brett Carlsen/Getty Images)

Raiders 31 What. A. Game. In a showcase of excellent team speed on both offenses, Kareem Hunt became just the second player in NFL history to tally 1,000 scrimmage yards in his first seven career games, Amari Cooper became the first Raider in over 50 years to top 200 receiving yards in a game, Alex Smith stayed on course for MVP, and Derek Carr threw the NFL’s first TD on an untimed down to end the fourth quarter since Aaron Rodgers’ Hail Mary of 2015. Throw in Marshawn Lynch going Beast Mode on a ref (and then staying in the stadium on the sly) and the luckiest catch we’ve seen in years— and the NFL finally had their best game of the week in the leadoff spot.
