ARLINGTON, Texas -- Week 7 has a weighty feel to it. It no longer feels early in the NFL season. We're in the thick of it now, with nearly two months' worth of evidence to support our opinions of these teams and these players. What might have felt like an overreaction in Week 2 feels less so now. This is also the point in the season where coaches get tired of underreacting. On Sunday, Jets coach Aaron Glenn seemed to have finally grown tired of watching Justin Fields' complete inability to sense or react to pressure, as he benched Fields for Tyrod Taylor on the second half of New York's latest lackluster loss.
Blowout victories in Week 7 of the NFL season meant extra time for social media admins to think of petty posts. That includes the New England Patriots, who defeated the Tennessee Titans 31-13 on the road. Quarterback Drake Maye threw for 222 yards and two touchdowns in New England's fourth straight win. Tennessee's offense accounted for 255 total yards, while turning the ball over twice.
