Look, the 2025 NFL season has been weird, but Week 7 was basically a fever dream. If you just glanced at the scoreboard and went about your day, you missed the kind of chaos that keeps Vegas bookies awake at night. We’re talking about a historic 18-point comeback in the final six minutes, a shutout by a coach who had never had one in over 400 games, and the continued freefall of the New York Jets. Honestly, if you didn’t watch the Denver game, you didn't really see NFL scores for week 7 in their true, heart-stopping glory.
The Mile High Miracle: 33 Points in One Quarter
The headline that everyone is still buzzing about—and for good reason—is what happened in Denver. The New York Giants, led by rookie sensation Jaxson Dart, were absolutely cruising. They were up 26-8 with about six minutes left on the clock. At that point, the Broncos had an win probability that was essentially zero.
Then Bo Nix decided he’d had enough.

Denver scored 33 points in the fourth quarter alone. Read that again. They went from being left for dead to winning 33-32 on a last-second Will Lutz field goal. According to NFL researchers, teams trailing by 18+ points in the final six minutes were 0-1,602 in previous attempts. The Broncos are now the "1" in 1-1,602. It was a total meltdown by Brian Daboll’s squad, made worse by emergency kicker Jude McAtamney missing two extra points that would have changed the entire math of the comeback.
A Quick Look at the Scoreboard
Sometimes prose just doesn't cut it when you need the raw numbers. Here’s how the rest of the league shook out across a very busy weekend.

Why the Chiefs’ Shutout Actually Matters
You’d think Andy Reid had seen everything. But until this Sunday, "Big Red" had never coached a regular-season shutout in his 427-game career. Let that sink in. The 31-0 dismantling of the Raiders wasn't just about a bad Las Vegas offense—though Geno Smith getting benched for Kenny Pickett certainly helped—it was about the return of Rashee Rice. After a six-game suspension, Rice caught two touchdowns in the first half and immediately made Patrick Mahomes look like the 2022 version of himself again.
The Chiefs' defense is legit. Spagnuolo has them playing "hair-on-fire" football. They held the Raiders to 93 total yards. That's not a typo.

The QB Carousel and Injury Woes
Week 7 was brutal for the "new guard" of quarterbacks. Jayden Daniels, the spark plug for the Commanders, left the Dallas game with a hamstring injury. It’s his second significant injury of the year, and Washington looked "old and slow" (to quote CBS Sports' recap) the second he exited the field.
Meanwhile, in New York, the Aaron Glenn era is off to a historically bad 0-7 start. They benched Justin Fields for Tyrod Taylor against the Panthers, and it somehow got worse. Taylor threw two interceptions on deep balls that weren't even close. If you’re a Jets fan, I’m sorry. Truly.
Actionable Insights for Week 8
If you're looking at these NFL scores for week 7 and trying to figure out what it means for your fantasy team or next week's picks, here’s the reality:
- Sell High on Denver's Defense: Yes, they won, but giving up 26 points to the Giants before the miracle comeback shows some cracks in the secondary that better teams will exploit.
- The Eagles are Back: Jalen Hurts finally found his rhythm with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. They went 5-for-5 on passes over 20 yards. If they’re on your schedule, start your secondary.
- Monitor Jayden Daniels: Hamstrings are tricky. If he sits, the Commanders' offense is a shell of itself.
The playoff picture is starting to crystallize. The Colts are quietly 6-1, and the Patriots are 5-2 under Mike Vrabel, looking like the physical bullies of the AFC East. Keep an eye on the waiver wire for Rashee Rice if he was somehow dropped during his suspension; he is clearly the focal point of that Kansas City attack again.
