Week 7 in the NFL was wild. The Steelers survived a late comeback attempt from the Titans to move to 6-0. The Seahawks fell from the ranks of the undefeated in a crazy overtime loss to the Cardinals. The Browns edged by the Bengals on a huge, go-ahead TD with 11 seconds remaining -- Baker Mayfield's fifth of the game. A Panthers tying field goal attempt from 65 yards came up just short, helping the Saints get a big division win. The Lions beat the Falcons with a touchdown pass on the final play of the game after an eight-play, 75-yard drive in the final 64 seconds. Washington kept the Cowboys to three points, and Green Bay dropped 35 on Houston, thanks to another strong day from Aaron Rodgers.
In the afternoon slate, Tom Brady threw four touchdowns in a Tampa Bay win, Justin Herbert led the Chargers back, and the Patriots fell flat in a rough, 27-point loss to the 49ers.
All that and more in Week 7's biggest takeaways from NFL Nation.

The Cardinals showed on Sunday night, in front of a national TV audience, that they had what it took to hang with the big boys. In a game that had nearly everything you could ask for, including nearly an extra 10 minutes of overtime, the Cardinals had a coming-of-age showing -- from Kyler Murray to Kliff Kingsbury. It was the type of win that might be looked back on in December or January as the defining moment of the season and one that could set the tone for the rest of the season -- including putting them in the thick of the NFC West race. -- Josh Weinfuss

With as leaky as their defense has been, the Seahawks needed Russell Wilson to play near perfect football for most of their 5-0 start. On Sunday night, they found out what happens when he doesn't. Wilson had plenty of brilliant moments but three bad ones in the Seahawks' overtime loss to Arizona. That exceeded a narrow margin for error thanks to the Seahawks' defense allowing 519 yards and not getting so much as an official hit on Kyler Murray. Wilson tossed two interceptions in regulation and a third in overtime to set up the Cardinals' game-winning field goal. That was after Arizona erased a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter, pushing to overtime a game that should have ended as a rare stress-free win for the Seahawks. Of their last 22 regular-season games, 17 have been decided by one score. The Seahawks were living on the edge so much that they were bound to fall over it eventually. -- Brady Henderson
