The Minnesota Vikings are the NFL's only remaining undefeated team after Week 7. The San Francisco 49ers lost 29-20 to the Atlanta Falcons, dropping to 6-1 after Christian McCaffrey missed a large part of the game. The Kansas City Chiefs also lost their first game, falling 20-3 to the Seattle Seahawks. The Vikings, now 6-0, beat the Indianapolis Colts and will enter November with a perfect record. Their upcoming schedule includes games against the Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, San Francisco and Buffalo Bills.
Several weaker NFL teams pushed their opponents hard in Week 7, and some pulled off upsets that will sting their rivals for the rest of the year. The San Francisco 49ers lost their unbeaten run to the Atlanta Falcons on the road, a defeat the writer considers less damaging given the travel and the non-divisional setting. Baltimore collapsed after halftime and fell to the Cincinnati Bengals, leaving them last in the AFC North without Lamar Jackson. The Miami Dolphins, still winless, beat the New York Jets, a result that puts head coach Aaron Glenn under growing pressure.
All four NFC North teams have winning records going into Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season, a first for any division. The undefeated Minnesota Vikings lead at 5-0 and are positioned to be the No. 2 seed as division champions. The Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions would take the three NFC wild-card spots. Analysts say the schedule will get much tougher over the final 12 weeks, and the Vikings and Bears are predicted to finish 12-5, with the Lions and Packers at 10-7.
