Lions Win on Walk-Off Kick, Rams Roll Past Raiders in Week 7 Late Games

Sunday’s late window in Week 7 featured a walk-off field goal in a tight NFC North battle, a dominant defensive day for Denver and an early offensive explosion from the Rams. Here’s how all three afternoon games played out.

Broncos 30, Cardinals 16

Denver’s defense took over late as the Broncos pulled away in Arizona. The Broncos sacked Jacoby Brissett three times and stopped the Cardinals twice on fourth down in the fourth quarter to protect the lead. Bo Nix also added a highlight on the ground, scoring the longest rushing touchdown by a quarterback since 2022. Denver improved to 5-2, while Arizona fell to 2-5.

Lions 20, Packers 17

Jake Bates kicked a walk-off field goal to give Detroit a hard-fought win in a game that came down to the final seconds. Green Bay had a golden chance in the closing minutes after a big Keisean Nixon return set the Packers up in field goal range with the game tied, but the Lions managed the clock well on their final drive to set up Bates’ winning kick. The game also drew attention for its officiating, with some critics arguing the officials overshadowed an otherwise great matchup. Detroit improved to 4-2, while Green Bay dropped to 4-3.

Rams 35, Raiders 21

Matthew Stafford threw three first-half touchdown passes as Los Angeles built a big early lead in Las Vegas. Stafford hit tight end Davis Allen twice and then found Puka Nacua to put the Rams up 21-3 in the second quarter, and they led 28-6 at halftime. The Raiders scored 15 points in the fourth quarter, including a Kirk Cousins touchdown pass to Ashton Jeanty, but missed two two-point tries as their comeback fell short. Both teams are now 3-4.
