NFL Week 7 delivered comebacks and blowouts on Sunday, 25 October, headlined by Cincinnati's second-half surge in Baltimore, Tampa Bay's rout of Carolina and Atlanta's win over San Francisco. The early slate also saw Cleveland edge Tennessee and Minnesota hold off Indianapolis.

Bengals erase 13-0 deficit

After notching 12 first downs in the first half, Baltimore had only three in the second as Cincinnati stormed back from a 13-0 half-time deficit with five unanswered touchdowns in a 35-13 victory at M&T Bank Stadium. The 35 second-half points tied a Ravens record for the most they have surrendered in one half, and Cincinnati became just the 10th team in NFL history to score 35 or more points after being shut out in the first half. Quarterback Joe Burrow finished 22-for-30 for 292 yards, with touchdown passes to Mike Gesicki, Tee Higgins — six catches for 148 yards — and Ja'Marr Chase. The Bengals improved to 4-2.

Elsewhere on Sunday

Tampa Bay crushed Carolina 43-13, Atlanta beat San Francisco 29-20, Cleveland edged Tennessee 27-24 and Minnesota beat Indianapolis 16-10. Pittsburgh had earlier beaten New Orleans 16-10 in the Paris game. The results leave several divisional races finely balanced at the season's midpoint, with Cincinnati trailing Pittsburgh and Cleveland, both 5-2, in the AFC North, and Tampa Bay and Atlanta strengthening their positions in the NFC South.
