 After a wild slate of games, results, and performances, let’s get hyperbolic with overreactions to all of the NFL Week 7 action

NFL Week 7 is in the books and everything happened. There are no more undefeated teams left in the NFL, the Cleveland Browns still haven’t won a game, and the marquee matchup of the week ended with 12 total points and no winner. Welcome to the calamity that is the 2016 NFL season.

More so than in most seasons, it feels like it’s impossible to grasp what’s happening with the majority of the teams around the league. Just last week, I dubbed the Buffalo Bills Super Bowl contenders. And while that was an overreaction and meant to be overstating the fact, they still had no business losing to the Miami Dolphins. But it happened in Week 7.

With this kind of season, though, things open up for immense knee-jerk reactions. It’s incredibly easy to look at one week and simply freak out about what happened. So naturally, that’s what we’re going to do on a week-to-week basis. With all of the hyperbole and freaking out possible, we’ll overreact in the biggest ways possible.

Here are the overreactions to NFL Week 7.
