After Week 7, the Cleveland Browns stay atop the AFC North and rise in the playoff race despite a gritty win over the Tennessee Titans, keeping their 2027 first‑round draft slot at 26th overall. Meanwhile, injury‑hit Los Angeles Rams fall to the 14th spot after a 3‑4 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. The draft order entering Week 8 shows the Rams at No. 14 and the Browns at No. 26, with the Chargers winless and the Vikings unbeaten.

After starting 3-0, the Las Vegas Raiders tumble to 3-4 following a 35-21 Week 7 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, pushing their playoff hopes toward the bottom of the AFC wild‑card race. The latest standings place them 10th, a game‑and‑a‑half behind the Bengals for the seventh seed and trailing the Patriots and Ravens, who hold the tiebreaker over Vegas. With a must‑win against the New York Jets next week, the Raiders face a de facto mid‑season elimination battle.
The Rams beat the Raiders 27-20, improving to 7‑3 but still needing about ten wins for a NFC wildcard. Despite missing key defenders like Myles Garrett and Poona Ford (out for the year), the defense limited Vegas to 42 rushing yards. Offensively, Matthew Stafford was efficient and the ground game thrived thanks to Blake Corum and Kyren Williams, while receiver depth remained a concern without Davante Adams or tight end Terrance Ferguson. Backup linebacker Shaun Dolac impressed, and reserve lineman Tyler Davis stepped up amid injuries. The next three matchups against the Chargers, Commanders and Cardinals are crucial for keeping playoff hopes alive.
The Las Vegas Raiders’ early‑season optimism fizzles after a 35‑21 home loss to an undermanned Los Angeles Rams on Oct. 26, 2026. The Rams surged to a 28‑6 halftime lead—the Raiders’ biggest half‑time deficit since 2015—and held on despite missing key players. Coach Klint Kubiak points to systemic issues: a defense that has allowed 170 points in five games, a run game that managed just 48 yards (Ashton Jeanty 15 yards on eight carries), and chronic red‑zone failures (3‑10 conversion in two games). While rookie running back Fernando Mendoza sparked quarterback talk and wideout Tre Tucker tied the NFL lead with four 40‑plus catches, the team must address both sides of the ball before facing the 2‑5 New York Jets next week.
The Los Angeles Rams cruised past the Las Vegas Raiders 35–21 in Week 7 on October 25, 2026. Rams outgained the Raiders, 413 total yards to 355.
The Rams halted a mid‑game slump to beat the Raiders 31‑21 on Oct. 25, snapping a 2‑5 slide and keeping playoff hopes alive. Matthew Stafford delivered a career‑best 79.3% completion rate (23‑29) for 195 yards, three TDs and one INT while taking only one sack. The ground game shone as Blake Corum (17 rushes, 93 yards, 1 TD) and Kyren Williams (16 rushes, 99 yards, 1 TD, 1 fumble) split the workload, backed by solid offensive‑line play. Tight ends Colby Parkinson (5 catches, 48 yards) and Davis Allen (4 catches, 2 TDs) helped offset Davante Adams’ absence, and the defense limited the Raiders’ late surge after a 28‑6 halftime lead. The win suggests the Rams may finally be finding the leadership and execution missing early this season.

Sean McVay shifts the offense, giving Kyren Williams and Blake Corum 33 carries for 192 yards, while the trio of tight ends reels in 11 catches, 82 yards and two scores.
