Sunday's Game Notes:
*The Ravens oft injured running back Willis McGahee rebounded in Week 7 with his first 100 yard rushing game of the season. McGahee finished the afternoon with 105 yards on the ground and added one rushing touchdown.

*Hoping to continue their winning ways, the upstart Rams surprised and ambushed the visiting Cowboys with a heavy dose of Steven Jackson. the Rams running back had a huge day rushing for over 150 yards and scoring three times in the team's win over Dallas.

*The Chargers wide receiver Malcom Floyd, getting a chance to start turned in a nice performance Sunday in the team's loss on the road. Floyd caught 4 passes for 65 yards and scored a touchdown. Floyd was starting in place of the injured Chris Chambers.

*The Dolphins found a bit of a spark on the offense from wide receiver Greg Camarillo. The Phin's receiver pulled in 6 passes on Sunday for 74 yards in the team's Week 7 loss to the Ravens.

*It came as little surprise to see the Titans having success on the ground against the Chiefs on Sunday, but few could hardly expect to see both LenDale White and Chris Johnson, each to run for more than 140 yards on the ground. The Titans won this one going away!

*The Bills quarterback Trent Edwards returned to form in Week 7 to lead the Bills to a big home win over the visiting Chargers. Edwards was knocked out of the team's week 5 contest with a concussion. Edwards passed for over 250 yards in the victory, his recovery appears full!

*The Saint's offense struggled on the road in Week 7, in particular quarterback Drew Brees. Brees passed for only 231 yards (his lowest total since week 2) and did not throw a single touchdown in the team's loss to the Panthers.

*No last minute miracles for Brett Favre and the Jets. Needing a fieldgoal to tie, Favre did bring the Jets back into position to get the tie, but in overtime it was Jamarcus Russell and company that sealed the deal. With 2:06 left in Overtime, Janikowski booted a 57 yard field goal to secure the win for the Raiders!
