The Falcons lost 20-10, another example of how difficult it is for them to win without a dominant performance from the star tailback.

A huge Monday Night Football doubleheader concluded NFL Week 7, as the Detroit Lions (5-2) took down the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-2) and the Seattle Seahawks (5-2) defeated the Houston Texans (2-4).

The Packers didn't lead until the final 2 minutes of the game.

The 49ers got Givens back at the perfect time, because the defensive front could use as many bodies as they can. CJ West has been the fourth man in the rotation, but he is playing with a cast and he is a rookie from day three who is looking like things are moving a bit too fast for him right now.

The NFL's Week 7 Monday Night Football slate is a doubleheader featuring two high-profile games.

The SNF prime-time game features the Green Bay Packers against Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Atlanta Falcons released wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud on Tuesday after the veteran opened the season as a starter but was inactive the last two games despite being healthy.

The San Francisco 49ers had one of their best rushing performances of the season on Sunday, but the exclamation point of the evening should not have counted. The Niners drove 60 yards down the field in the fourth quarter against the Falcons when Kyle Shanahan called for a right-side handoff to running back Christian McCaffrey.

On the biggest defensive play of the game, the Atlanta Falcons had a key piece missing: an 11th man on the field.

McCaffrey erupted for 201 total yards in Sunday's victory.
