The Green Bay Packers survived a mild scare to stay unbeaten, while the Miami Dolphins and St. Louis Rams remained winless thanks to two potential new stars in Denver and Dallas. Here is the recap of the week seven action in the NFL:
Denver 18 – Miami 15 (OT)
After Tim Tebow led the Broncos to 15 points in the final 2:44 of regulation to tie the game, Denver beat the Miami Dolphins 18-15 on Matt Prater’s 52-yard field goal in overtime

October 17, 2011 New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton underwent successful surgery this morning to repair his left tibial plateau fracture and lateral meniscal tear. Payton broke his knee and tibia and tore his MCL when tight end Jimmy Graham collided with him on the sidelines early in yesterday's loss at Tampa Bay.
Two head coaches fought, while another was injured during a game, as week six of the 2011 NFL season left just the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers as the lone unbeaten team in the league.
October 14, 2011 A big reason why the New Orleans Saints have won four straight games, and are 4-1 on the year, is because of their ability to perfrom during crunch time.
The Saints not only lead the league in third down conversions, but they also have two come-from-behind wins to their credit, this year.

October 2, 2011 The New Orleans Saints captured their third-consecutive victory on Sunday, defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars, 23-10, in Jacksonville, Florida.
Quarterback Drew Brees led the way for the Saints, completing 31 of 44 passes, for 351 yards, and a touchdown, while tight end Jimmy Grahama caught ten Brees passes, for 132 yards, and a touchdown.
September 28, 2011 The New Orleans won their second consecutive game on Sunday, downing the Houston Texans, 40-33, at the Louisiana Superdome.
Quarterback Drew Brees led the way for the Saints, completing 31 of 44 passes, for 370 yards, and three touchdowns, whil tight end Jimmy Graham caught four passes, for 100 yards, and a touchdown.
September 26, 2011 Despite giving up 40 points, 454 yards, and 3 straight touchdown scoring drives in the 4th quarter, the Houston Texans defense refused to acknowledge the dominant nature of the New Orleans Saints offense. Texans safety Glover Quin quipped, "We just didn't make plays that we needed to make. It wasn't like they're something special." Other members of the Texans secondary agreed. If the Saints offense is "nothing special," wouldn't that make the performance of Houston's secondary even more dire than what they showed on Sunday?
