The Athletic has live coverage from NFL Week 7 games.

Pressure has started to mount across the NFL.

Last week, we saw the first in-season coach firing as the Tennessee Titans let go of Brian Callahan, and the ice could be getting thin in Miami.

Meanwhile, front-runners like the Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills both suffered their second consecutive losses after 4-0 starts. And teams like the Denver Broncos and Chicago Bears (both winners of three straight) seem to be surging.

This week’s action kicked off with an AFC North meeting between the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers. Sunday morning will feature the final London-based contest of the season — this time between the Los Angeles Rams and Jacksonville Jaguars.

Another 11 contests take place later on Sunday, before the weekend wraps with a Monday night doubleheader between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Detroit Lions, and the Houston Texans and Seattle Seahawks.

Here are five of the most compelling storylines to follow this week.

Champs in crisis

There’s trouble in the City of Brotherly Love. The Eagles fell last week to the New York Giants in a stunner, marking the first time they suffered back-to-back regular-season losses since the final two weeks of the 2023 season. Now the 4-2 Eagles will try to avoid their first three-game losing streak since that same 2023 campaign. Philadelphia will head to Minnesota, where the Vikings come off their bye week. A tough Brian Flores defense awaits an Eagles offense that looks like a shell of itself, ranking 30th in total offense, 25th in rushing, 29th in passing and 15th in points.
