To start Week 7, two teams are off on their bye weeks: the intriguing Chicago Bears and struggling Dallas Cowboys. Thursday Night Football will kick off the week in New Orleans, as the Saints will welcome back former head coach Sean Payton, who is now in charge of the Denver Broncos.

No. The Bears do not play today or this week for that matter. They are on a bye week after having won their last three games. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams is improving seemingly every game, having thrown for 687 yards and seven touchdowns during the current win streak.

Week 7 will be here in a matter of days as the Denver Broncos and New Orleans Saints get things started with a Thursday night tilt. Sunday's slate features yet another Jacksonville Jaguars experience in London and touts an incredible group of early kicks. Another Monday Night Football doubleheader closes things out.

Then there are seven games in the early NFL game window, including the Houston Texans at Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings. There are three games in the late window, including the Las Vegas Raiders at Los Angeles Rams and the Kansas City Chiefs at San Francisco 49ers.
