The Buffalo Bills and the Miami Dolphins will face off today in a big game for Week 7 of the NFL regular season. This all-AFC East clash could go a long way to determining whether the Bills can keep touch with the division topping New England Patriots, but the Dolphins would like nothing better than to get one over on their long time rivals. The game takes place from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, with a start time of 1 p.m. ET. The game can be watched on TV on the CBS network or online through live stream via the link below.

The Bills come into Week 7 on 4-2 and are trying to keep up pressure on the Patriots who lead in the AFC East with a 5-1 record.

The Dolphins meanwhile are struggling on 2-4, and are only avoiding the basement spot in the division thanks to the lowly 1-5 New York Jets.

Last week the Bills secured an excellent victory over the San Francisco 49ers, demolishing the west coast team 45-16. Things were tight in the first half, but when the Bills turned the screw in the second half, the 49ers had no answer, with Buffalo winning the second half 28-3.

The Dolphins meanwhile, have been better than their record suggests this season, and they have been unlucky not to have converted more of their results into wins. However, they finally showed what they can do last week, defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers 30-15. That was only the Steelers' second loss of the season so far, showing that when the Dolphins get things right they can compete with the league's biggest teams.

However, Miami face another stern test today against a strong Bills team, and it would be an excellent result if they can get a win today.

Earlier in Week 7, NFL Thursday Night Football saw the Green Bay Packers claim what in the end was an easy win over the Chicago Bears.

Even though the 26-10 scoreline would indicate that the Packers had it all their own way, that was not the case, and through the opening three quarters just field goal separated the teams.

However, when things came to the crunch, the hapless Bears fell down again and disappointed. With just three points between the teams heading into the fourth quarter, Chicago fans may have been hoping their team could sneak the win at the end. But 13 unanswered points for the Packers saw Green Bay run out victors to move to 4-2.

That result condemned the Bears to their sixth defeat of the season so far as they dropped down further to 1-6, and this is already turning into a long and painful season for them.

Aaron Rodgers threw for 326 yards and three touchdowns. His 39 of 56 set a franchise record for completions in a single game.

The Bears meanwhile lost quarterback Brian Hoyer to a broken left arm in the second quarter, and so he joins the injured list with Jay Cutler, leaving Chicago to turn to third stringer Matt Barkley, who ended 6 of 15 for 81 yards and two interceptions.

Bears coach John Fox said, "Well, when you lose your starting quarterback it can be disruptive. It's not an excuse, it's just a reality,"
