The San Diego Chargers and the Atlanta Falcons will meet at the Georgia Dome on Sunday as Week 7 of the NFL 2016 regular season continues. This will be one of three late afternoon starts today, and this one could go either way. The game has a scheduled start time of 4.05 p.m. ET and takes place in Atalanta. The game can be watched on TV on the Fox network or online through live stream via the link below.

The Atlanta Falcons come into today's game sitting atop the NFC South division, and they have a comfortable gap from their division rivals as well.

The Falcons have made good progress this year so far, and come into today's clash with a 4-2 record. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New Orleans Saints are tied for second spot in the NFC South, but both have negative 2-3 records, and the Carolina Panthers are in the basement with a shocking 1-5 record.

That means if the Falcons can push on over the coming month they could potentially secure their postseason spot early, which will take the pressure off of them and allow them to prepare earlier than other teams for Playoffs football. Although it is still too early to think that far ahead too much.

Atlanta must deal with the problem at hand, and today that mans taking on the San Diego Chargers. The Chargers are at the bottom of the AFC West with a poor 2-4 record and they desperately need to win today to first try and get back to an even record. If they can do that over the coming few weeks then they still have a chance of competing for the postseason.

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,"
