The Oakland Raiders and the Jacksonville Jaguars will face off against one another on Sunday in an important Week 7 game. The clash will take place at EverBank Field in Jacksonville and has a scheduled 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 Raiders come into Week 7 sitting atop the AFC West. The Raiders are on 4-2, level with the Denver Broncos, and ahed of the 3-2 Kansas City Chiefs.
They will know they have to win today to keep up their push to compete for the division title. It's already a surprise that they have managed to displace the Broncos at the top of the table, but things could easily turn south if they don't continue to record wins.
A game against the likes of the Jacksonville Jaguars is certainly one they would expect to have to win if they are to claim the AFC West. The Jaguars are third in the AFC South, sitting with a 2-3 record behind the 3-3 Tennessee Titans and the 4-2 Houston Texans. The Indianapolis Colts are struggling badly this season and are lying in the basement of the AFC South wth a poor 2-4 record.
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,"
