Baker Mayfield has a chance to return for Sunday's game against the Panthers after missing three games with a dislocated right thumb
Cornerback Jalen Ramsey is not known as a pass rusher, but that aspect of his game came up big for the Steelers in Week 7. Ramsey recorded a pair of sacks against the Buccaneers, including one that sealed Pittsburgh’s 26-19 comeback win. Ramsey dropped Bucs quarterback Jalon Daniels on a fourth down in overtime to kill Tampa’s final chance to keep the game going. Ramsey had 10 tackles and four tackles for loss over the entire afternoon. The NFL named him the AFC defensive payer of the week on Wednesday. It’s the third time that Ramsey has taken those honors and the first time since he joined the Steelers ahead of the 2025 season
Chris Godwin Jr. has been underperforming as a fantasy option this season
No one wants to win the 2026 NFC East division. Seriously. After Weeks 5 and 6, this season's NFC East is now the first division in NFL history with consecutive winless weeks with four-plus games played, per CBS Sports Research. The division's four teams are a combined 0-6-2 since Week 5. In Week 5, the Dallas Cowboys (2-4) lost 24-16 at home on "Thursday Night Football" to the previously winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with Jalon Daniels , an undrafted rookie quarterback, making his second career start. In Week 6, their offense looked lifeless in a 23-13 road loss at the Green Bay Packers on "Sunday Night Football." Dallas also has the NFL's 30th-ranked total defense (382.5 yards allowed per game), last-place run defense (149.8 yards allowed per game), and last-place third-down defense (54.7% third-down conversion rate allowed). The Packers entered Week 6 as the NFL's worst third-down offense with a conversion rate of 27.6%, but they went 11-for-18 on third downs Sunday night. The two-time defending division champion Philadelphia Eagles have the least embarrassing losses of the last two weeks: a 19-17 defeat to the AFC South-leading Jaguars despite kicking a go-ahead field goal with eight seconds left, and a 25-14 home defeat to the NFC South-leading Panthers . People faulted coach Nick Sirianni for having the kickoff go in bounds to drain time off the clock in Week 5. The Jaguars returned the kick 53 yards to the Eagles' 39, which set up the game-winning 57-yard field goal for Jacksonville. In Week 6, Philadelphia's Saquon Barkley-less offense wasn't enough to elevate 2023 sixth-round pick quarterback Tanner McKee , even with the return of No. 1 wide receiver DeVonta Smith , in a 25-14 home loss against the NFC South-leading Carolina Panthers. The NFC East-leading New York Giants (3-2-1) tied 27-27 against the last-place Washington Commanders (1-4-1) even though both teams reached field-goal range in the last two minutes of overtime. In Week 6, they trailed by nearly as many as 24 points (34-10) against a New Orleans Saints squad that used the Giants to snap a three-game losing streak in a 34-27 victory. New York is without quarterback Jaxson Dart and All-Pro edge rusher Brian Burns for the year because of season-ending knee injuries. They currently have a quarterback controversy between Jameis Winston , who ranks second-to-last in completion percentage (57%) in the entire league, and J.J. McCarthy , the quarterback who ranked dead last in the NFL in completion percentage (58%), touchdown-to-interception ratio (11-12) and passer rating (72.6) in 2025. Washington had chances to upset the 6-0 San Francisco 49ers in their 23-17 "Monday Night Football" road loss, but they couldn't finish the job late. Somehow, the Cowboys (+130) are the betting favorites to win the NFC East entering Week 7, per DraftKings Sportsbook. The Giants (+154), Commanders (+600) and the Eagles (+700) are how the rest of the odds shake out at this moment in time. Vegas appears out on the Eagles with quarterback Jalen Hurts sidelined by blood clots , but if the last two weeks are any indication, none of the four teams are truly out of the hunt just yet
Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield missed his third straight game on Sunday, but the team is hoping that his absence from the lineup will be ending soon. Mayfield’s dislocated right thumb has also kept him off of the practice field since he was injured in Week 3, but he tested his ability to throw the ball last week and head coach Todd Bowles said at a Monday press conference that the current plan is for Mayfield to be involved in practice this week. “He’s supposed to practice Wednesday,” Bowles said. “We’re gonna take a good look at him there, and we’ll kind of evaluate him during the week and see how he does.” Jalon Daniels has started while Mayfield has been on the bench and the Bucs have gone 1-2 in those games. Bowles said the team will construct a game plan that takes into account the uncertainty about who will start in Carolina. “I think you have to,” Bowles said. “Both will be in the meetings, obviously. Both will be in the meetings and we’ll see how the week goes before we decide who it is. Daniels was 22-of-43 for 164 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday’s overtime loss to the Steelers

Both teams played the Jalon Daniels Bucs in the last two weeks, with Green Bay winning on the road and Dallas losing at home. The Packers' offensive line seems to be coming together, helping the offense to its best game of the year last week, and the defense has allowed more than 300 yards just once.

The Bucs lead the Steelers 13-3 at halftime, with the Steelers struggling to gain momentum
Jalon Daniels is proving last week’s victory over the Cowboys wasn’t a fluke. Daniels has completed 8 of 11 passes for 55 yards and a touchdown. His 2-yard toss to Emeka Egbuka has the Bucs holding a 10-0 lead against the Steelers. The Bucs used A’Shawn Robinson’s interception of Aaron Rodgers on a pinball pass that was batted around for a six-play, 14-yard drive for a 43-yard field goal by Chase McLaughlin. They went eight plays and 60 yards on their next drive. Steelers cornerback Daylen Everette was called for a 22-yard pass interference penalty that set up the Bucs at the Pittsburgh 24. Chris Godwin has three catches for 28 yards. The Steelers have two punts, an interception and turned it over on downs in their four drives. They have 50 yards, with Rodgers going 4-of-8 for 17 yards and a pick

Tamapa Bay's road victory over the Dallas Cowboys was impressive but also a reflection of the sheer level of disfunction in Dallas right now. The win will provide confidence for rookie backup quarterback Jalon Daniels , but the Buccaneers are still a team with major deficiencies and an undrafted rookie under center. A Pittsburgh win is 57% at Polymarket, while a Tampa Bay victory is 44%. Trade on Polymarket with the promo code CBSSPORTS and get a $25 trading bonus: The Pittsburgh offense has been just a touch below middling. The Bucs actually enter Sunday seventh in the NFL in total defense, so if that unit can get stops against the Rodgers-led Steelers, Daniels can have a fighting chance to win a low-scoring contest. Trade on Polymarket with the promo code CBSSPORTS and get a $25 trading bonus: The market is pretty torn here. A defensive slog of a game could easily come down to a field goal margin of victory, but for which team -- the ostensibly better Steelers, or the home Buccaneers?

The Steelers and Buccaneers combining to score 40 or more points on Sunday is trading at 50% on Polymarket. The game ending with 39 points or fewer is 51%.
