Week 7 of the 2021 NFL season is here in bulk, and as is the case every week, Touchdown Wire's Doug Farrar and Mark Schofield are here with stats and tape notes to break it all down. Among the topics discussed this week:


Why Trevor Lawrence is much, much, much better than you may think;


Why the Bills' problems with Derrick Henry were more about an MVP running back than a serious backslide from a great defense;


Why the Browns might be in trouble against the Broncos on Thursday night even if everybody on the roster wasn't injured;


Why Aaron Rodgers has a deep-ball problem all of a sudden, and how even the Washington Football Team might be able to exploit it;


Why Patrick Mahomes both does and does not have problems against two-high coverage;


How the Dolphins turned from allegedly sneaky playoff contender into the NFL's most disappointing team;


What Zach Wilson can do against the Patriots to avoid a re-run of the worst day any rookie quarterback has ever had against a Bill Belichick defense;


Why Marlon Humphrey doesn't get the credit he deserves, and why his matchups against Ja'Marr Chase will be must-see TV;


How the Raiders have developed a big-play perpetual motion machine;


Why the Lions don't even have a halfway decent bridge quarterback in Jared Goff (bad time for a "revenge game" against the Rams);


How the Bears can use Justin Fields as a runner to poke holes in Tampa Bay's usually impossible run defense;


Whether Carson Wentz is really all the way back; and...


Why the Seahawks' defense might look better than it actually is for the second straight game.
