Rodgers' best game, Russ' pick-six and more: Barnwell on a weird Week 7 (Marvin Jones scores four touchdowns: Three receivers in the Super Bowl era have caught four or more touchdowns in multiple games. One is Jerry Rice. The second is Sterling Sharpe. One Hall of Famer and a guy who would be in the Hall of Fame if it weren't for a career-ending neck injury. You can probably guess who the third is: Jones, who scored four touchdowns in a 49-9 Bengals win over the Jets in 2013 and then repeated the feat during Sunday's 42-30 loss to the Vikings. As you might suspect, receivers don't typically score four touchdowns in games their teams lose. Previously, receivers were a combined 34-3 in those four-plus touchdown games. Jones also became the first player in league history to score four receiving touchdowns in a game in which he didn't rack up at least 100 receiving yards, as he caught 10 of his 13 targets for 93 yards. His scores came from 2, 3, 10 and 16 yards out. The Vikings have pretty good cornerbacks, and Jones beat them all at different points Sunday. Mike Zimmer either didn't have enough confidence in those corners to press Jones at the line or thought they would eventually get better, but Jones was repeatedly able to use his release to create throwing lanes for Matthew Stafford. On the third touchdown of the first half, he was able to shake Mike Hughes with his first step and establish inside leverage for what needed to be an instant throw with six seconds left on the clock. The most flamboyant score of the day was against Trae Waynes, whom Jones beat with a spin move before turning upfield for the first touchdown. His two touchdowns against top corner Xavier Rhodes, meanwhile, were almost identical throws from Stafford on the near-hashmark. The first was a quick out, while the second and final touchdown of the day was a back-shoulder throw. Both throws rely on Stafford's velocity and require him to place the ball in a spot where only Jones can catch it. Sunday was a rough day for the Lions, as they lost the game to the Vikings while Kerryon Johnson, Damon Harrison and Darius Slay all left the game with injuries. Johnson and Slay were unable to return. Detroit is on a three-game losing streak, but that has included a last-second loss to the Chiefs, a controversial 23-22 loss to the Packers and Sunday's shootout loss to the Vikings. Matt Patricia's team probably deserved to win at least one of those games. Instead, it is 2-3-1 and way back in the NFC North behind the 6-1 Packers. With the Giants, Raiders and Bears coming up, the Lions probably need to go on a winning streak to get back into playoff contention.): https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/27891507/rodgers-best-game-russ-pick-six-more-barnwell-weird-week-7

Week 7 surprises: Enter Edmonds (8. Matthew Stafford becomes fastest player to reach 40K passing yards: Stafford made history in Week 7 by throwing for 364 passing yards and becoming the fastest player to reach 40,000 passing yards in NFL history. Stafford got there in just 147 games. For comparison's sake, it took Drew Brees, Dan Marion, and Peyton Manning 152, 153, and 154 games, respectively, to reach the 40K mark. It was a banner day for Stafford, who also threw for four passing touchdowns. In doing so, Stafford passed Boomer Esiason and Tony Romo to move up to No. 22 overall on the all-time passing touchdowns list with 250 in his career. Stafford is one of the most underrated quarterbacks through Week 7 of the 2019 season.): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/10-biggest-week-7-surprises-milestones-chase-edmonds-arrives-aaron-rodgers-passes-dan-marino/
