The NFL Week 7 schedule takes the league international this Sunday, October 25. Twelve games make up the Sunday slate — opening with the first NFL regular-season game ever played in France as the Pittsburgh Steelers face the New Orleans Saints at Paris’ Stade de France, and closing with a heavyweight Sunday Night Football clash between the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs and the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field.

Week 7 opened on Thursday night with the New England Patriots visiting the Chicago Bears on Amazon Prime Video, and four teams — the Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Chargers and Washington Commanders — are on bye, according to the league’s full schedule. Here is the complete NFL Week 7 Sunday schedule, with kickoff times, TV channels and the biggest storylines of the day.

Paris opens the NFL Week 7 schedule: Steelers vs. Saints at Stade de France

Sunday starts in France, where the Steelers (3-2 entering Week 6) meet the Saints (1-4) at 9:30 a.m. ET — 2:30 p.m. local time — on NFL Network. The NFL has billed it as the first regular-season NFL game in France, and the league confirmed to ESPN that it will go ahead as scheduled.

Pittsburgh arrives with momentum behind 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers, who has thrown three touchdown passes in three straight games. But the Steelers are battered: receivers Ben Skowronek and Roman Wilson were ruled out in Week 6, Michael Pittman Jr. remains on injured reserve, and running back Rico Dowdle plus defensive backs Jamel Dean and Jalen Ramsey were limited in practice. USA Today notes Pittsburgh plays four of five games on the road around the Paris trip.

The Saints are desperate: 1-4 entering Week 6 after three straight losses by two or more scores, with owner Gayle Benson publicly rejecting the start as the team’s standard. A loss in Paris would leave their season teetering. For more on Pittsburgh’s battered roster, read our Steelers injury report breakdown.

Sunday Night Football: Chiefs at Seahawks

The nightcap is the game of the week on paper. The Chiefs entered Week 6 at 4-0, one of two unbeaten teams left, while the defending champion Seahawks fell to 3-3 after Thursday night’s 17-14 overtime loss to Denver — sealed by Wil Lutz’s 53-yard field goal, according to Reuters.

Seattle’s problem is quarterback Sam Darnold. He went 27-of-51 for 278 yards with two interceptions against Denver, and he leads the NFL with seven interceptions against seven touchdowns through five games, according to the New York Post. Head coach Mike Macdonald is publicly standing by him: “I think we have a lot of faith in Sam. I think he’s definitely part of the solution, rather than the opposite.” For our full breakdown of Thursday night, see our Seahawks vs. Broncos Thursday Night Football preview.

A road win at Lumen Field against a wounded champion would cement Kansas City as the clear Super Bowl favorite. A Seahawks win would pull Seattle back to .500 and shake up the NFC West.

Packers at Lions: an NFC North showdown in Detroit

The late-afternoon window’s best game is at Ford Field, where the Green Bay Packers (3-2 entering Week 6) visit the Detroit Lions (3-2) in an NFC North battle with first-place implications. The Lions are coming off their Week 6 bye and will be the fresher team; the Packers arrive from Sunday night’s home game against Dallas on October 18. Both teams entered Week 6 within striking distance in a division that also features the unbeaten 5-0 Minnesota Vikings, who host the Indianapolis Colts in the early window.

It is the kind of divisional game that decides tiebreakers in January.

Bengals at Ravens: the Lamar Jackson watch

Cincinnati (3-2) comes off its bye to face Baltimore (4-1 entering Week 6) in an AFC North rivalry game — and the entire matchup hinges on one ankle. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson sustained an ankle injury in the second half of Baltimore’s Week 4 win over Tennessee, was ruled out for the October 11 Sunday night game against Atlanta, and his status for Week 6 against Cleveland was unknown, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Ravens head coach Jesse Minter told reporters this week: “To Lamar’s credit, this dude’s working his tail off to get back.” Whether that gets Jackson on the field in Baltimore on October 25 remains unconfirmed — and it is the single biggest injury storyline of the NFL Week 7 schedule.

The Bengals looked sharp before the bye: Joe Burrow threw four touchdown passes in a 31-24 win over Miami, with Ja’Marr Chase hauling in a one-handed score, according to the New York Post.

49ers at Falcons headlines the early window

San Francisco entered Week 6 at 5-0 — the last unbeaten team in the NFC — and sat No. 1 in USA Today’s power rankings. The 49ers’ Week 7 record will be set Monday night, when they host Washington (8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN/ABC). If still perfect, the trip to Atlanta (2-3) becomes a trap game against a Falcons team that took Baltimore to overtime in Week 5.

Elsewhere at 1 p.m. ET: the surprising 3-1-1 Giants, alone atop the NFC East behind quarterback Jameis Winston, visit the 1-4 Texans; the 5-0 Vikings return from their bye to host the 2-3 Colts; the winless 0-5 Dolphins visit the 2-3 Jets; the 0-5 Titans host the 3-2 Browns; and the 2-2 Panthers host the 1-4 Buccaneers.

The 4:25 p.m. ET window also brings the Rams (2-3) to Las Vegas to face the 3-2 Raiders, while the 4:05 p.m. ET game sends the 4-2 Broncos to Arizona to face the 1-4 Cardinals. Denver’s trip comes with a quarterback controversy: after Bo Nix managed just 107 passing yards in the overtime win over Seattle, Prime Video analyst Ryan Fitzpatrick said on the postgame show, “Bo Nix is not playing competitively, it’s almost disrespectful to the quarterback position how he’s playing football,” according to USA Today. Former Broncos receiver Ed McCaffrey fired back on social media defending Nix’s effort.
