Rams Slip, Texans Rise in Week 7 NFL Power Rankings

Rams Slip, Texans Rise in Week 7 NFL Power Rankings

Analyst Nick Shook placed the San Francisco 49ers at the top of his Week 7 NFL power rankings on October 20, 2026, while the Los Angeles Rams fell sharply and the Houston Texans climbed after consecutive victories. The Rams' decline follows an 18-16 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on October 18, 2026, as reported by NBC News, and the Texans' rise reflects a 34-31 walk-off field-goal win in London, also noted by NBC News.

Earlier in the week, the Carolina Panthers defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 25-14 and the Cardinals upset the Rams, according to The Guardian. Week 6 rankings featured strong quarterback play and kept the 49ers atop, per FOX Sports, and analysts said the surge of standout performances sparked debate over media overreactions, according to Bleacher Report.
