The stories in week seven were the Texans rebounding from their lone loss of the season to pound the Ravens, the Saints getting just their second win of the season, and the Cowboys joining the other four teams that have found the recipe to humbling Cam Newton and the Panthers.
For former Bama players, four teams with Tide players were idle this week, leaving some of Bama’s top performers home for the weekend. Nevertheless, a few notables:
• Dont’a Hightower (NE) with 7 tackles and 1 sack.
• Mark Barron (TB) with 7 tackles
