The Bears’ 5‑2 win over the Patriots on Oct. 22 sparks a deep dive into Week 7 PFN Impact Scores. Rookie QB Caleb Williams posts an 81.6 grade (8th among 26 QBs), matching the league’s second‑best passing yards (308) and ranking high in EPA and CPOE. Wideout Luther Burden III shines with a perfect 100.0 efficiency grade and league‑leading 3.19 EPA per target. Offensive tackle Darnell Wright earns elite marks in both run‑ and pass‑blocking. Defensively, linebacker D’Marco Jackson stands out at 84.8, while most starters lag, with several allowing passer ratings over 100. Kicker Cairo Santos and punter Tory Taylor rank in the top‑ten at their positions after key kicks and a 44‑yard net punt.
The Seattle Seahawks' 2024 third‑round pick Christian Haynes, the 81st overall guard from UConn, is claimed off waivers by the Baltimore Ravens on October 28, 2026.

The Ravens, seeking offensive line depth, add Haynes to their roster, while Seattle reshuffles its line with Grey Zabel, Josh Jones, Beau Stephens, Bradford and Nelson ahead of a Monday night clash with the Chicago Bears.

The 2026 World Series sees the Brewers dominating early, jumping to a 3-0 lead thanks to Cooper Pratt’s 12th‑inning solo homer at American Family Field. Yet the Rays reignited the series when Junior Caminero’s error‑filled run and Jonny DeLuca’s single sparked a comeback, tying Game 4 and forcing a Game 5. While history shows only the 2004 Red Sox have ever erased a 3‑0 deficit in a best‑of‑seven, the article highlights the slim odds and parallels rare sports upsets, from March Madness 16‑seed wins to the Cubs’ 1969 collapse. Brewers remain favorites, but the Rays’ rally keeps the Fall Classic intriguingly alive.

Seattle’s defense tops the NFL, allowing just 233 yards per game, while the Bears rank 18th in pass defense and have seen cornerback Jaylon Johnson struggle.
