Our best and worst from NFL Week 7:

Comeback of the Week: Broncos 18, Dolphins 15. For the first 54 minutes, Tim Tebow couldn’t do anything right. For the last six minutes, he could do no wrong. Tebow rallies the Broncos with two TD passes to stun the winless Dolphins at home. He also scored the two-point conversion to tie it by running a quarterback draw that everyone in the stadium knew was coming … except for the Miami defense. Miami lost for the 12th time in their last 13 home games.
Rookie of the week: DeMarco Murray, Cowboys. Filling in for the injury-depleted Cowboys, Murray rushed for a franchise best 253 yards in the Cowboys’ 34-7 win over the Rams.
Game of the week: Jets 27, Chargers 21. Jets rally from 11 points down to beat the Chargers thanks to Mark Sanchez’s three TD passes to Plaxico Burress and another huge INT return by Darrelle Revis.
• Game of the weak: Browns 6, Seahawks 3. Three field goals by two teams over 60 minutes. In a word: yuck!
• Slump of the week: Lions. After getting off to a 5-0 start, Detroit has now lost two in a row at home. A week after losing an emotional game to the 49ers, which was followed by the coaches’ handshake that nearly led to a brawl, the Lions lose at home to Matt Ryan and the Falcons 23-16. Fortunately, it appears a knee injury suffered by Lions QB Matthew Stafford doesn’t appear to be serious.

* Jet of the week: Plaxico Burress, WR. He had just two TDs in his first six games, but had three in Sunday's win over the Chargers. All of the red zone variety, just what the Jets like.
