Kansas City and San Francisco both lost in Week 7, leaving Minnesota as the only team in the NFL with a perfect record.
Week seven of the NFL season has left one team with a spotless record. The Minnesota Vikings are the league's last unbeaten side after two of the biggest names in football went down on the same weekend.
The Kansas City Chiefs, long the benchmark for consistency in the league, took a loss that dents their push for another top playoff seed. The San Francisco 49ers, another perennial contender, also fell short, adding to a week of upheaval among the sport's heavyweights.
Those two results put the Vikings in the spotlight. Minnesota is now the only team with a perfect mark, and every opponent from here on will be eyeing the chance to be the one that ends it.
The pressure now shifts to the Vikings. Staying unbeaten gets harder as the schedule tightens and defenses collect more film on them, and Chiefs and 49ers fans will be watching to see how quickly their teams respond. The race for the top seeds is wide open, and the weeks ahead should be fascinating.
