The Week 7 of the 2015 National Football League (NFL) regular season kicks off today, Thursday, and features the matchup of two struggling teams in the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers. 

Seattle just suffered another defeat in Week 6 falling to the undefeated Carolina Panthers having the same late game meltdown like they did in Week 5 to another unbeaten team in the Cincinnati Bengals. 

Meanwhile the 49ers are just coming of their second win of the season defeating the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday to have momentum heading to their game against the Seahawks this Thursday. 

Week 7 continues on Sunday with 24 teams in action with the undefeated squads also putting their streaks to the test. 

A previously undefeated team will look to return on the winning track as the Atlanta Falcons, who are 5–1 after suffering their first defeat last Thursday against the New Orleans Saints, will take on the Tennessee Titans who are uncertain if star rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota will be playing due to a knee injury. 

The Houston Texans will also play on Sunday, taking on the Miami Dolphins which will see how the team will be faring after choosing to return to veteran Brian Hoyer as their starting quarterback moving forward. 

Unbeaten teams like the defending Super Bowl champions New England Patriots and Panthers will put their winning streaks on the line this Sunday.

The Pats are coming off a win over last season's American Football Conference (AFC) championship opponents the Indianapolis Colts and will take on the New York Jets, while the Panthers handed the Seahawks their second consecutive loss and will face the Philadelphia Eagles. 

Week 7 of the NFL regular season will close with the matchup between the struggling Baltimore Ravens who only have one win this season facing the Arizona Cardinals on Monday, Oct. 26.
