Alabama Football in the NFL Week 7: What to Watch
Henry vs the Chiefs
Derrick Henry continues to role having collected 783 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns through the first six games of the season. The NFL’s leading rusher now has a matchup at home against a Chiefs defense that has struggled this season.
Tua returns to Miami
After making his return to the field during the Dolphins Week 6 game in London, Tua will take the field once again in Miami on Sunday afternoon against the Falcons. Will Tua and the Dolphins pull off the win, or with Calvin Ridley and the Falcons pick up a big win coming off a bye?
Crimson Tide in Las Vegas
You will arguably find no other game during the NFL Week 7 slate that will feature more former Crimson Tide stars than the Raiders hosting the Eagles on Sunday afternoon. This showdown will feature many known names including Hurts, Smith, Dickerson, Ruggs, Jacobs, and Drake.
