Here's what to look for during Week 7 of the NFL 2016 regular season.
[ Related: Week 7 NFL Preview ]
Gleeful Gronkowski
New England tight end ROB GRONKOWSKI had seven catches for 162 yards and a touchdown in last week's 35-17 win over Cincinnati.
Gronkowski, who has an NFL-best 66 receiving touchdowns since 2010, has 393 receptions in 84 career games. With seven receptions against Pittsburgh on Sunday, Gronkowski would tie KELLEN WINSLOW JR. as the third-fastest tight end in NFL history to reach 400 career receptions.

International Affair
The 2016 International Series continues in Week 7 with the Los Angeles Rams hosting the New York Giants at London's Twickenham Stadium (9:30 AM ET, NFLN). It will be the second of three games played in London this season and the first-ever NFL game at Twickenham. Next week, on Sunday, October 30, the Cincinnati Bengals will host the Washington Redskins at Wembley Stadium (9:30 AM ET, FOX).
The NFL will also return to Mexico City on Monday, November 21 (8:30 PM ET, ESPN) when the Oakland Raiders host the Houston Texans in the first-ever Monday Night Football game to be played outside the United States.
The International Series has seen some very close contests since its inception in 2007. In the first 15 games in London, eight have been decided by one score.
