Week 7 of the 2022 NFL Season started with an incredible game between the Arizona Cardinals and New Orleans Saints at the University of Phoenix Stadium on Friday Night. The Cardinals defeated 42-34 to win their third game of the season but remain at the bottom of the NFC West division. 

On Sunday, there were some surprising defeats for top-rated teams like Tampa Bay Buccaneers who rely on their tight ends for blocking the opposition’s defenders and then go into open spaces for catching the ball or run plays for their wide receivers.

Let’s look at the top tight ends from Week 7:
