Last week there were many loses across the league that came as a surprise to fans and analysts.

Losses happen, even to the best of teams. What's important is how a team responds to the loss and rebounds the following week.

Here are three teams who suffered losses last week that will rebound with a win in week seven action.

Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions saw their undefeated season come to an end at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers last weekend.

Despite all the talk being focused around the scuffle after the game, the game itself was quite a treat.

The Lions were obviously frustrated and angry about the loss. This week they will have the opportunity to turn things around.

The Lions match up well against an Atlanta team that has struggled to find any consistency this season.

Look for Megatron to have a huge game and carry the Lions to a win.

Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys may be one of the most underrated teams in the league this season.

They have had a difficult 2-3 start, but they have had one of the most difficult schedules in the league.

The three losses the Cowboys suffered came to teams with combined records of 15-3. They lost those games by a combined total of 11 points.

This weekend they face off against a winless St. Louis team missing their starting quarterback.

Look for Dallas to get back to a .500 record.

New Orleans Saints

Prior to last week, the Saints were considered one of the top five teams in the league.

After a shocking loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers many are questioning whether or not this team is for real.

Much like the Cowboys, they have an easy opponent to rebound against this week to get things back on track.

There are many who consider the Indianapolis Colts the worst team in the league without Peyton Manning under center.

We'll see just how bad they are when they travel to New Orleans this weekend.
