[Seven Straight, and Then What?](https://theprecedentmedia.com/seven-straight-and-then-what/) · Precedent Notes A short Precedent Notes piece on Manchester City's seven-win start and what happened to the other teams that opened a Premier League season that way. ## Sunday's top five 1. **Minnesota's perfect start is over.** The Vikings, first in The Precedent's Rating yesterday, lost 19-15 at Detroit. Minnesota went ahead in the fourth quarter, and Jared Goff answered with a 7-yard touchdown pass to Jameson Williams with 4:35 left. Detroit jumped from 12th to fifth. Minnesota is 6-1 and fourth, and the NFL has no unbeaten team left. 2. **Denver is the NFL's new No. 1.** The Broncos trailed Kansas City by 11 entering the fourth quarter, scored 15 points in it and won 28-24\. Denver moved up from second. Its own win counted, and so did wins by Jacksonville, the LA Rams and Arizona, three teams it had already played. 3. **Arsenal won at Anfield.** Kai Havertz scored in the 16th minute from a Declan Rice cross, and Arsenal held on to beat Liverpool 1-0\. It was the Gunners' first league win at Anfield in 14 years. Arsenal is 8-0-1 and still No. 1 in The Precedent's Rating. 4. **Edmonton is first in the NHL.** The Oilers won 4-1 at the NY Rangers and moved from third to first. Washington, No. 1 yesterday, lost 5-1 at home to Minnesota, and Utah, second yesterday, lost 6-3 at Philadelphia, the 31st-ranked team. Travis Konecny had a goal and an assist for the Flyers in his return to the lineup. 5. **Nashville came back from two goals down.** Red Bull New York led 2-0 before Nashville pulled even, and Sam Surridge headed in the winner in the first minute of stoppage time for a 3-2 win. Nashville is 22-8-3 and stays first in MLS by The Precedent's Rating. ## NFL ### Chart of the Day ![Detroit climbed 7 spots.

The Bills beat Baltimore 36-10 and climbed from seventh to second. Four of the teams they had already played won yesterday, and the winning percentage of their schedule rose from .400 to .453\. San Francisco moved up to third without playing. Chicago, also idle, had the biggest fall, from third to ninth. Four of the five teams the Bears have played lost yesterday.
