Week 7 of this NFL season is a trip down memory lane. Jon Gruden is facing Tampa Bay, the team he beat the Raiders with in Super Bowl XXXVII. Jimmy Garoppolo is playing in New England three years after the Patriots traded him to San Francisco. And Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is going up against the Saints after starting five games for them last season. But of all the memories, the first one to explore is a game that was supposed to happen three weeks ago: Titans vs. Steelers. Keep up with all of The Ringer’s Week 7 coverage here:
