NFL Week 9 Recap: 15 Games 15 Stories

Jets 21 - Texans 13

Davante Adams, Garrett Wilson, and Breece Hall were all HIM today, carrying the Jets to a dub and maybe—just maybe—giving this franchise a glimmer of hope. Texans couldn’t keep up with the big boys today.

Colts 13 - Vikings 21

Justin Jefferson back to cooking, while Joe Flacco looks like he’s forgotten what a football even is. Jonathan Taylor? No help here either. Vikings take this one while the Colts are left searching for a pulse.

Lions 24 - Packers 14

Jared Goff was on fire—four incompletions? That’s it? Dude might as well start a bonfire out there. The Lions’ RB core ran wild, stomping all over the Cheeseheads. Jordan Love had a solid day, but in the end, the Pack just couldn’t keep up.

Rams 26 - Seahawks 20

JSN went off for 180 yards and two TDs, but Geno was out there chucking picks like it’s a clearance sale—three, to be exact. Rams pull it off even with Puka Nakua ejected. Rams win it, and the Seahawks’ dreams go up in smoke.

Eagles 28 - Jaguars 23

Saquon Barkley took over this game like a damn cheat code—hurdling, juking, and dropping jaws on his way to 159 rushing yards. Eagles spoil the Jags' hopes in a close one, sending Jacksonville back to the drawing board.

Cardinals 29 - Bears 9

The Cards just straight-up embarrassed the Bears. Caleb Williams had a bad day while Chicago did...nothing. Only bright spot? Rome Odunze hitting 104 yards. Other than that, it was open season on the Bears’ defense.

Falcons 27 - Cowboys 21

Kirktober might be over, but Kirk Cousins is still shining bright in ATL. Bijan Robinson balled out, while Dak went down and now they look to Trey Lance to lead the cowboys. Cowboys might wanna brace for a rough ride.

Ravens 41 - Broncos 10

We all saw this coming. Ravens stomped in and dick-slapped the Broncos, with Lamar, Zay, and Derrick Henry taking turns in the spotlight. Denver had no answers, and frankly, no business being on that field.

Bills 30 - Dolphins 27

An absolute slugfest, going back and forth all game. Devon Achane popped off for 121 total yards and two TDs, but the Bills found a way to edge it out in the end. Buffalo’s got that “we’ll just win” energy.

Panthers 23 - Saints 22

Bryce Young pulled it off. Panthers somehow squeeze by the Saints in a nail-biter. Am I crazy for still having faith in this guy? Maybe, but for now, he got it done.

Bengals 41 - Raiders 24

The Bengals lit up the Raiders like a Christmas tree. Mike Gesicki went nuts with 100 yards and two TDs, while Vegas was left picking up the pieces. Bengals cruised, and the Raiders? Toast.

Chargers 27 - Browns 10

Jameis Winston had his usual rollercoaster game—hot and cold but mostly cold. Quentin Johnston went stupid, giving the Browns a rude reminder that they’re still a mess.

Commanders 27 - Giants 22

Jayden Daniels did it again. This kid’s out here making the Giants look like chumps, carrying the Commanders to victory and proving he’s got the goods. Giants defense? Better luck next time.

Patriots 17 - Titans 20

Mason Rudolph’s got the Titans’ back like he’s still in Pittsburgh, getting it done while Tony Pollard racks up the yards. Pats go down in a tight one, and Tennessee’s rolling on.

Chiefs 30 - Buccaneers 27

A true showdown: D-Hop with two touchdowns, Kelce with 100 yards. Chiefs snag the win and stay undefeated. Ain’t nobody stopping them…at least not yet.
