CNN — Week 9 of the NFL season kicked off on Thursday with an exciting victory for the Pittsburgh Steelers over the Tennessee Titans. The action continues throughout the weekend with a slate of highly anticipated matchups across the league. From the Miami Dolphins facing off against the Kansas City Chiefs in Germany to the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles going head to head, there is no shortage of excitement in Week 9 of the 2023 season. Here’s what you need to know.
The NFL’s International Series continues this weekend with the Miami Dolphins taking on the Kansas City Chiefs in Frankfurt, Germany. This AFC heavyweight matchup is the fourth of five international games this season, with the series wrapping up next week when the Indianapolis Colts take on the New England Patriots. The Chiefs are looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss to the Indianapolis Colts last week. Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes had a rough game, but he’s feeling better and ready to play on Sunday. The Dolphins, on the other hand, are off to a great start this season and looking to improve their record to 7-2.
In the NFC, the Philadelphia Eagles currently hold the No.1 overall seed. The highlight game of the weekend features the Cowboys and the Eagles, two legitimate Super Bowl contenders. Both teams have strong defenses and offenses, making this a must-watch matchup. While it’s still early in the season, this game could have playoff implications for the NFC East rivals. With only one team able to win the division and secure the top seed in the conference, this game is crucial for both teams’ Super Bowl hopes.
To close out Sunday’s action, the Buffalo Bills take on the Cincinnati Bengals. Both teams are top contenders in the AFC and have a history with each other. Last season, the Bengals ended the Bills’ playoff run with a heartbreaking defeat. Although the stakes aren’t as high this time around, a win for either team would provide valuable momentum for the rest of the season. Buffalo comes into the matchup with a rest advantage after their Thursday Night Football win over the Buccaneers, and quarterback Josh Allen is leading the league in total touchdowns. The Bengals, despite their recent winning streak, are at the bottom of the highly competitive AFC North.
