Another fantastic week is in the books ahead of Monday Night Football. Most of the divisions are still up for grabs with plenty of football left to play. More crazy plays and end-of-game finishes were gifted to us by the football gods. Here is the roundup for Week 9 below!
Week 9 NFL Takeaways from Sunday Games
AFC South
Indianapolis Colts – A disaster game for Indianapolis in Pittsburgh. The Colts commit SIX turnovers, but somehow only lose by seven on the road as they fall to 7-2.
Tennessee Titans – The defense and special teams scored all of the points for Tennessee as the offense contributed zero points and resulted in a 27-20 loss to the Chargers.
Jacksonville Jaguars – The Jags go on the road and win in overtime against the Raiders. Jacksonville stuffed the Raiders’ two-point conversion to win it in overtime, and they go to 5-3
Houston Texans – QB C.J. Stroud was lost during the game to a concussion, but Stroud and backup quarterback Davis Mills could only lead drives that resulted in five field goals. It was almost enough, but Denver stole a win at the buzzer.
AFC North
Pittsburgh Steelers – The Steelers defense turned back into the Iron Curtain, racking up five sacks, three interceptions, and three fumble recoveries. The offense capitalized on the turnovers and grabbed a big win to get back in the win column.
Baltimore Ravens – Lamar Jackson returned and threw four touchdowns, with two of those scores going to his good buddy Mark Andrews. The defense forced three turnovers and held the Dolphins to just six points to secure a win and keep Pittsburgh within reach in the AFC North.
Cincinnati Bengals – In what was an insane last five minutes of the game, the Bengals once again could not get a defensive stop to secure a win. Joe Flacco threw for 470 yards and four touchdowns, but Flacco and the Bengals’ 42 points were still not enough as the season slips away for Cincinnati.
