Week 9 of the NFL season continues Sunday with a full slate of matchups, and we’ve got you covered with all the action.
The Kansas City Chiefs kicked things off by beating the Miami Dolphins in Germany in what was a clash between AFC titans and the fourth of five international games slated for the 2023 season — and first contest all-time in Frankfurt.
C.J. Stroud strengthened his Rookie of the Year case with 470 yards and 5 TD in the Texans’ win over Tampa Bay, setting the NFL single-game rookie record.
The afternoon slate was highlighted by one of the games of the year as the Philadelphia Eagles edged the Dallas Cowboys on FOX. The Cincinnati Bengals continued their winning against AFC-rival Buffalo to close things out on Sunday Night Football.
Here are the highlights!
FINAL: Cincinnati Bengals 24, Buffalo Bills 18
Perfect opening drive
No biggie, just more excellence from Joe Burrow. He went six-of-six for 65 yards on his opening drive, capping it with this dot to Irv Smith Jr.
Allen answers!
Buffalo had an effortless response for Cincy, as Josh Allen completed five of six passes for 83 yards before freezing a Bengals defender on this nifty fake and waltzing into the end zone.
Mixon’s turn
It was touchdowns galore in the first quarter, as Cincy responded with an 11-play, 69-yard drive to take a 14-7 lead.
Ruling the jungle
The Bengals got another great chance to make something happen in plus territory when Cam Taylor-Britt went sky-high to pick off Allen.
Paint the zone red
The Bengals continued to make it look easy near the second quarter’s close, as Burrow tossed the second TD of the night over the middle.
Big turnover!
Cincinnati got aggressive late in the third, and Buffalo’s defense countered in a big way, stifling the Bengals’ fourth-down attempt to regain possession.
Lost it!
On a drive that looked incredibly promising for Buffalo, Nick Scott came up with a pivotal play to force this fumble, and scoop it up.
Look for Diggs!
Josh Allen. Stefon Diggs. Like clockwork. The two helped Buffalo come with a TD on this nice pitch-and-catch. They hooked up again to convert the two-point conversion.
Mixon ’em up
Beat Von Miller one-on-one. That was Joe Mixon’s task to win the game for Cincinnati, and he accepted it with grace, hitting the future Hall of Famer with a tough juke move to seal it for his squad.
FINAL: Philadelphia Eagles 28, Dallas Cowboys 23
Soaring in
After Dallas went three-and-out to open the game, Philadelphia put together a 13-play touchdown drive, ending with Kenneth Gainwell running in a 12-yard score.
Cowboys respond
On the eighth play of the ensuing drive, Dak Prescott hit tight end Jake Ferguson, who got into the end zone for a 4-yard score.
Lead change!
Dallas took the lead in the second quarter (just the second time a lead has changed in a Cowboys game all season) when Prescott found former USFL MVP KaVontae Turpin in the end zone on the zig route.
Tush push!
You know what to expect when it comes to the Eagles and short-yard situations, and they went back to their bread and butter to tie things at 14 in the second.
Hurts slow to get up
As the Eagles pushed for a score before halftime, Jalen Hurts came up gimping after taking a hit to his knee from Demarcus Lawrence.
Trading TDs
Philly kept the scoring trend going, as Hurts showed he was okay on this deep shot to DeVonta Smith to put the Eagles up 21-17 up.
Brown again!
A.J. Brown has been making big plays all season. And he got into the end zone for the first time late in the third quarter on this clever play design, extending the Eagles’ lead to 11.
