The NFL season reaches its halfway point with Week 9 action.
The Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills will face off in a highly anticipated rivalry game.
Week 9 concludes with the Cardinals and Cowboys playing on Monday night.
The 2025 NFL season reaches its halfway point this weekend, which will feature one of the league’s preeminent rivalries.
Before we get there, the Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins will kick off Week 9 on Thursday night − two-time league MVP and South Florida native Lamar Jackson set to make his return to action after missing a month with a hamstring injury.
Sunday’s best game on paper appears to be the Indianapolis Colts’ visit to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the weekend’s lone matchup of division leaders.
However it’s a meeting of second-place squads that will garner the most attention, when the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills engage in what should be another spirited battle in Western New York on Sunday afternoon. The Bills have won four straight over K.C. in the regular season.
The action wraps in prime time, the Seattle Seahawks and Washington Commanders meeting outside the nation’s capital on ‘Sunday Night Football’ before the Arizona Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys face off on Monday night.
