Sunday NFL Football: Week 9 early games thread

No more London games for the rest of the NFL season, which means we’ll get back an extra early kickoff - but not in Week 9 with six teams on their bye week (Cardinals, Bengals, Colts, Jaguars, Giants, Eagles). There’s seven kickoffs slated for the noon games, and here’s how they look.

• Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2-1) at Baltimore Ravens (4-4)
• Chicago Bears (4-3) at Buffalo Bills (2-6)
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-4) at Carolina Panthers (5-2)
• Kansas City Chiefs (7-1) at Cleveland Browns (2-5-1)
• New York Jets (3-5) at Miami Dolphins (4-4)
• Detroit Lions (3-4) at Minnesota Vikings (4-3-1)
• Atlanta Falcons (3-4) at Washington Redskins (5-2)

All eyes shift to the NFC South for Saints fans, as a win by the Panthers could certainly make things interesting for their late kickoff. Surprisingly, the Redskins have a big opportunity to help sink the Falcons further into a hole, who are fresh off of a bye week.
