It is NFL Week 9 and it feels like the worst football I have watched. And it’s only getting worse. Here’s a list of some quarterbacks who plan on starting actual NFL games this Sunday: Jaren Hall, Clayton Tune, Tyson Bagent, PJ Walker, Dak Prescott. Just a nasty group of guys.
But it’s football season and we’ve been conditioned to spend our Sundays watching this shit so here are the NFL Week 9 games to keep an eye on:
1. Tennesee Titans (3-4) @ Pittsburgh Steelers (4-3)
Will Levis might be HIM.
Welcome to the NFL, Will Levis 🙌
First touchdown pass of his career!

Here’s what Will Levis did in his NFL debut last week against the Falcons:
- 238 passing yards
- 4 touchdowns
- 0 interceptions
- 19-for-29 (65.5%)
- 8.2 yards per attempt
My man was SLINGING THAT SHIT.
I just need him to get off one more week of superstar-level play against Kenny Pickett so there can finally be a national conversation about how unbelievably replaceable Pickett is.
Or there’s a very good chance that a rookie QB coming off 3 days of prep could be eaten alive by Mike Tomlin’s Pittsburgh Steelers. Either way, we get to leave this game with a brand new narrative about someone.
2. Miami Dolphins (6-2) @ Kansas City Chiefs (6-2)
Honestly, this game is for y’all. A 9:30am Germany game is not for me. I operate on West Coast time. This game might as well be happening at 2 in the morning. But for the real NFL sickos, here you go.
Tyreek Hill vs. his old squad. Get ready for that storyline all morning long. I’m just praying Taylor Swift takes her private jet to Hamburg so we can get more memes and less pretending as if Tyreek Hill is a good guy who deserves unquestioned praise.
3. New York Giants (2-6) @ Las Vegas Raiders (3-5)
We are only a few days away from the worst football game of all time.
There’s a winless 8th-grade team playing more exciting games than the New York Giants have played this year.
The Giants are dead last in scoring this year. 11.9 points a game. Ew. The Texas Rangers were putting up more runs than that.
Their 267.9 yards a game ranks 32nd in the league juuuuust ahead of these Las Vegas Raiders and their 268.3 yards a game.
And the Raiders are coming off a week where they fired their GM, head coach and offensive coordinator. We are about to witness the rebirth of those YouTube bum fight videos. The final score might be a 0-0 tie.
Oh, and the Raiders new interim head coach, Antonio Pierce, was a key member of the Giants 2007 Super Bowl team. So I get to celebrate no matter which team wins and again, don’t be shocked when the game ends 0-0.
4. Buffalo Bills (4-3) @ Cincinnati Bengals (4-3)
The last time the Bills played in Cincinnati for a nationally televised primetime game, we were introduced to the Damar Hambulance. I’m not saying it would be funny if his heart stopped again. That would be a horrible thing to hope for.
Buuuut maybe like, a sprained ankle or something that stops the game again and makes everyone question why they watch these humans lower their life expectancies for our amusement.
These are the things you wish for when you’re a Giants fan. Terrible football discourse.
5. Los Angeles Chargers (3-4) @ New York Jets (4-3)
The Jets being 4-3 despite Aaron Rodgers tearing his achilles in the opening drive of week 1 is insane. Especially considering they didn’t even replace him. Zach Wilson is out here having quarterback duels with Patrick Mahomes (and Tommy DeVito).
But this game deserves some eyes because it feels like we’re learning a lot about who Justin Herbert is this season and more importantly, who he’s not. There were a couple of seasons where Herbert was put up there at the top of the league with Mahomes, Burrows and Allen because of his arm talent in a vacuum.
But there is no quarterback who gets to automatically be considered Top 5 who looks worse in big games than Herbert. Sure, wins are not exclusive to the QB but the best guys in NFL history have overcome worse situations to succeed than Herbert has in LA.
I’m one week away from throwing out Herbert like Jesse’s owner did her in that sad-ass Toy Story 2 montage.
