[Preview] Week 9: Bucs-Rams, the game of fear

After another victory of Philadelphia, place now for the rest of the NFL. This week we will experience the remake of a playoff game from last season. A completely crazy meeting that will have left immense memories to the spectators. The last two champions face off Florida. On paper, it’s hard to get more exciting, but The Angels et Tampa Bay however, I am in a very delicate situation. The alarm is raised for these two franchises. Beyond the match not to be missed of the week, it is rather THE match of fear.

For the rest, Lamar Jackson, Kirk cousins, Bill Belichick and the Titans will be in the news. Here is precisely the program of the week 9.

The match not to be missed

Kick-off on Sunday at 22:25
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-5) – Los Angeles Rams (3-4)

He could have (from?) be the last image of Tom Brady in NFL. A legendary match against rams in an explosive playoff duel. Last January, The Angels had beaten Tampa Bayin a breathtaking final, with in particular an attempted comeback aborted on the edge of the first New England. Nevertheless, number 12 he decided to return despite the announcement of his retirement a few days after this meeting. For the moment, nothing really proves that it was a good decision. On paper, the buccaneers they are full of talent. On the ground, however, it is more complicated. The attack fails and the defense appears to have regressed. Result, the Floridians stay 3 consecutive losses and 5 losses in the last 6 games. We are far from the standards expected from Tom Brady.

Where this game becomes interesting is the opposite, the rams don’t do much better. They are definitely one less defeat than their opponents at the weekend, but they haven’t won more games.Sean McVay I can’t even find the solution. Except that alongside the teams, don’t expect these two franchises. Of course Atlantain NFC Southet Seattleto thewestare not out of reach yet, but there is no evidence that the rams and the Buc will come back to place. At the end of this bout, one of the two franchises will be (a bit) better. The other will sink a little deeper into the crisis. Woe to the loser then.

The duel: Lamar Jackson vs. defense of the saints

Kick-off at night from Monday to Tuesday at 02:30
New Orleans Saints (3-5) – Baltimore Ravens (5-3)

The pass-rusher of Saints, Cameron Jordanyou know, a match against Lamar Jackson it’s always special. As he said at a press conference this week, the Holy he is preparing for a particular meeting. It must be said that the quarterback is atypical. With 553 yards on land, is the pitcher who collects the most yards in this area. Bad news for gamers Louisiana struggling to contain mobile quarterbacks. As proof, they only achieved a heartbreaking victory against the hawks from Marco Mariota and had to bow against the Cardinals from Kyler Murray. It is therefore difficult to contain Lamar Jackson. Especially since this isn’t just a runner. It is also displayed 1,635 yards and 15 TD in the air. It is the very definition of a double threat. While the defensive team is clearly the main asset of New Orleans, will have his work cut out for her. It is certainly on this side of the pitch that the game will be played. However, we will look at the first steps of Roquan Smithrecently acquired through exchange, in its new colors.

Currently: 5/6

Kick-off at night from Sunday to Monday 02.20
Kansas City Chiefs (5-2) – Tennessee Titans (5-2)

During last 6 games in the middle Tennessee et Kansas CityThey Titans they have imposed themselves 5 shots. This makes them one of the most difficult formations to maneuver Andy Reid and its players. On the other hand, the only victory of Heads in this series it certainly happened in the most important game: the final of the conference in 2019. Patrick Mahomes and his attack had beaten their rivals to theArrowhead. The fact remains that the Titans can annoy Kansas City. After two defeats at the start of the season, Tennessee he found his cruising speed and just continued 5 consecutive successes. The franchise will therefore come to Kansas City with full confidence. The Heads they will have been able to prepare for this match in the best conditions thanks in particular to their week off. Between these two playoff candidates in AFCthe assembly promises to be disputed.

Player: Kirk Cousins

Kick-off on Sunday at 19:00
Washington Commanders (4-4) – Minnesota Vikings (6-1)

For the first time since his departure, Kirk cousins will face his old team. An opportunity for him to remember the good memories with Washington. The pitcher has in fact spent no less than 6 seasons in the federal capital. Sunday, will come back with Vikings which are currently experiencing one of the best season starts in their history. A flying start with 6 wins For alone 1 loss. Minnesota it is the first in its division and intends to remain so. For this, the teammates of cousins they will continue to rely on what has been their strong point since the beginning of the season: efficiency in the red zone. On them last 12 races in the 20 adverse yards, They Vikings they registered 11 touchdowns. The game call of Kevin O’Connell he’s perfect in these situations so far and that’s what helps his team perform. The arrival of TJ Hockenson from Detroit it should also bring them a new push on this side of the ball. The Commanders they are warned.

Coach: Bill Belichick

Kick-off on Sunday at 19:00
New England Patriots (4-4) – Indianapolis Colts (3-4-1)

We weren’t used to that, but the Patriots I live the current one “controversial” to the quarterback. While we have thought about a hassle-free return of Mac Jones after his injury, it ultimately looks a lot more complicated than that. Is ahead Bears, zap et Jones they took turns. The following week, the Patriots won against jetsbut it is clear that the formerAlabama did not particularly convince. what I will do Bill Belichick ? If it were logical Jones remains the owner, we note that the technician has never been very clear on the subject. History perhaps to leave the door open to a return zap.

This meeting with Colt it will however be an opportunity to continue to observe the situation in place of this pitcher. A post that also asks questions a Indianapolis. After the injury of Matt Ryan, Sam Ehlinger now he has the reins of the franchise attack. Is ahead Commanders, he was not particularly successful with a tepid match and a defeat in key. The next challenge of him is New England. I’m not sure there are many points in this meeting.

The (other) duels of division

Kick-off on Sunday at 19:00
Detroit Lions (1-6) – Green Bay Packers (3-5)

Kick-off on Sunday at 19:00
New York Jets (5-3) – Buffalo Bills (6-1)

Kick-off on Sunday at 10:05 pm
Arizona Cardinals (3-5) – Seattle Seahawks (5-3)

Three division duels will glitch this 9seventh week of competitions. In NFC North before where the Packers I am going through hard times. After 4 consecutive losses, Green Bay he absolutely has to react. For this, the teammates ofAaron Rodgers pass to Detroit to face a team that has only won one game since the start of the season. Always a 19has far asAFC East. New York continues its division round. After New EnglandThey jets now get the Invoices. The level will rise again and you will have to be strong to resist what is being done better and better. AFC currently.

Finally, in the late evening, Seattle he wants to confirm his good start to the season. Mainly the Seahawks aim to keep up with the NFC Ouest. To contain the 49ers it’s at ramswe’ll have to beat the Cardinals. A team they had already beaten 19-9 in week 6. Now is the time to double down.

Cincinnati Bengals (4-4) – Carolina Panthers (2-6)

Kick-off on Sunday at 19:00
Jacksonville Jaguars (2-6) – Las Vegas Raiders (2-5)

In the rest of the matches of the week, the surprising hawks to receive Chargers coming out of a week off. On paper, The Angels looks superior to his weekend opponent, but Atlanta it is no longer a surprise and could be disturbing Justin Herbert and its. At the same time, Chicago et You love me he will offer us a nice style opposition with on one side a team brought almost exclusively to the ground and on the other that cuts in the air the opponents with his duo Jaylen Waddle – Tyreek Hill.

The latest winners of the conference AFC will receive them Panthers. After a defeat a ClevelandThey Bengali he must react and he should have the perfect opponent. In any case, they hope to emerge victorious from this feline duel. Other felines in fact, the jaguars they haven’t really come out with their claws in a few weeks. After a good start to the season, they are in trouble, such as defeat a London last weekend. On Sunday, they face off Marauders who also took a hit on the head with a backhand without scoring a single point against the Saints. One of the two teams will stick its head out of the water. For the other, it will be the crisis.
