Week 9 Roundup, late games (00:26)
LAC 27, PHI 24
Justin Herbert bounces back from bad game last week
Austin Ekeler getting the work in
Keenan Allen clicking with Herbert in the 2nd half of season so far; Mike Williams coming back down to earth
Need more production from Jalen Hurts
Jordan Howard taking over the RB room; Boston Scott a possible drop; Kenneth Gainwell unplayable right now
DeVonta Smith inspired by the turmoil with his friend Henry Ruggs
Next up: LAC hosts MIN; PHI visits DEN
KC 13, GB 7
Can't put a finger on what's going on with Patrick Mahomes
Darrell Williams with a better outing this week; Derrick Gore comes down to earth
A better showing for Travis Kelce; Tyreek Hill kept in check
Tough debut for Jordan Love given the circumstances
Thought GB should have ran more with Aaron Jones & AJ Dillon
FYI Aaron Rodgers, be ready to face some "woke" brothers in your locker room
Don't be surprised if Rodgers doesn't play for Week 10
Next up: KC visits LV (Sun night); GB hosts SEA
ARI 31, SF 17
ARI playing without Kyler Murray (ankle) & DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring)
Colt McCoy one of the better backup QBs in the league
Chase Edmonds suffers high ankle sprain; out 4-6 weeks
James Conner led the RB room with Eno Benjamin the backup now
Christian Kirk led the pass catchers in Hopkins' absence
Jimmy Garoppalo getting the yards but not finding the endzone often
Elijah Mitchell ok but not great
George Kittle back & played well; Brandon Aiyuk starting to emerge; Deebo Samuel fading
Next up: ARI hosts CAR; SF hosts LAR (Mon)
TEN 28, LAR 16
Thought Ryan Tannehill would throw it more; team more dedicated to the run game
Without Derrick Henry, TEN going with a 3-headed attack with Jeremy McNichols, Adrian Peterson & D'Onta Foreman
AJ Brown playing like an elite WR1 right now
A bad outing for Matthew Stafford by his standards this season
Darrell Henderson with the bad ankle played ok & not great
Robert Woods coming to life recently; Cooper Kupp still playing well
Next up: TEN hosts NO; LAR goes to SF (Mon)
PIT 29, CHI 27
Ben Roethlisberger at this stage in his career a game manager
Rookie Najee Harris continues to deliver
Rookie Pat Freiermuth is a must own TE at this point in the season
Rookie Justin Fields comes of age in this game; sign of things to come
David Montgomery (knee) made his return & dominated the touches out of the backfield
