Week 9: NFL Early Games Thread

With the New England Patriots hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers at 4:25 PM ET today, that gives us a full slate of Sunday 1:00 PM ET games to sit back and enjoy, preferably with the assistance of the NFL Red Zone channel.

Feel free to use this post as an open thread to discuss the match-ups. Here is the 1:00 PM ET schedule:

Kansas City Chiefs at Buffalo Bills

Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers

Minnesota Vikings at Dallas Cowboys

New Orleans Saints at New York Jets

Tennessee Titans at St. Louis Rams

San Diego Chargers at Washington Redskins

From a Patriots fan perspective, there are two division match-ups to keep an eye on: the Chiefs at Bills and the Saints at the Jets. While both the Bills and the Jets are the host team in these games, they are both the underdogs. Nonetheless, a win by either team, the Jets especially, puts them right in the thick of the division race.
