Week 9 of the 2026-27 NFL season brings a packed slate, a couple of international and prime-time showcases, and a pair of teams sitting this one out. The action starts Thursday, November 5, with the Baltimore Ravens hosting the Jacksonville Jaguars in a matchup that pits two clubs heading in very different directions. Baltimore is fading fast, while Jacksonville has started to look like a legitimate contender, so the big question is whether the Jaguars can handle a short-week trip without a slip.
The week’s standalone games give fans plenty to circle. On Sunday morning, the Cincinnati Bengals and Atlanta Falcons meet in Madrid, Spain, in an early kickoff that lands on NFL Network. Sunday night belongs to the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Monday closes with the Minnesota Vikings taking on the Buffalo Bills in a primetime matchup.
The Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans are on bye in Week 9.

Jaguars Trade Buzz Just Raised One Huge Question About Their 2026 Push
The Jaguars long-term planning is already getting a lot of attention, and now the conversation has widened to the defensive front. Jacksonville is reportedly trying to work out a trade for either Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter or Panthers defensive tackle Derrick Brown, a sign the team is at least exploring major moves as it looks ahead to a 2026 push. Carter just signed a four-year extension with Philadelphia, while Brown has been active this season and has put together a strong defensive stretch for Carolina.
For Jacksonville, the appeal is obvious: both players would change the look of a defense that wants to be more disruptive when the roster is built out for that next window. The timing makes the buzz even more interesting, especially with Philadelphia dealing with its own issues and the Jaguars trying to gauge how aggressive they want to be in pursuit of a difference-maker. Whether this turns into a real trade or just another sign of where Jacksonvilles head is at, it has already raised a bigger question about how far the team is willing to go to speed up its 2026 plans.

Ravens Quarterback Chaos Just Changed Everything For The Jaguars
The Jaguars trip to Baltimore suddenly looks a lot different after the Ravens were hit with a wave of quarterback injuries heading into Thursday night. Lamar Jackson is dealing with a thumb injury, Tyler Huntley is out for the season with a toe injury, and Baltimore has had to scramble just to build enough depth at the position.
Joe Fagnano is now the likely starter, with the Ravens adding Kaden Slovis and Austin Reed to help stabilize the room. For Jacksonville, it changes the shape of the matchup in a hurry, turning what looked like a tough road test into a game with a very different kind of uncertainty attached to it. [Read more 🡒]
Trevor Lawrence Got Dragged Into Another Al Michaels Broadcast Mess
Al Michaels found himself in the middle of another broadcast slip during Thursday nights Week 9 game, and this one quickly traveled far beyond the booth. While calling the action, Michaels mistakenly said Trevor Lawrence was the first overall draft pick in 2001, a mix-up that immediately lit up social media and put the Jaguars quarterback at the center of a very public gaffe.
For Jacksonville fans, it was another reminder of how quickly a national broadcast can turn into a talking point for all the wrong reasons. Michaels has already acknowledged that retirement is something he and Amazon will decide when the time is right, and the latest mistake only renewed the conversation around how long the veteran announcer plans to keep going.
