Wow it’s NFL week 9! I can’t believe we’re already this far into the season, time sure flies when you’re having fun watching football! So many great matchups this week, for sure. Patriots vs Ravens, their defense being one of the top 2 in the league this season, which should be an incredible game! Dolphins against the Colts, the Colts missing 3 of their starting offensive linemen would be the deciding factor. And of course, my beloved Seahawks, playing against the Buccaneers to try and win the game and stay on top of the NFC west.
I remember when I was younger, I used to look forward to week 9 every season so excited to see all the different teams clashing on one day. That feeling of anticipation has never gone away and I love the tradition that has been carried out through the years. Seeing the same teams play the same opponents, just with a new twist, is always exciting. Even though the names change through the years the excitement remains the same.
This year is no exception due to all the great matchups that are planned for the Sunday Night Football games. The Chiefs vs the Rams, a potential Super Bowl preview, is always the game everyone has been talking about. But in addition to that, the Cardinals playing against the 49ers should be a great one. With the Cardinals being 4-3 and the 49ers being undefeated (7-0), this game should be a nail biter.
The highlight of the day for me is when the Seahawks take the field. I’ve been a Seahawks fan my entire life and the excitement during their games makes me feel like a kid again. Even though I may not be at the stadium in person, I can still feel the excitement and anticipation as I watch them play. Seeing how far this team has come over the years has made me so proud of being a Seahawks fan.
This week’s games have a lot of story lines and hype, which makes the entire season that much more exciting. Although we know each team’s probability of making it to the Super Bowl, the playoffs are far from over and the final team to make it there is yet to be seen. Could it be the Ravens? The Patriots? Or maybe the Seahawks will take the crown? One thing’s for sure, week 9 of the NFL will have us all on the edge of our seats!
