NFL Week 9 Preview: Best Games, Key Questions, Predictions

The story lines we’ll be watching closely, including a Rams-Buccaneers matchup which could determine both teams’ playoff fate. Plus, picks for midseason MVP.

We’ve reached the midway point of the 2022 NFL season, and Week 9 features plenty of new faces in new places after Tuesday’s trade deadline. Bears quarterback Justin Fields has a No. 1 receiver (Chase Claypool), Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has a new tight end (T.J. Hockenson) and Bills quarterback Josh Allen has another pass catcher (Nyheim Hines), to name a few. And the Dolphins have a new pass rusher in Bradley Chubb, who signed a $110 million extension Thursday.
