NFL Week 9 live discussion, open thread

What a wonderful day for football! The Detroit Lions have the week off, as they relax, get healthier, and enjoy an extra week atop the NFC North. For us fans at home, Sunday is a great opportunity to just watch football. Because unlike a regular NFL Sunday, we have four timeslots to enjoy football. Not only that, but the international game that kicks things off at 9:30 a.m. ET is actually one worth watching. The Miami Dolphins vs. Kansas City Chiefs game in Germany could very well be an AFC Championship preview.

Of course, there are solid games across every slate of games. At the 1 p.m. ET slot, Seahawks vs. Ravens is the headliner, with Vikings vs. Falcons an underrated matchup. In the late afternoon, most eyes will be on an NFC East showdown between the Cowboys and Eagles.

Here’s the entire slate of Sunday’s game (minus “Sunday Night Football,” which will carry its own open thread):
