The trolls were out once again in Week 9 of the NFL season, which brought stunning victories. One of those surprising wins was the Carolina Panthers' 16-13 road victory over the Green Bay Packers. Carolina entered the game as 13.

The Lions, like the Packers, lost a game they probably should have won, and did so in their own stadium. Detroit was nearly a double-digit favorite against division rival Minnesota on Sunday, but instead allowed the Vikings to grab an early lead and largely control the game from start to finish.

The Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs were involved in another nail-biter as a fewl upsets and a record-breaker occurred over the course of Week 9.

With the 2025 NFL season at the midway point, every game takes on even greater significance as the playoff picture takes shape.

Week 9 of the 2025 NFL season kicked off on Thursday night, which saw the Dolphins get dismantled by the Baltimore Ravens and a returning Lamar Jackson. From there, we have inched towards the day we find ourselves on, which is the Sunday of Week 9.
