Week 9 Red Zone Football League Headlines

Vikings Dismantle Bears 48-3, Dobbins Delivers

J.K. Dobbins rumbled for 212 yards and 3 touchdowns, dominating the Bears' defense with a 99-yard TD run. Chicago’s quarterback duo of Davis Mills and Caleb Williams struggled, combining for three interceptions. The Vikings improved to 5-3 and remain within striking distance in the NFC North race, showing their balanced offensive and defensive prowess.

Bills Outduel Dolphins 51-38 in Offensive Fireworks

Josh Allen exploded for 466 yards and 4 touchdowns in a high-scoring affair. The Dolphins’ Tyreek Hill dazzled with 148 yards and two touchdowns, but Miami’s defense had no answers for Buffalo’s firepower. With their fifth straight win, the Bills assert themselves as the AFC's top contender, showing a versatile offensive attack that can strike from anywhere.

Commanders Edge Cowboys 20-17, NFC East Battle Heats Up

Washington’s defense, led by two sacks from Myles Garrett, shut down a late Cowboys rally to preserve the win. Brian Robinson Jr. powered through with two touchdowns as the Commanders improved to 6-2, pulling into a tie with Dallas in the heated NFC East race. Both teams are showing playoff-caliber defense, setting up a thrilling division chase.

Texans Win OT Thriller Over 49ers 37-31

C.J. Stroud threw for 356 yards and 4 touchdowns, connecting with Tank Dell on three scores in a wild back-and-forth battle. Despite two interceptions, Stroud’s resilience guided Houston to victory. San Francisco, now 1-8, couldn’t capitalize on Christian McCaffrey’s two touchdowns, with their defense faltering in crunch time as the Texans showed grit to steal the win.

Titans Hold Off Chiefs 30-27 in Nailbiter

Tennessee survived a furious Kansas City comeback, with Patrick Mahomes throwing for 302 yards and three touchdowns. The Titans' defense, however, stood tall when it mattered most. Brock Purdy’s clutch passing, including a game-sealing touchdown to Chigoziem Okonkwo, keeps Tennessee in the thick of the AFC South playoff picture as the Chiefs drop their third straight.

Saints Outshine Colts 37-27, Frazier Shines

New Orleans’ B.J. Frazier tossed three touchdowns, including two long bombs to Chris Olave, leading the Saints to victory. Indianapolis' Anthony Richardson threw for a stunning 420 yards but was undone by two costly interceptions. The Saints tighten their grip on the NFC South race, while the Colts’ playoff hopes continue to fade.

Packers Clamp Down Rams 20-13, Watson Strikes Again

Green Bay’s defense forced Matthew Stafford into three interceptions, while Jordan Love threw three touchdowns, including a 68-yard strike to Christian Watson. The Packers, now 7-2, extended their lead in the NFC North. Green Bay’s combination of a solid defense and big-play capability makes them a force to be reckoned with heading into the second half of the season.

Steelers Escape Bengals 23-21, Logan Carries the Load

Jermaine Logan’s 131 rushing yards powered Pittsburgh’s offense, while the Steelers’ defense forced two late turnovers to secure the win. Joe Burrow’s three touchdowns were not enough for Cincinnati, which continues to spiral at 2-6. Pittsburgh, at 4-5, keeps its playoff hopes alive, fueled by a tough ground game and opportunistic defense.

Chargers Rally to Defeat Raiders 27-13, Fields Struggles

The Raiders collapsed in the second half as Justin Fields threw three costly interceptions. Los Angeles quarterback Justin Herbert capitalized with two touchdown passes, and Jaxson Rogers added 79 rushing yards. The Chargers now sit at 5-4, keeping pace in the AFC West, while Las Vegas struggles with inconsistency, particularly at quarterback.

Eagles Slip Past Giants 13-7 in Defensive Standoff

Philadelphia’s defense stifled Daniel Jones, intercepting him twice in a gritty divisional matchup. Despite a subpar day from Jalen Hurts, the Eagles’ ground game and defensive stand helped them climb to 5-4. The Giants’ offense continues to sputter, dropping them to 1-7 as Philadelphia keeps pace in a competitive NFC East.


Fantasy Watch:

Start ‘Em:

  • Tank Dell, HOU – Dell’s connection with Stroud is undeniable, with 168 yards and 3 touchdowns in Week 9. He’s emerging as a must-start, especially in PPR formats.
  • J.K. Dobbins, MIN – Fresh off a 212-yard, 3-touchdown explosion, Dobbins has cemented himself as a fantasy RB1.
  • Josh Allen, BUF – Allen’s 466 yards and 4 TDs against Miami remind us why he’s a top fantasy QB, especially with Buffalo’s aggressive aerial attack.

Sit ‘Em:

  • Justin Fields, LV – Fields’ three interceptions are worrisome, and his job security is shaky. His inconsistency makes him a risky play moving forward.
  • Christian McCaffrey, SF – While McCaffrey had two touchdowns, the 49ers’ offensive struggles and the team's 1-8 record cast doubt on his volume in the coming weeks.
  • Matthew Stafford, LAR – Three interceptions and just 131 yards passing show that Stafford is in a slump, making him a dangerous fantasy start.

Title Teasers:

Buffalo Bills (7-1): The Bills are the team to beat, with an explosive offense and a defense led by Ed Oliver and Von Miller. Josh Allen is leading a historic MVP campaign, as Buffalo has its sights firmly set on a Super Bowl run.

Green Bay Packers (7-2): Christian Watson’s big-play ability and Green Bay’s suffocating defense make the Packers a complete team poised for a deep playoff run. Jordan Love’s steady improvement only strengthens their chances as they take control of the NFC North.

Washington Commanders (6-2): With Myles Garrett wreaking havoc and Brian Robinson Jr. finding the end zone regularly, Washington is quickly rising as a dark horse in the NFC playoff race. Their mix of tough defense and efficient offense could make them a serious contender come postseason time.
