www.dailymail.co.uk, November 3, 2022
Week 9 of the National Football League season gets off the road in Houston, Texas, with the surprising possibility of the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles vying for the Texans' fading, 1-5-1. Although an NFL Sunday always delivers a surprise, with Week 9 largely without exception, the slate isn't quite as eye-catching as previous weeks. Dallas (6-2), the New York Football Giants (6-2) and the San Francisco 49ers (4-4) are among the NFC front runners this week. Russell Wilson's potential 3-5 Denver Broncos, the tumultuous 2-6 Pittsburgh Steelers, and AFC North rival Cleveland are among the many intriguing 3-5 figures.

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 20, 2022

In fact, there is just one match between winning teams this week, and that will be between the Colts and Titans — both of whom are ranked in the lower half of the NFL in points scored. Meanwhile, the middling injuries-plagued Steelers (2-4) and Dolphins (3-3), while the Saints and Cardinals are battling 2-4 teams on Thursday Night Football.
