10 things to watch in NFL Week 9 schedul

Here are 10 things from NFL Week 9 that intrigue me: 1. vs. secondary: Carr is coming off a 512-yard, four-touchdown performance, but he hasn't faced a secondary nearly as good as what he will see against Denver. They are ball hawks. 2. offensive line vs. Broncos pa s rush: The Denver pa s Lorenzo Cain Jersey rush starts with , who is the best in the league. He also has a lot of help from and others. But the Oakland offensive line is big and talented and should make for a nice battle. 3. quarterback vs. quarterback : This should be a fun shootout at Lambeau when these two get together Sunday. The Colts have big-time defensive i sues that could force this into a wide-open Orlando Arcia Jersey game. That would be fun. 4. defense vs. receiver Odell Beckham Jr.: The Eagles talked this week of getting into Beckham's head. If he allows that to happen, it can change his focus. That's not smart. But it will be interesting to see whether the Eagles can make it work and take him out of his game. 5. Will quarterback play against the , and if so how effective will he be coming off a knee injury? Roethlisberger practiced some this week and could play. But it's Ryan Braun Jersey only been three weeks since he suffered a meniscus injury in his knee Oct. 16 against the . It won't be ideal if he does play, but he's a better option than . 6. How will the firing of offensive coordinator impact the play of quarterback ? Was Olsen a sacrificial move by coach Gus Bradley? Probably, but the entire offense has regre sed, led by Bortles. Maybe Nathaniel Hackett, who was elevated from quarterback coach, can get Bortles playing more like he did in 2015. Does it really matter now for Bradley's fate? 7. quarterback against the : Prescott had his first struggle last week against the Eagles, but rallied in the fourth quarter. With closer to being healthy, Stephen Vogt Jersey how will Prescott respond here? He looked tight early last week. 8. Dolphins running game against run defense: Miami running back has consecutive games of 200 yards or more the past two times out. But the Jets are first in rushing yards per game allowed. Something has to give. 9. defensive coordinator Gregg Williams against quarterback : It's interesting that Newton complained about taking too many hits that aren't flagged the week he faces Williams' defense. Yovani Gallardo Jersey Williams was a central figure in the Bountygate scandal in New Orleans and his teams have always played a tough, physical style. Will Newton's complaining help his cause? Will there be more flags flying? 10. The offense without coordinator Norv Turner: There is no denying the Vikings are struggling on offense. So when Turner decided to walk away from his job Wednesday, it was met with surprise but also some ho-hum talk. Change might be good. Then again, what's new coordinator Pat Shurmur supposed to do with an offense that plays behind that offensive line?
