Kevin Clark recaps everything from Week 9 in the NFL.
What is the biggest thing that's changed about your team in the last year? For the Eagles, it starts with Saquon Barkley changing the franchise and the team not making the same mistake two years in a row. For the Jaguars, nothing changed.
For the Packers, Jordan Love is turning the ball over - something he wasn't doing in the second half of last season. For the Lions, everything has changed. You have to play perfectly to beat them and Jared Goff completes more passes than anyone.
For the Ravens, Derrick Henry continues to get chunk play after chunk play and force missed tackles.
For the Rams, they replaced Aaron Donald with young defensive players who are now coming into their own.
For the Bears, they're going to regret the lost chances they've had so far because their schedule is about to be rough.
For the Chargers, they're defensive coaching has been significantly better without any change in player personnel.
For the Commanders, literally everything has changed. And it's real.
For the Patriots, Drake Maye looks like the guy.
For the Bills, they're finding different ways to win.
For the Cowboys, Dak gets hurt. Does that make the team sellers?

Kevin Clark recaps Week 7 in the NFL.
Sunday Night Football's matchup between the Jets and Steelers seemed like two teams going in opposite directions. The Steelers showcased why Mike Tomlin wins a lot of games - he took two quarterbacks the league didn't want and tried both out to see what works best. Aaron Rodgers, meanwhile, is not good enough to overcome the systematic failures of the New York Jets franchise.
What does the national media get wrong about your team? We asked, you answered, including whether the Chiefs are still centered around Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, whether the QB situation even matters in Pittsburgh, whether Cowboys fans are actually aware of what's going on with their team, whether the Lions defense is underrated, whether Bobby Slowik is overrated and whether Joe Schoen deserves more criticism.
