Week 9 NFL coverage focused on team and player evaluations after a slate of notable results, including Green Bay’s 45-27 win over New England, New Orleans’ 23-22 victory over Cleveland and the Giants’ 19-11 win over Philadelphia. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye threw for 299 yards and three touchdowns, but his three interceptions hurt New England; DeMario Douglas led the team with 102 receiving yards. The Saints’ defense earned strong marks for holding Cleveland to six points through three quarters, with pressure from linebackers Kaden Elliss and D'Marco Jackson among the highlights, though missed tackles and late explosive plays hurt some grades. Philadelphia’s season grades were also compiled through Week 9, weighted by snaps, while a separate midseason report card described uneven fortunes across the league, including a strong first half for Buffalo and poor starts for teams such as the winless Chargers.
