NFL Week 9: Preview

Key Battles

New England Patriots v Buffalo Bills

Tom Brady vs Aaron Rodgers

This game is the matchup of the week. Many fans have this game circled as the game to watch all weekend. I want to apologise to Drew Brees and Peyton Manning because they are always left out of the conversation when it comes to who is the best quarterback of their generation.

When it comes to down to talk about the best quarterbacks, its always still between Brady and Rodgers. Brady is coming off a less than a spectacular win against the Bills. While Rodgers probably can't stop thinking of the heartbreak loss to the Rams.

Both of these players have the utmost respect for each other, but they both hate losing. They will be pushing each other hard all game long to outdo the other one. This game will be fun!

Demaryius Thomas vs Courtland Sutton

Not everytime do you get traded before the week of practice starts and you end up playing against your former team that week. Well, Demaryius Thomas is lucky, because after he got traded from the Denver Broncos to the Houston Texans, he realised it wouldn't take him long to show his former team they were wrong to trade him. Thomas gets to go against the Broncos this week.

The Denver Broncos realised that the master had trained his young padawan (Star Wars reference) well and its okay to move on from the master. That young padawan is Courtland Sutton, and he will be looked upon to replace the production that Thomas has left. Its a big assignment to replace the former Super Bowl Champion, but we will get to see if the Denver made the right choice!

Drew Brees vs Los Angeles Rams Defence

This game can easily be the other game of the week. Often regarded as the "other" great quarterback, Drew Brees still puts up phenomenal numbers at his 39 years of age. This week, Brees will have the task of trying to beat one of the best defences in the league. The Los Angeles Rams already played one of the greats last week (Rodgers) and squeaked out a win. This match will be the same test for the Rams, and we will see if they can squeak out another win against a great!
