Questions, takeaways from Sunday's NFL games: Did Joe Burrow enhance his MVP bid? (Detroit 19, Miami 9 - Lions:  Has the Lions defense gone from a weakness to a strength? Sure, the past two offenses they've faced -- Minnesota and Miami -- were the 26th and 31st scoring offenses entering Week 9, respectively, but the unit has now stacked four solid performances in a row. Through the first four weeks, Detroit's defense was second-to-last in points allowed (31.8). Since then -- in wins against the Cardinals, Packers, Vikings and Dolphins -- they've allowed just 17.0 per game. Given the Lions' normally high-scoring offense had struggled to score in each of the past two contests, the defensive turnaround couldn't have come at a better time.  Trend to watch: Sunday marked the second straight game in which the Lions failed to score a touchdown in the first half -- their first time doing so in consecutive games since October 2022. Part of the reason for that was quarterback Jared Goff being pressured on 40% of his dropbacks in the opening two quarters. -- ESPN staff):  https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50369510/week-9-sunday-games-takeaways-questions-2026

2026 NFL season, Week 9: What We Learned from Sunday's games (Lions 19 Dolphins 9 - Bobby Kownack's takeaways:  1. Usual suspects lift Detroit to tightly contested win. Sunday’s victory over Miami was not your typical Lions affair. Jared Goff and the offense took forever to get going, and it seemed as if they knew things weren’t quite clicking. The Lions pulled out all the stops against their one-win opponent. They went for it on fourth down on the first drive. A few players later, Jahmyr Gibbs took a direct snap and faked a pitch to Goff before streaking around the edge for 16 yards. Two plays into the second quarter, Detroit converted a fake punt throw by Jack Fox on fourth-and-7 from its own 30. The Lions constantly stalled out, failing to score a touchdown until 1:20 remained in the third quarter -- and that was a run by Gibbs on fourth down, too. Luckily, they had a couple stars to lean on to help guide them through their struggles. Amon-Ra St. Brown was the main source of the team’s passing offense. Deep into the final frame (at the start of the Lions’ seventh drive of the game), he had seven catches, while the rest of Detroit’s pass catchers had combined for six. St. Brown drew a third-down pass interference penalty early on that possession, and a few players later hauled in a key 17-yard catch on third-and-8 to keep the chains moving with a perilous seven-point lead. He eventually finished with 86 yards on eight receptions. Every other Lion combined for 10 catches and 95 yards. And though Gibbs was frequently met by a pod of Dolphins in the backfield, he still broke off a number of clutch gainers, including the aforementioned 8-yard TD run. He finished with a game-high 74 rushing yards. That was about it for offensive highlights, but it was enough.  2. Miami wastes strong defensive performance. Jeff Hafley’s defense fought valiantly against the league’s No. 3 scoring offense. If only the rest of the team had been able to repay the group’s efforts. The Dolphins consistently crashed into Detroit’s backfield to locate Jahmyr Gibbs, containing the electric back who had been averaging 4.9 yards per carry entering Week 9 to 3.7 yards per attempt on 20 rushes. Jared Goff struggled to find and hit open passers, throwing for a season-low 170 yards. He was sacked three times and tossed just his second pick of the season to rookie corner Chris Johnson after Josh Uche hit his arm during the throwing motion. The Dolphins didn’t bend to the point of allowing a touchdown -- the only one of the game -- until the waning minutes of the third quarter. Malik Willis and the offense could do nothing with their opportunities, however. Willis threw for only 128 yards and an interception and seemed hesitant to open it up on the ground (two carries for 7 yards), while Ollie Gordon II was held to 55 rushing yards. When the Fins had a chance to make it a tie game heading into halftime, they instead committed a holding penalty and missed a 38-yard field goal on the final two plays of the second quarter. Toward the start of the fourth quarter, down 10 with the ball at Detroit’s 7-yard line, Willis took two sacks over the next three plays before Miami settled for a three points. Gut-wrenching mistakes are no way to beat a contender like the Lions, and the Dolphins certainly made their share of them.  3.  Ugly game all around. One of the biggest concerns for any 5-2 team traveling to face a 1-6 opponent is typically avoiding playing down to the lesser squad’s level. The Lions absolutely joined the Dolphins in the doldrums for a messy matchup that will have neither side coming away feeling particularly happy. The Lions and Dolphins combined for 20 accepted penalties, with Detroit committing nine to Miami’s 11. They went 7 for 24 on third down, collectively. Detroit managed only 270 yards, nearly 100 fewer than its previous low on the season (355); Miami posted its second-lowest yardage total of the year with 228. Thanks to the offensive ineptitude, a few of the most exciting plays of the matchup were actually fake punts. Both teams ran one, and both teams converted on passes -- one by Lions punter Jack Fox and another by Dolphins punter Bradley Pinion. It was the first time since at least 1950 that multiple punters have completed a pass in the same game, per NFL Research. Give credit to the Lions defense for showing up and making life miserable for the Dolphins, but Detroit didn’t exactly put an exclamation point on this one despite running its winning streak to four.  Next Gen Stats Insight for Lions-Dolphins (via NFL Pro): Aidan Hutchinson matched up against Austin Jackson 16 times in Week 9 (all 1-on-1), recording six pressures (37.5% pressure rate), including two quick pressures under 2.5 seconds.  NFL Research: Jahmyr Gibbs recorded his 60th career touchdown, tying Hall of Famer LaDainian Tomlinson for the second-most by any player in their first four seasons in NFL history, trailing only Hall of Famer Terrell Davis with 61.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/2026-nfl-season-week-9-what-we-learned-from-sunday-s-games

Ja'Marr Chase, Commanders among Week 9's biggest winners and losers (Winners: Punters - No team ever wants its punter on the field, but three squads made the most of fourth-down situations on Sunday. The Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions turned their punters into offensive threats with a fake punt apiece, and in doing so, their matchup became the first game in NFL history wherein both teams' punters completed a pass.  Jack Fox of the Lions was the first of the two to successfully pick up a first down through the air. From his own 29-yard line, he threw a strike to Tay Martin for 11 yards and a new set of downs. Fox is now 5-of-6 passing for his career with 72 yards, and each of his completions resulted in a first down. The Dolphins pulled off a trick of their own in the fourth quarter when Bradley Pinon floated a ball to a wide-open Kaytron Allen, who rattled off a 46-yard gain on fourth-and-3 from Miami's own 36.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-9-winners-and-losers-jamarr-chase-bengals-commanders/

Grades:

CBS (Lions Grades:  C+.  The Lions offense tends to get all the headlines when it comes to this team, but in this game, it was Detroit's defense that stole the show. In their first game since Jack Campbell's injury, the defense played inspired football. Derrick Moore came up with two of the team's three sacks on a day when the Lions' pass rush had Malik Willis on the run for most of the game. The defense has been beating up on everyone since the Lions' Week 6 bye. Detroit's opponents have averaged just 13.7 points per game over the past three weeks. The fact that the offense can have a slightly off day and Detroit can still win by double-digit points should have the Lions feeling good about the rest of the season.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-9-grades-cowboys-bengals-patriots-packers/

Week 9 Predictions

CBS Breech (Lions 31-17 over Dolphins):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-9-picks-score-predictions-packers-patriots/

SN Iyer (Lions (-6.5, 50.5 o/u) at Dolphins - The Lions survived the Vikings' defense with plenty of Jahmyr Gibbs in the running game, setting up timely big pass plays for Jared Goff. That's really how they win offensively every week. They won't meet much resistance from the defense in Miami. Honolulu Blue has no problem showing all of its hot colors to Marine Blue.  Pick: Lions win 34-17):  https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-picks-predictions-against-spread-week-9/c376e8dbc38dc3df13eb0581

SN Bender (DOLPHINS (+6.5) over Lions.  The Dolphins are improving under first-year coach Jeff Hafley. Miami has covered as an underdog each of the last four weeks. The Dolphins outscored the Jets and Patriots 34-10 in the first half the last two weeks, and the Lions are in a let-down spot after NFC North victories against the Packers and Vikings. Detroit is 1-2 S/U on the road this year. Jared Goff – who has 1,964 yards, 15 TDs and one interception – continues his brilliant season, and Jahmyr Gibbs enjoys a fourth straight 100-yard game, but Miami hangs around at home. Pick: Lions 31, Dolphins 21):  https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-picks-predictions-week-9/9476f08ddd08fde680e79351

Pro Picks: Bills will beat the Vikings in Monday night showdown between 6-1 teams (DETROIT (5-2) at MIAMI (1-6) - Line: Lions minus 7.  Detroit’s defense made significant improvements during a three-game winning streak, allowing just 17.7 points per game. But the Lions have lost key players to injury, including All-Pro linebacker Jack Campbell. The Dolphins made things tough for the Patriots and covered the spread last week. Small victories for a rebuilding team.  LIONS: 26-20):  https://apnews.com/article/picks-odds-nfl-ea3582d6c494058bab8ca0f54c03140a

CBS Prisco (Detroit Lions (-7) at Miami Dolphins - Sunday, 1 p.m. on Fox (Stream: Fubo -- try for free).  This is a tough trip for the Lions coming off two home division victories, and it's against a young team playing much better. But this is a big challenge for the Miami defense. The Lions can score in bunches and I think they will in this one.

Football Meteorology For NFL Week 9 (Detroit Lions at Miami Dolphins (+7): Detroit could be without as many as four defensive starters and a couple of key reserves, too. That offers a little light for the Dolphins at home, but there’s a better chance the light at the end of that tunnel is a Lions offensive freight train coming their way. The Jared Goff-ense should light up the sky against the NFL’s worst over-the-top and play-action pass defense.  Lions 38, Dolphins 22):  https://football.realgm.com/analysis/3734/Football-Meteorology-For-NFL-Week-9

Predicting upsets in Week 9 of NFL season (Miami Dolphins beat the Detroit Lions - The Dolphins aren’t a great team by any stretch of the imagination, but Jeff Hafley has this young group playing hard every week. The Lions defense has improved slightly lately, but it’s still a leaky unit that can allow big plays.   The general consensus is that the Lions will win by a touchdown or more, but we think Miami can pull it out if they make a few key splash plays. Malik Willis will need to use his legs more this week, and Ollie Gordon is going to have to run hard to keep Detroit’s offense off the field.  The way the Dolphins play, this game should be lower scoring than what the Lions are used to. While Detroit has won two straight lower-scoring games, we think this is one they may let get away.  Final Score: Dolphins 25 – Lions 24):  https://www.thebiglead.com/predicting-upsets-week-9-nfl-season-2026/

Athlonsports Easterling (26. Detroit Lions - Ashton Hampton | CB | Clemson:  Even before they had to move on from a recent first-round pick in Terrion Arnold, the Lions already had depth issues in the secondary, and now they need to find a new No. 1 corner. Hampton has an ideal combination of size and length for the position, and he’s shown impressive technique and competitiveness so far this season. If he continues to make the most of his physical tools while showing all of those intangible traits, he could quickly become the best corner on this roster.)

Walter Football Charlie (26. Ashton Hampton , CB, Clemson :  The Lions' terrible cornerback play is a result of Brad Holmes decisions like drafting Hendon Hooker instead of Tyrique Stevenson, selecting Terrion Arnold over Nate Wiggins or Kamari Lassiter, and signing D.J. Reed instead of re-signing Carlton Davis. Detroit badly needs cornerback talent. In 2026, Hampton has 19 tackles, one interception, and nine passes broken up thus far. To open 2026, on the second play of the blowout loss to LSU, Hampton had a nice interception of Sam Leavitt. Hampton was excellent versus Miami, showing the speed and twitch to cover the ultra-fast Malachi Toney. That was a huge tape for Hampton to show he can run with speed receivers. Hampton (6-3, 204) is a big cover corner who is long and physical. In 2025, he totaled 45 tackles with eight passes broken up and an interception. He had 27 tackles with two interceptions and five breakups as a freshman.) (11-5-26):  https://walterfootball.com/draft2027charlie.php?rbBot

AtoZ Sports DeLeone and Roberts (26. Detroit Lions: CB Ellis Robinson IV, Georgia:  Detroit gets one of the better values of the entire first round by landing Robinson at No. 26.  The Lions need to continue adding talent to their secondary, and Robinson has the potential to become an important piece of that group. Detroit has built its identity around playing physically and competing at every level of the defense. Adding a talented cornerback who can develop into a starting option fits that philosophy.)

USA Today Middlehurst-Schwartz (24. Detroit Lions – Jamari Johnson, TE, Oregon:  Bypassing a cornerback here might be seen by many as malpractice. But Lions general manager Brad Holmes has never been one to be boxed in by positional constraints, and it seems unlikely he'd stray from his ways with the top options in the secondary already accounted for. If Sam LaPorta's contract talks with Detroit reach a breaking point, Johnson could offer the offense a path forward, as Jared Goff would surely come to appreciate his reliability over the middle.)

Walter Football Walt (26. Ashton Hampton, CB:  The Lions have major problems defending the pass, so they'll need to add talent to their secondary.  Ashton Hampton is a very big and physical cornerback. He has great speed for his size.) (11-4-26):  https://walterfootball.com/draft2027_1.php

OnSI Melo (26. Detroit Lions (5-2): Brauntae Johnson, S, Notre Dame - The Detroit Lions need significant help in the secondary. They are still allowing a league-high amount of passing yardage per contest. Notre Dame safety Brauntae Johnson possesses the size required to play as an enforcer, but also doubles as a ballhawk who registered four interceptions last season.)

SI Manzano (21. Detroit Lions (3–2): Devan Thompkins, edge, Alabama:  The USC transfer has made the most of the extra attention he’s gotten from playing next to Yhonzae Pierre at Alabama. He’s bigger than most edge rushers (6'5", 300 pounds) and knows how to use his size and strength to his advantage. He’s a polished pass rusher who could end Detroit’s long search for a serviceable No. 2 opposite Aidan Hutchinson. Thompkins has three sacks and one forced fumble.)

PFF McGuiness (25. Detroit Lions: IOL Kade Pieper, Iowa - PFF Big Board Rank: 37.  Juice Scruggs is playing the best football of his career with the Lions this season, but he is set to become a free agent in 2027. That could make center one of Detroit's top needs heading into next season. Pieper has played right guard this season, earning PFF grades above 85.0 in both pass blocking and run blocking, and should be capable of making the move to center.)

Yahoo Tice (15. Detroit Lions — Kelley Jones, CB, Mississippi State:  As the late Owen Hart would say, "enough is enough and it's time for a change." The Lions desperately could use two things: A center (Minnesota's Greg Johnson came to mind) or a cornerback. They choose to improve one of the biggest holes in the NFL right now, even with three cornerbacks off the board. Jones has been a more consistent player to start this season and can fit in both zone or man schemes. His Inspector Gadget arms head up north to Detroit.)

Yahoo (15. Detroit Lions — Dylan Stewart, Edge, South Carolina:  Figuring out where Stewart fits in this class now — or whether he might stay in college — is trickier than it was a month ago. Stewart's suspension has raised some character questions, although it appears he's back on a track to return to playing. Stewart's production has also been somewhat underwhelming considering his rare gifts. If he can find a way to display those skills, this might be too tempting for Detroit to pass on. The Lions badly need a rusher to pair with Aidan Hutchinson.)

Athletic Baumgartner (19. Detroit Lions: Ellis Robinson IV, CB, Georgia - Detroit’s situation in the secondary is a mess right now, and few teams are as light at corner. Robinson is a bit undersized, at 6-0, 180, but he is very long and extremely fluid athletically. This could be about the first-round floor for the former five-star prospect.)

Which NFL teams should make trades before the deadline? What Barnwell expects for 18 contenders (Detroit Lions (5-2) - Positions of need: DL, LB, CB.  The Lions have seen their rivals in Chicago make a huge move in trading two first-round picks for Jeffery Simmons, and the Packers are also going to get Micah Parsons back from a torn ACL. Yes, the Lions have welcomed Brian Branch back into the lineup and will hope to get Kerby Joseph on the field in the weeks to come, but even with those two safeties in the lineup, the Lions have real questions about their defense.  Those issues were sadly exacerbated by the neck injury suffered by star linebacker Jack Campbell in the win over the Vikings on Sunday. Campbell's health is more important than any football situation, and it seems callous to talk about replacing him in the lineup. But because Campbell is one of the better linebackers in the league, the Lions will have to adjust without one of their best players on the field.  Detroit is fielding the league's fourth-best offense by points allowed per possession, so anything general manager Brad Holmes can do to help the defense would go a long way to getting the Lions to the top of the NFC North. The good news is virtually anything would be of use. A rotational edge rusher to work in with DJ Wonnum across from Aidan Hutchinson? A cover linebacker to help fill in for Campbell? A cornerback -- or even two -- to push Roger McCreary, Rock Ya-Sin and Ennis Rakestraw Jr., none of whom have looked like they are ready to start for a playoff team this season? The Lions don't want to mortgage their future, but finding the right trade would go a long way toward topping their rivals in the division.  Luxury target: In my column suggesting trades a few weeks ago, I argued for the Lions to swoop in on Khalil Mack and Donte Jackson in a deal with the Chargers to address both edge and cornerback. That would cost Detroit nearly $8 million over the remainder of the season, a not insignificant amount for any team to take on in the middle of the season. The Lions could trade more draft capital to get the Chargers to pay that total down, but the picks should be more important to Holmes than the cash at the moment.  Bargain target: Veteran cornerback Mike Hughes was with a very different version of this Lions team in 2022 before leaving for the Falcons in free agency. He has started most of his time there, but after A.J. Terrell Jr. returned from injured reserve, Hughes has been in a reserve role, including a season-low eight defensive snaps during last week's loss to the Buccaneers. He wouldn't be an obvious upgrade on any of the options in Detroit, but the 29-year-old has been a reliable low-end starter at corner for most of his time in Atlanta.):  https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50360077/2026-nfl-trade-deadline-contenders-activity-add-subtract


NFL Trade Deadline: Biggest needs for all 32 teams (Detroit Lions: Pass Rush - The Lions look to be a serious threat in the NFC, but adding another pass-rush threat to a defensive line that already features Aidan Hutchinson could help put them over the top. Moro Ojomo of the Philadelphia Eagles has disappointed in 2026 after earning PFF pass-rush grades of 82.4 and 70.6 in 2024 and 2025, respectively. But with his contract expiring, the Eagles may part with him for a Day 3 selection.  Dream Trade: Acquire Moro Ojomo for a fourth-round draft pick.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-trade-deadline-biggest-needs-for-all-32-teams

Who Are Tom Brady's Top 4 NFL MVP Candidates? The GOAT Assesses The Favorites (Jared Goff Detroit Lions - Brady: "Jared Goff. I've covered him now in back-to-back weeks. Total command of the offense. Doing such a great job distributing the ball, deep to Jameson Williams, to Amon-Ra [St. Brown]. He's got it all going."  Stats: 1,964 passing yards, 15 touchdown passes, one interception and a 110.0 passer rating (through seven games).  Odds: At +2700, Goff holds the seventh-best odds. Goff has never finished higher than five in MVP voting, but this season, he's on track for a career-high 4,770 passing yards.  Jahmyr Gibbs Detroit Lions - Brady: "Jahmyr Gibbs. 150-plus yards last week against the Vikings defense. He takes up like 92% of the rushing yards for Detroit. He's a threat to go the distance on any play."  Stats: 773 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns; 34 catches, 285 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns (through seven games).  Odds: Gibbs is at +6000, which is the 10th-best odds. It's an impressive place to be given how hard it is for running backs to win MVP. The last to do it was Adrian Peterson in 2012. Gibbs is on track for 1,880 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns.):  https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/tom-brady-nfl-mvp-candidates-josh-allen

Roll The Tape: Meet The Bears' Super Bowl X Factor; The NFL's Most Underrated WR (1. Did The Lions Crack The Code On How To Beat The Vikings' Vaunted Defense?  The Lions outsmarted Brian Flores’ impenetrable defense with a throwback formation and running game that left the Vikings defensive wizard desperately searching for answers in a pivotal division matchup this past Sunday.  Using a variation of the Power-I formation that was popularized in the 1960s, the Lions ran for 230 yards, with 164 of those yards coming in the second half. The run-heavy formation put a pair of tight ends in front of star running back Jahmyr Gibbs in the backfield, changing the math for a Vikings defense that typically overwhelms opponents with overload pressures in the form of six-plus defenders aggressively attacking gaps at the line of scrimmage.   By aligning in an offset formation with the tight ends offset to the right or left of Gibbs, the Lions added two additional gaps to the Vikings’ run fits while creating a moving target for the defenders assigned to those gaps due to the pre-snap motions and shifts of tight ends Sam LaPorta, Brock Wright and Tyler Conklin. Additionally, the unique positioning of Gibbs and Co. behind the offensive guard and tackle created an unbalanced formation with tight ends putting five or six men on one side of the center. While most unbalanced lines are set at the line of scrimmage, forcing the defense to bump over to even up the numbers, the Lions’ backfield formation and pre-snap movement (shifts or motions) kept the Vikings from aligning properly. With the Lions running a "Duo" blocking scheme (man blocking with select double teams at the line of scrimmage) and tight ends inserting into the line at various spots, the Vikings were outnumbered at the point of attack, creating huge running lanes for Gibbs and backup RB Sione Vaki on downhill plays. Although we have watched Rams HC Sean McVay and 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan utilize H-backs, tight ends and wideouts as lead blockers from exotic formations, the Lions’ clever deployment of their tight ends disrupted the Vikings’ blitz scheme by adding extra gaps to defend at the point of attack and varying where those gaps occurred on each play. For a team that had sparingly utilized "13" personnel prior to Week 7, the heavy usage (12 times for 81 rush yards; 83.3% success rate) proved to be the perfect solution to the Vikings’ ultra-aggressive tactics.  With the Lions seemingly cracking the code on the Vikings’ aggressive scheme, the rest of the league is scouring the tape to see if they can add a few throwback formations to the call sheet to keep Flores guessing and out):  https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/roll-tape-meet-bears-super-bowl-x-factor-nfls-most-underrated-wr

The Biggest Question for Every NFL Game in Week 9 (Lions (5–2) at Dolphins (1–6): Sunday, 1 p.m. ET
Will Jahmyr Gibbs continue his hot streak? Jahmyr Gibbs is one of the hottest backs in the league, ranking second in the league in rushing yards behind Bijan Robinson. He has rushed for more than 100 yards in each of his past three games, including a 153-yard effort against the Vikings to hand them their first loss of the season. The Dolphins will try to keep him from extending his 100-yard streak. They have been good in run defense, ranking sixth in EPA per run (-0.12). The Lions are heavy favorites and if they get out to a lead early, they could run the ball all day.):  https://www.si.com/nfl/biggest-question-every-game-week-9

Though the sample size is still small, Abney has allowed four receptions in coverage for 17 yards, meaning he's forfeiting just 4.3 yards per catch.
