Week 9 of the 2026 NFL season started slowly, but the 1 p.m. game ended up offering plenty of excitement, led by the Cleveland Browns and New Orleans Saints forcing overtime after combining for six points in the first half. Shedeur Sanders lost his first start of the year, playing in place of Deshaun Watson, who was out after spending the week in the NFL’s concussion protocol, although he showed some bright spots, including two long passing touchdowns. He found tight end Harold Fannon for a 39-yard score on the final drive in overtime with just over a minute left, but a failed 2-point conversion gave the Saints the victory. The afternoon matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Indianapolis Colts was also surprisingly competitive, as Indy held a three-point lead with just 1:49 remaining. However, Dak Prescott & Co. cheered and pushed their way into Colts territory with a 46-yard catch from Ryan Flournoy. Running back Javonte Williams punctuated the drive with a goal-line touchdown, and the Cowboys regained the lead on a successful PAT by kicker Brandon Aubrey. However, the moment was too much for Daniel Jones as he threw an interception after recovering the ball with just over a minute left. Ball game. We still have a lot of action left in the afternoon.
