There's no shortage of quality matchups looming in Week 9.
The Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs will square off in Germany in a battle of two 6-2 AFC teams; the Seattle Seahawks and Baltimore Ravens will meet in a cross-conference clash; and the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles will duke it out in the NFC East.
Sunday Night Football will pit two AFC giants against one another, too. After a lackluster start, the Cincinnati Bengals have won three in a row as Joe Burrow looks sharp again after a calf problem. Their most recent win was on the road versus the San Francisco 49ers, which they won 31-17 and finally resembled a Super Bowl-quality team.
The Buffalo Bills are 5-3 after beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24-18 on Thursday Night Football. It ended closer than Buffalo probably would've liked, but it keeps the squad close with the AFC East-leading Dolphins.
Both teams need a win to keep pace in their respective divisions, and it should make for an enthralling atmosphere. Here's how to watch:

How many times have Joe Burrow and Josh Allen played each other?
Besides the regular-season game on Jan. 2, 2023 in which Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest that cancelled the contest, Burrow and Allen have faced off just once.
That game came a mere weeks later in the divisional round when Burrow and Co. won 27-10 in Buffalo. Burrow posted 242 passing yards on 23 of 36 completions for two touchdowns and no picks while Allen struggled, completing 25 of 42 passes for 264 yards, no touchdowns and a pick. He did score a rushing touchdown, though.
