NFL Week 9 features a Thursday night test in Baltimore, an international game in Madrid and a full Sunday slate before Buffalo travels to Minnesota on Monday night. Here is the published schedule in Eastern Time, with matchups and U.S. broadcast windows.
Week 9 runs from Thursday, November 5, through Monday, November 9. The international fixture sends Cincinnati and Atlanta to Madrid, while several division matchups—including Packers–Patriots and Cardinals–Seahawks—could influence the playoff picture as the season moves into November.
