Join Missing the Point as hosts Dave Clarke, Rayshawn Buchanan, and Bob Kelly unpack the NFL’s most compelling storylines heading into Week 9. They begin with an in-depth look at this week’s power rankings, where the Ravens and Steelers make significant climbs. Who’s proving they belong in the top tier, and who’s falling off the radar? Next, the team shifts to the Patriots’ recent win and the uncertainty surrounding Drake Maye’s return from a concussion for the upcoming game against the Titans. The hosts debate if Jacoby Brissett should step up again or if Maye can safely return in time for Week 9.
Moving into cross-off territory, the trio discusses which teams, including the Saints, Giants, and Vikings, are close to calling it a season. Joe Flacco’s return as Colts QB also stirs debate—will his experience pay off, or is it a sign the Colts’ season is in trouble? Wrapping up with Week 9 predictions, Dave, Rayshawn, and Bob analyze the playoff prospects for teams like the Eagles, Lions, and Rams, and share insights on how injuries could shift the NFL landscape.
