NFL Week 9 Early Games Open Thread

Greetings, Raider fans! The Great Raiderdamus is here to welcome you to Week 9 of this NFL season, which is somehow already half over. Where has the year gone? While we wait for the big clash between our Raiders and the despicable and dastardly Denver Broncos tonight, we will have some other games to whet our appetites.

Ben Roethlisberger is apparently a T-1000 because he's come back from a serious injury and will be starting today in Baltimore. I expect him to return immediately to his dominant ways against a reeling Ravens team. The Browns let one slip away against the New York Jets last week that they should have won, but will the Cowboys be looking past Cleveland today? You may laugh, but this could be a trap game for Jerry's Kids.

Here's the early slate of games for today:

Pittsburgh at Baltimore

Dallas at Cleveland

Jacksonville at Kansas City

New York Jets at Miami

Philadelphia at New York Giants

Detroit at Minnesota

As always, stay tuned to Silver and Black Pride for all the finest Raiders news and notes.
