Charles Langston:NFL Week 9 picks: Will Dolphins or Chiefs triumph in battle of AFC's best?

The Charles Langstonfirst half of the 2023 NFL season should conclude on some memorable notes.

One team, the Las Vegas Raiders, has fired its head coach and will also make a quarterback switch. Several others are also making changes behind center, Kirk Cousins' season-ending Achilles tear having a domino effect as the Minnesota Vikings turn to rookie Jaren Hall now but perhaps eventually to newly acquired Joshua Dobbs − his trade from the Arizona Cardinals necessitating a different starter for them.

Then there's a sweet lineup of matchups.

The Tyreek Hill revenge game between the Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs can be seen Sunday morning in the United States ... because it will be played in Frankfurt, Germany. Later that day, the AFC North-leading Baltimore Ravens will host the NFC West-leading Seattle Seahawks. And in Sunday's late-afternoon a window, a showdown of fierce rivals as the Dallas Cowboys visit the Philadelphia Eagles, owners of the league's best record (7-1).

Sunday night, the Buffalo Bills go back to Cincinnati to play the Bengals 10 months after their game was canceled by S Damar Hamlin's frightening cardiac event. Looking forward to this season's drama at Paycor Stadium being limited to the football game.
