Week 9 started with the Pittsburgh Steelers facing off against the Tennessee Titans on Thursday and ended with the showdown between Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals. From the Week 9 start to the end, multiple surprising and amusing events occurred that are drawing the attention of football enthusiasts. The top 5 are:

1. Jason Kelce screamed in the face of a Cowboys defender!

The Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce was seen screaming in the face of the Dallas Cowboys defender Damone Clark in the first half.

During the second quarter, Kelce blocked Clark, and the two got face-to-face. To everyone’s surprise, Kelce held onto Clark’s shoulder pads, tilted his head back, and yelled loudly in his face.

2. A dance move by the Colts’ owner!

The Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay went wild in the locker room following his team’s win. He shared a tweet of him dancing on the track “Dreams and Nightmares” by Meek Mill.

The Colts won 27-13 over the Carolina Panthers, marking their first win after three consecutive losses. Hence, it’s obvious for Irsay to celebrate a much-awaited victory with some dance moves along with the whole team.

3. A whimsical debut of Antonio Pierce!

Just after the NFL trade deadline, the Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis fired the ex-head coach Josh McDaniels. He promoted the linebacker coach Antonio Piece to an interim coach position for the team to replace McDaniels. In Sunday’s game against the New York Giants, his coaching debut proved effective for the team as they won with a score of 30-6.

Right after the game, Pierce delivered his energetic and impassioned speech in the locker room and celebrated the victory with the team. The new coach told his team, “I’ll see you motherf**kers on Wednesday!!”

The team will meet in their practice session on Wednesday for their upcoming matchup against the New York Jets on November 12.

4. Was Patrick Mahomes targeted?

Although the Kansas City Chiefs had a blazing win on Sunday over the Miami Dolphins, the Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes was reportedly pushed by the Phins’ players. The Red Sea was on their own 43-yard-line on third down-and-nine in the third quarter.

During the game, when Mahomes ran for nine yards, and as soon as his foot hit the out-of-bounds, the 28-year-old was struck by the Phins linebacker Jaelan Phillips. Consequently, Mahomes fumbled on the sidelines, dashing into the people standing there. However, surprisingly, the refs didn’t call a penalty on the hit, which fumed the Chiefdom.

5. Saints QB Jameis Winston made the day of 20 women!

The New Orleans Saints recorded a win over the Chicago Bears with 24-17. To make the team’s victory even more special, the Saints QB Jameis Winston made the day of 20 women who especially attended the game to meet the quarterback and see their favorite team win in the Week 9 matchup.

The Chiefs kept their winning streak of regular-season international games, following 2015 London and 2019 Mexico City. After Kirk Cousins‘ injury, QB Joshua Dobbs made his Vikings debut with a 31-28 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Furthermore, the Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson returned to play after missing three of the last four games with a rotator cuff strain and led the team to a dominant victory, whitewashing the Arizona Cardinals.
