Concerns about the progress of Week 4 of the National Football League (NFL) began on Wednesday (28/9), as the main prime-time game of the round is scheduled to be played in Florida, a region hit by the Hurricane. Ian. Even with the storms, Sunday Night Football between Tampa Bay and Kansas City must indeed be played at the Bucs’ home.
A team from Florida entered the field this Thursday (29/9), even though they were playing away from home. The Miami Dolphins were the only undefeated team in the American Conference (AFC) after three rounds and faced a difficult game beyond the circumstances they experience with natural tragedy. The showdown against the Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium ended 27-15 for the reigning Super Bowl runners-up (i.e. AFC champions), now with two wins and two losses.
Home quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 287 yards (69% passing accuracy) and two touchdowns. On the Dolphins side, the concussion suffered by starting pitcher Tua Tagovailoa shook the team and the player needed to be replaced by Teddy Bridgewater, who threw 178 yards, a touchdown and was intercepted in an opportunity.
One more attraction of this round is the transcontinental game that takes place annually. The New Orleans Saints will play as a home team at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (where the former White Hart Lane was), in London, against the Minnesota Vikings, starting at 10:30 am on Sunday (2/10). The Louisiana team is going through a bad phase in the Southern Division of the National Conference, with two defeats and one victory, the opposite of rivals in the confrontation in England, leaders of the northern partition of the same conference.
In Baltimore, at M&T Bank Stadium, the Ravens host the Buffalo Bills at 2 pm on Sunday. It is one of the most anticipated games of the week, as the teams show themselves with two of the most potent attacks in the competition and with the main candidates at the moment for the best player in the NFL. The crows and the cattle have in their quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen their hopes for great exploits in 2022.
The cruel doubt of the round is based on one of the most awaited games of the season. In a rematch of Super Bowl LV, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set to host the Kansas City Chiefs at Raymond James Stadium at 9:20 pm on Sunday (2). This even with the city being severely damaged by Hurricane Ian.
During the week, the Bucs practiced in Miami to avoid a stay in their own city during the severe storm. Institutionally, the information is that the seat of the game remains maintained, and can be changed throughout the course of the round, since the match is the penultimate match of the Week. The other team from Florida (the Jacksonville Jaguars), luckily on the calendar, plays away from home, against the Philadelphia Eagles, at 2 pm on the same day.
