Week 9 Quick Reads

The Atlanta Falcons opened Week 9 with an explosive 43-28 win over Tampa Bay on Thursday night, a fireworks show that set the tone for a weekend full of shootouts. That includes Indianapolis' 31-26 win in Green Bay, the Raiders 30-20 victory over Denver to claim first place in the AFC West on Sunday night, and the Chargers' spectacular 43-35 win over Tennessee. For sheer number of offensive plays that produced massive chunks of yardage in one snap, though, it's hard to beat New Orleans' 41-23 win over San Francisco. DuJuan Harris had runs of 16 and 19 yards for the 49ers, while Colin Kaepernick had completions of 20, 22, 31, 31, 47, and 65 yards.
