Week 9 delivered overtime drama, last-play finishes and a run of high-scoring games across the USFFL.

Week 9 Recap

The Baltimore Ravens, coached by John Fries, beat the Miami Dolphins, coached by Jon Shoemaker, 41-34 in overtime. Miami led 34-31 with one second remaining, but Tyler Loop’s 42-yard field goal forced overtime. Snoop Huntley then directed the opening overtime drive and hit Zay Flowers for the winning 23-yard touchdown; Flowers finished with 11 receptions, 174 yards and two touchdowns.

The Cincinnati Bengals, coached by Jeff Wendlandt, edged the Chicago Bears, coached by Mike Martin, 31-28 after six lead changes. Chicago outgained Cincinnati, but four interceptions and costly penalties proved decisive. A defensive holding call extended Cincinnati’s final scoring drive, and the Bengals converted the two-point try before their fourth interception ended Chicago’s last push.

The Pittsburgh Steelers, coached by Peter Shibley, rallied past the Indianapolis Colts, coached by Tony Telleria, 24-23 on Chris Boswell’s 36-yard field goal as time expired. Indianapolis led 20-7 after three quarters and regained a 23-21 edge with 3:36 left, but Aaron Rodgers drove Pittsburgh into range on the final possession. Jonathan Taylor rushed for 119 yards for Indianapolis, while Jaylen Warren ran for 118 for Pittsburgh.

The Kansas City Chiefs, coached by Tim Ervin, held off the Buffalo Bills, coached by Zach Zalesne, 31-30. James Cook’s late touchdown brought Buffalo within one, but Kansas City stopped the two-point conversion attempt with a minute left. Isiah Pacheco’s goal-line touchdown on fourth-and-goal had put the Chiefs ahead for good.

The Dallas Cowboys, coached by Bruce Mogg, outlasted the Arizona Cardinals, coached by John Carter, 45-42 in a game with more than 800 combined yards. After Dallas took a three-point fourth-quarter lead, an Arizona fumble in its own territory set up Jake Ferguson’s second touchdown catch and a two-score margin that the Cardinals could not overcome.

The San Francisco 49ers, coached by Rich Peers, escaped the New York Giants, coached by Scott Kaplan, 42-39. The teams traded blows throughout, but a Giants fumble on the play after an interception return created the extra possession San Francisco needed. Christian McCaffrey rushed for 135 yards and three touchdowns, while Jaxson Dart threw for 304 yards and five scores for New York.

The Los Angeles Rams, coached by Scott Schumacher, beat the New Orleans Saints, coached by Dan Suhr, 38-24. A 52-yard Matthew Stafford-to-Puka Nacua completion from the Rams’ own 7 set up Stafford’s 41-yard touchdown pass to Davante Adams on the next snap, turning a close second quarter into a 24-10 halftime lead.

The Green Bay Packers, coached by Scott Mueller, held off the Carolina Panthers, coached by Jess Geller, 20-13. Christian Watson’s 51-yard touchdown reception gave Green Bay a 17-0 second-quarter lead, and Brandon McManus’s fourth-quarter field goal answered Carolina’s rally.

Game of the Week: Baltimore 41, Miami 34 (OT)

Miami’s 27-yard field goal with 1:37 left appeared set to decide the game, but Baltimore’s final regulation drive reached the Miami 25 with one second on the clock. Loop tied it from 42 yards, and Huntley took over in overtime, completing the winning strike to Flowers. Miami’s answer reached midfield before three straight plays to De’Von Achane stalled the drive; a fourth-and-six pass fell short. Achane still posted 193 rushing yards on 22 carries, while Flowers supplied the game-breaking receiving performance.
