Thursday Night Football’s prime-time game between the Miami Dolphins and the Baltimore Ravens is set to kick off Week 9 of the 2025-26 NFL season.
The Miami Dolphins are currently 2-6 and are coming off a surprising win over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 8, while the Baltimore Ravens are 2-5 after a win over the Chicago Bears last week.

This game will be an interesting one as both teams are in need of a win. Both teams are in danger of missing the playoffs with 5 and 6 losses, respectively. However, Miami will most likely be without Ashtyn Davis and Julian Hill, which is another blow heading into the Week 9 TNF game.
