Each week in the NFL we see upsets on the schedule. It's part of the beauty that is football and it makes the games so much fun to pay attention to. But which teams should be on alert for this week? Here are five teams that are on upset alert heading into Week 9 of the NFL season.
5. Los Angeles Chargers, @ Cleveland Browns The Browns knocked off the Baltimore Ravens last week with backup quarterback Jameis Winston under center. He will get the start once again for Cleveland and look to continue getting this offense on track.
The Chargers are 4-3 on the season and a win could go a long way toward a potential playoff run. But if they aren't careful, the former No. 1 overall pick in Winston could lead the Browns to their second straight win.
4. Minnesota Vikings, vs Indianapolis Colts The Vikings have dropped two straight games in a row and suddenly look vulnerable in the NFC. They get a matchup with the Colts who just benched starting quarterback Anthony Ricardson but that could be for the better.
Veteran Joe Flacco has played better this year and the offense looked much more polished with him under center. Flacco can lead Indianapolis to a road win over Minnesota so the Vikings will need to not overlook this Colts team. 3.
Cincinnati Bengals, vs Las Vegas Raiders The Raiders haven't been very good this year but they have been feisty. They play with an attitude and if Cincinnati isn't careful here, an upset could take place. The Bengals are likely to be without star wide recei.
