Week 8 of the NFL season kicked off with the Baltimore Ravens defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-22 on Thursday Night Football.

The Kansas City Chiefs have the week off. They’ll next play the Tennessee Titans in Week 9’s Sunday Night Football matchup on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Chiefs are favored by 10.5 points.

Elsewhere in the AFC West this weekend, the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-5) will host the Denver Broncos (2-5) at London’s Wembley Stadium to kick off Sunday’s action at 8:30 a.m. Arrowhead Time. (This International Series game will be carried on ESPN). Then in Sunday’s early games, the Las Vegas Raiders (2-4) will be in the Big Easy to play the New Orleans Saints (2-5).
