is gearing up to D.J. Augustin Jersey  start just his third game of the season when Baltimore takes on the on Saturday. Despite that small sample size, it appears the quarterback has made quite the impre sion on those around the league as he has been selected as the AFC's fourth Pro Bowl alternate, according to . Huntley is one slot after , who he has been filling in for.So, if any of the top three quarterbacks that were voted to the Pro Bowl -- , , and -- decide they  Penny Hardaway Jersey do not want to attend or their teams are still competing in the playoffs, there's the po sibility that Huntley is tapped to participate. In fact, there's also a chance that Baltimore has two quarterbacks at Pro Bowl weekend.Given Huntley's limited action this season, it's quite surprising to see him Aaron Gordon Jersey  voted so high as a Pro Bowl alternate. The report adds that Huntley received more votes than other quarterbacks like , and , who went to the Pro Bowl last season as a rookie. It's unknown currently who the other two quarterbacks are above both Jackson and Huntley as the top two alternates, but it's a fascinating gue sing game.Huntley's placement as the fourth alternate means that he also finished higher than someone in the , or group as well. Tagovailoa led the NFL in fan voting this year but did not make the opening Pro Bowl roster.               BAL  QB  #2  CMP%70.3YDs413TD0INT2YD/Att5.58 In Markelle Fultz Jersey  his two starts this season, Huntley -- who is scheduled to be a free agent this offseason -- has completed 59.5% of his pa ses for 226 yards and an interception. He's also rushed for 46 yards. The are 1-1 with Huntley under center. His best performance, however,  Al-Farouq Aminu Jersey came during Baltimore's Week 13 win over the where he stepped in for the injured Lamar Jackson. In the winning effort, he completed 27 of his 32 pa ses for 187 yards and an interception. He also logged 41 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

has been entertaining his NFL future for years. Now, as the quarterback's 18th season draws closer to the finish line, it might be time for the to start making decisions for him. Forced into an early exit from Sunday night's lo s to the with a rib injury, the reigning MVP may or may not be back in Week 13 against the . He remains an elite talent when healthy, and his legacy is already written. But for the remainder of 2022, and perhaps for good, Green Bay should strongly consider sidelining Rodgers in favor of backup . has made the big-picture case for this: while mathematically alive in the playoff race, the Packers are  Miami Hurricanes College Jersey on the outside looking in at 4-8, with just a 1.1% chance of earning a wild card berth, projections. Love, meanwhile, has gotten precious little action outside of a single emergency start for Rodgers last year. General manager Brian Gutekunst needs to see what he has in the 2020 first-round draft pick, Jones argues, for the sake of the post-Rodgers Packers. Love is under contract through at least 2023, but without Brad Kaaya Jersey  additional experience, he'll remain an unknown at the most important position on the roster.There's an eerie parallel to the potential torch-pa sing, with Love's Sunday night appearance coming almost exactly 15 years after Rodgers first took over for an injured Brett Favre in 2007. But the reality is Rodgers' own flirtations with life beyond Green Bay -- soon to be 39, he's openly considered both retirement and a move to a new team since Love's arrival -- support an extended look at his potential succe sor. Even if Rodgers decides to return in 2023, Green Bay's struggles on both sides of the ball suggest Gutekunst could be motivated -- and maybe even smart -- to .Here's the real kicker, though: besides the long-term implications, there's a case to be made that Love gives the Packers the best chance to win right now. Let's be clear: Rodgers is still close to unmatched when it comes to physical ability at the position. His shoddy setup this year should not hide the fact he still boasts some of the best pa sing touch and precision in the game. Even with a bad thumb on Sunday, he revived some trademark play-extending magic to keep Green Bay within striking distance of the soaring Eagles.Consider, however, that Rodgers also threw two picks on Sunday. Whether or not the errors resulted in overcompensation for an offense that's too often plodded along in 2022, they brought his season interception total to nine, his worst in more than a decade. Simply put, he's been pre sing -- more so this year, stripped of former No. 1 target , than any other time in recent memory. Now, with a hurt oblique that left him wincing on even the most basic short throws, who knows whether he'll even have the strength to offset his more-desperate mentality.  Love may  Deng Gak Jersey not offer the savvy experience of his elder counterpart, and he may or may not be the future, but can his floor be that much lower than that of present-day Rodgers, on a 4-8 team averaging fewer than 20 points per game? Coming off the bench Sunday night, with no first-team reps, against the Eagles defense on the road, the Utah State product looked better than at any other point in his limited NFL career, flashing mobility and a noticeable zip on his throws. Teasing instant chemistry with recent breakout on a quick touchdown pa s to pull the Packers within seven, he has the advantage of not only a clean bill of health and fresher set of scrambling legs, but of being a clean slate for coach Matt LaFleur's offense.LaFleur has drawn praise from Rodgers this year when "simplifying" the offense  Ebuka Izundu Jersey to make up for personnel shortcomings. But there's no greater motivation for NFL teams to truly return to fundamental concepts than a QB switch. The Packers' Sunday night opponent famously rode to a Lombardi Trophy five years ago after going back to basics upon season-ending injury. LaFleur's brother, Mike, just oversaw the ' best offensive performance of 2022 by benching the big name, , for a backup capable of simply making the easy throws.That's not to say starting Love will be a cure-all. But if it means LaFleur leaning even more on the pieces Sam Waardenburg Jersey  proven to work -- , , Christian Watson -- then it's a step in the right direction for a club that's lacked a steady formula for much of the year. It might even better prepare Rodgers for whatever lies ahead in 2023, preserving the QB from further injury.  And if, somehow, an indefinite turn to Love pays off even better than expected, perhaps jolting the Packers back into the playoff race? Well then that's the best kind of problem to have in such a situation. In fact, it might be the dream scenario for fans and team bra s: a scenario in which Rodgers' succe sor truly does emerge, allowing both A-Rod and the Packers to march more clearly toward an amicable split.

NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reported hours before Super Bowl LVI was played that the and agent, CAA Football's Tom Condon, will meet to "hammer out" a contract extension this offseason. Stafford was acquired in a trade with the last March because Rams head coach Sean McVay had soured on quarterback during the 2020 season despite Goff signing a four-year contract extension averaging $33.5 million per year in 2019. Goff was included in the deal where the Lions received a 2022 first-round pick, a 2023 first-round pick and a 2021 third-round pick from the Rams. Stafford is entering the final year of his contract. He is scheduled to make $23 million in  Bob Probert Jersey 2022 consisting of a $12.5 million base salary, $10 million fifth day of the 2022 league roster bonus and a $500,000 workout bonus. The optimal timing for an extension is before Stafford's roster bonus is due on March 20. In doing so, this $10 million could become part of the signing bonus Stafford would receive in an extension and prorated over the life of the contract up to a maximum of five years, which would help lower his current $23 million 2022 salary cap number. After a stellar postseason where Stafford engineered a 15-play, 79-yard drive culminating in a Super Bowl-winning touchdown pa s with just 1:25 left to play, he has tremendous contract leverage. The phrase, "to the victor belong the spoils" is usually a sociated with politics, but is applicable to Stafford's situation. Stafford should be able to pretty much name his own price in an extension because of the steep acquisition cost to get him from the Lions and the upgrade at quarterback paying the ultimate dividend. That is provided Stafford chooses to fully exploit his leverage.   Left to his own devices, that's exactly what Condon will do on behalf of Stafford. Agents are supposed to work for the player even though it may sometimes seem as if it's the other way around. In the typical player/agent relationship, a player will give his agent input about a contract on a big-picture level initially but may not get involved in the proce s again until the final stages of a negotiation, if at all. Because of this dynamic, an agent is usually given wide latitude to negotiate a contract that he or she feels is in the client's best interest. The Rams will have a hard time persuading Condon that Stafford shouldn't at least be put in the same place Goff, who the Rams viewed as an inferior quarterback, was in the NFL salary hierarchy on his 2019 deal. Goff's four-year, $134 million extension (worth as much as $147.95 million because of incentives and salary escalators) tied him with quarterback as the league's second-highest-paid player by average yearly salary. The $110,042,682 of guarantees in the deal were an NFL record when Goff signed.  quarterback is currently No. 2 in the NFL salary hierarchy with the six-year, $258 million extension (worth a maximum of $288 million through incentives) averaging $43 million per year he received from the Bills last August. His $147,381,405 of guarantees are the most ever in an NFL contract. It's $150 million if Allen's fully guaranteed $2,618,595 2021 third  Adam Erne Men Jersey day of training camp roster bonus earned a few days before the extension was signed is included, like some people do.  Condon's sights will likely be set on Stafford becoming the NFL's highest-paid player again, which was the case with the quarterback's five-year, $135 million extension averaging $27 million per year from the Lions in 2017. It was accomplished despite a lack of postseason succe s. Stafford only made the playoffs three times (without any victories) while playing for the Lions, with the last postseason appearance occurring during the 2016 season. The deal also established new league benchmarks with a $50 million signing bonus and $60.5 million fully guaranteed at signing.  quarterback holds the honor at $45 million per year in the 10-year, $450 million extension (worth up to $475 million through incentives) he signed in 2019. quarterback $66 million signing bonus is the current benchmark in that metric. Allen leads the way with $97,381,405 fully guaranteed at signing. It's $100 million if the training camp roster bonus is included. Condon might look at the cost of playing the franchise tag game if Stafford played out his contract as further justification for eclipsing Mahomes. Quarterbacks usually get the exclusive version of the franchise tag, which prohibits the solicitation of an offer sheet from other teams. Using the cost a sociated with the nonexclusive version wouldn't make much sense because the compensation for an unmatched offer sheet -- two first-round picks from the signing team -- is le s than the draft capital the Rams gave up to get Stafford.   The 2023 quarterback exclusive franchise number, which would be the average of the top five 2023 quarterback salaries (usually salary cap numbers) at the end of that year' Chris Terry Kids Jersey s restricted free agent signing period in late April, currently projects to right around $43.5 million. This number is subject to change depending on new quarterback deals, contract restructures, pay cuts and/or releases between now and then. A second franchise tag in 2024 at an NFL collective bargaining agreement-mandated 20% increase over Stafford's projected 2023 franchise number would be $52.2 million. The average of franchising Stafford two years would be $47.85 million per year. At $47.5 million per year, Stafford would be getting 5.56% more than Mahomes' $45 million per year. It would actually be a smaller increase than when Stafford replaced quarterback as the league's highest-paid player. Stafford's 2017 deal represented an 8% increase -- $48.6 million per year would be 8% more than Mahomes' deal.The Rams' only potential saving grace on an extension might be Stafford following the lead of two other Condon quarterback clients -- Drew Brees and Peyton Manning -- in the latter stages of their respective careers. Both instructed Condon to leave money on the table. Stafford is in a financial position to do so because he has made $239 million from his NFL player contracts, according to my calculations.  Manning declined to become the NFL's first $20 million-per-year player when Condon was negotiating his final contract in 2011. He opted for a five-year deal giving the Albert Johansson Men Jersey  Colts an out after the first year that matched then-Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's $18 million-per-year average, which was tops in the NFL at that time. When Manning signed with the in 2012 after the Colts released him, 12 teams reportedly inquired about him once he became available. Manning narrowed his choices down to four teams and picked his destination before having Condon commence negotiations instead of letting him leverage the considerable interest, which reportedly included a $25 million-per-year offer from the , into a blockbuster contract. Neverthele s, he still briefly set the NFL salary bar with his five-year, $96 million deal, which lasted until Condon made Brees the NFL's first $20 million-per-year player four months later. As a 39-year-old, Brees gave the a financial break for the first time in his numerous contract dealings with the franchise in 2018 to try to maximize his opportunity to win a second Super Bowl ring. Brees probably could have become the league's first $30 million-per-year player had he exploited his leverage by exploring potential options with other teams. Instead, Brees signed a two-year, $50 million contract with $27 million fully guaranteed to remain in New Orleans after limiting negotiations to just the Saints. It is atypical for a quarterback around Stafford's age, particularly if represented by Condon, to give a hometown discount. Stafford just turned 34. A 34-year-old Eli Manning signed a market-value extension with the in 2015. became the NFL's first $30 million-per-year player with the five-year extension he received from the in 2018 shortly before his 33rd birthday. The deal also established new standards with $100 million of guarantees and $94.5 million fully guaranteed at signing.   Unle s Stafford gives Condon specific instructions to make an economic sacrifice, his reign at the top of the NFL pay scale will likely be short-lived if an extension gets done before the roster bonus is due. Any such deal Stafford gets would instantly become the salary floor for a 38-year-old Rodgers, who is also in a contract year, whether he signs an extension with the Packers or a new team if traded. The only way it doesn't happen is by Rodgers going Brees' route when he was in his late 30s, where Gordie Howe Women Jersey  he put winning a second Super Bowl ring ahead of money because of his playoff shortcomings. Rodgers' only Super Bowl appearance was during the 2010 season when the Packers beat the 31-25.

The made their 2023 debut on "Hard Knocks" Tuesday night, and unsurprisingly, . But the star quarterback turned the spotlight Magnus Paajarvi Kids Jersey  to a teammate late in the first episode, telling cornerback during Hall of Fame Game festivities that the second-year cover man will get his own gold jacket down the road."You'll be here one day," Rodgers told Gardner as this year's Hall of Fame inductees were honored. "I'll be real old and gray when that happens."It's high praise from Rodgers, especially considering Gardner, 22, is just one season into his career. But  Jaden Schwartz Jersey it's also par for the course in New York, where the longtime QB had as potentially the best cornerback in the league. The latter is fresh off a Defensive Rookie of the Year campaign in which he led the NFL with 20 pa s deflections.  As for Gardner himself, he acknowledged to Rodgers that the "plan" is  Colton Parayko Jersey to stay at the top long enough to be crowned in Canton. And not only that, but the 2022 first-round pick is prepared to play as long as Rodgers in order to do it."My mom always used to tell me to stay a kid as long as I could," the cornerback told Rodgers. "But it's like, if I'm  Carl Gunnarsson Women Jersey really gonna do this, I'm gonna be older, bro. I got aspirations of playing in the league for 40 years. I'm trying to be a 40-year-old (in the NFL)."  In the meantime, Gardner, Rodgers and the Jets will return to "Hard Knocks" on Aug. 15. They kick off their anticipated 2023 season on Sept. 11 in prime time against the  Martin Brodeur Men Jersey .

Before the 2021 NFL season, a lucrative long-term contract with the , touting a resume that could've warranted an extension worth . Now, after taking nine sacks in a lo s to the on Monday night, Mayfield's 2021 season might be over, with the quarterback and telling reporters it's time for him to evaluate "what's in the best Daryl Williams Jersey  interest of me and my health."The next question is, has Mayfield also played his last snap with the Browns? Months after looking like he might follow the ' as the second 2018 first-round QB to land a new deal, Mayfield looks as much a part of the Browns' problems as a victim of them. He's still under contract through 2022, thanks to his $18.9 million fifth-year option, but Cleveland can trade or release him without penalty. And recent offseasons have  Reid Ferguson Jersey proven that big-name QB swaps are increasingly on the table.Given coach Kevin Stefanski's (sometimes inexplicable) commitment to relying on Mayfield's battered arm this year, and the rash of injuries that helped derail the Browns' 2021 season, chances are Cleveland will opt for familiarity and give Mayfield one more audition in 2022, before potentially turning its eyes to the 2023 draft cla s or veteran market.But let's say Stefanski and general manager Andrew Berry -- who worked under the ' notoriously aggre sive Howie Roseman -- decide to shop Mayfield in hopes of an instant upgrade. Here are some potential 2022 destinations for the former No. 1 overall pick, either via trade or after release:  Matt Rhule needs to solve the QB position, like, yesterday. Which is why they probably wouldn't be involved, a year after trading picks for another first-round flame-out in . But Rhule also wants to be more of a ground-and-pound team, and Mayfield has proven, in Matt Haack Jersey  better circumstances, that he can manage games.Both Joe Judge and are apparently set to return, but why on Earth should that stop them from investing more under center, considering the lifele s way they're finishing? Mayfield would bring personality to a market desperately lacking in NFL juice right now, and he's got the old-school approach Judge would appreciate.They've got more salary-cap maneuvering to do before they can make any real moves at QB, but Sean Payton could see a higher floor with Mayfield than the alternatives -- chiefly or a rehabbing . New Orleans could (and probably should) target a rookie in the draft, but perhaps they'd prefer to win now with their defense.  This, Tyler Matakevich Jersey  of course, is dependent on relocating, which is certainly po sible after the Pro Bowler even identified preferred landing spots prior to 2021. A total rebuild would be smarter, but Pete Carroll could double down on his run-heavy preferences by inserting Mayfield (or swapping him for Ru s!) and pouring more investments into the defense.The Broncos are near the top of every " Insert QB landing spots" list by default. Is Mayfield that much of an upgrade on ? Not nece sarily. But with a better O-line and defense, you can argue otherwise. John Elway will never not sign off on a veteran fix, and GM George Paton may not be able to land , Ru sell Wilson, etc.Ron Rivera has to be growing impatient. is best off the bench. Their defense is built to compete. Mayfield brings the requisite toughne s and starting experience to lead an old-school run-heavy offense. QBs coach Ken Zampese was Mayfield's tutor as a rookie in Cleveland. And what better way to welcome in the team's new era with a former No. 1 pick under center? They're also flush with cap space.  Mayfield may not prefer it, but he knows Texas well, hailing from Austin and playing at Texas Tech. More importantly, Houston is all but certain to move on from . Third-round rookie Davis Mills has flashed this year, but letting him learn and/or compete with Matt Milano Jersey  Mayfield (before re-evaluating the 2023 QB cla s) would be more ideal. They've got more than enough money to do it.

The made history on Thursday by announcing the first-ever "Monday Night Football" flex,  with the , originally slated for that Sunday afternoon, to the following day's prime-time slot. That wasn't the only  Michael Carter-Williams Jersey change made to the schedule, as the league also revealed games for a Saturday tripleheader in Week 15.Those games, set for Dec. 16, are as follows: at  (1 p.m. ET) at (4:30 p.m Raul Neto Jersey . ET) at (8:15 p.m. ET)All three games  Justin Anderson Jersey will be broadcast on Network and available to stream on NFL+. Each of them had already been scheduled for Week 15, but their exact date and time had not been specified.  All three also have potential playoff implications. Minnesota (6- Danny Green Jersey 6) currently holds the NFC's final wild card spot, while Cincinnati (5-6) is two games back from the and Steelers in the AFC North. Pittsburgh (7-4) is battling Indianapolis (6-5) for one of the AFC's three wild card spots. And the Broncos (6-5) are just outside the current playoff picture, while the Lions (8-3) are fighting to stay in contention for the NFC's No. 1 seed  Norvel Pelle Jersey behind the Eagles (10-1) and (8-3).

After nine seasons, the arelongtime left tackle . The veteran broke the news through his podcast,," and also posted a me sage for the team's fanbase.  I hope I did enough to create something all the titan fans can be proud of, I love you Dakota Dozier Jersey  all.  Taylor Lewan (@TaylorLewan77)  "I hope I Mackensie Alexander Jersey  did enough to create something all the titan fans can be proud of, I love you all," the 31-year-old tweeted.It appeared like Lewan saw this coming, mentioning on his podcast that he expected to be released.The Titans will save some money with the cut. They will save $14,841,000 against the salary cap with no dead cap penalty by cutting the player with one year left on his contract. In 2018, Lewan signed the biggest contract Randy Moss Jersey  in history for an offensive lineman with an $80 million deal. Daunte Culpepper Jersey   Lewan joined the Titans in 2014 when the Titans drafted him in the first round with the No. 11 overall pick. He remained in Tenne see for his entire career. He started 100 of the 105 games he played with the Titans, earning three Pro Bowl honors. He was a staple on the line  Patrick Peterson Jersey during his time with the team. He did mi s some time in his nine-year stint, particularly in recent years. He was sidelined 11 games in 2020 and 15 in 2022 due to ACL tears.

With Week 15 all wrapped up outside of "Monday Night Football" between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Seattle Seahawks, we're more than three-quarters of the way though the 2023 season. First-year head coaches and Shane Steichen have the and out to 8-6 starts and very much in the mix for a wild card spot in the neck-and- Tershawn Wharton Jersey neck AFC playoff field. However, there are also plenty of head coaches on the other side of the performance spectrum. Those are the coaches who will be spotlighted here.Below, we'll rank the ones who are squarely on the hot seat and in jeopardy of losing their jobs come January. Three head coaches have already been fired this season: Josh McDaniels (Raiders), Frank Reich (Panthers) and Brandon Staley (Chargers). Here is a look at the top five coaches who fit this hot seat criteria and how they reached this point. Record in 2023:6-8 Arthur Smith is the Atlanta Falcons' offensive play-caller, but he has been resistant to going out of his way to feature the three offensive skill position players the team drafted in the top 10 in each of the last three drafts: tight end Kyle Pitts (fourth overall pick in 2021), wide receiver Drake London (eighth overall pick in 2022) and running back Bijan Robinson (eighth overall pick in 2023).In the past, Smith has said his job as an NFL head coach is about finding a way to win and not playing fantasy football. However, utilizing three of the team's most talented playmakers sure could help an offense that averages 18.4 points per game in 2023, the seventh-worst scoring offense in the league.  Atlanta's season hit a new low in Week 15, as their 9-7 lo s to the NFL's worst team, the 2-12 Carolina Panthers, will likely put an end to their NFC South division title hopes, which appears to be their only route to the postseason. The trio of Robinson, London and Pitts combined for a paltry 75 scrimmage yards in the defeat. The lo s was the Falcons' fourth when leading in the fourth quarter since the start of November, the most such lo ses in this span in the NFL.Smith's chosen quarterback, Desmond Ridder, a player whose development the team chose to prioritize over pursuing 2019 NFL MVP Lamar Jackson this past offseason, has six red zone turnovers this season, the most in the NFL. Those six giveaways inside the 20 are also tied for the third-most by any player in the last 10 seasons. A stale offense and a refusal to put the ball in the hands of his top players after three seasons without a playoff appearance could be grounds for dismi sal.Record in 2023:5-9 The Bears have lost 15 of quarterback ' last 18 starts, and their defense, Eberflus' side of the football, is allowing 23.5 points per game, the 11th-most in the NFL.  Offensively, Luke Getsy appears lost as a play-caller, leaning heavily on screen pa ses as 3.1% of their routes run this season have had a screen target, the sixth-highest rate in the NFL. Wide receiver has been electric with the ball in his hands this season, but the offense struggles to get him the rock in favorable positions on a regular basis. At this point, it's unclear if Fields can be their long-term answer at quarterback, which is partially an indictment on the coaching staff and front office for not putting Fields in better spots to succeed or at least be evaluated.The team will likely stumble into the first overall pick in the 2024 thanks to its trade down with the last April, but there's a good a chance Eberflus may not be around to see what Chicago does with that selection.Record in 2023:5-9  The 2023 season began with so much promise for the New York Jets, but as Week 15 wraps up, Gang Green's nightmare scenario has unfolded. Four-time NFL MVP, the quarterback savior New York  Joe Montana Jersey traded for in the offseason, suffered an Achilles injury four plays into the season.  With Rodgers no longer in the picture, the offense has been atrocious, averaging 14.4 points per game, the third-fewest in the league. In a game they needed win against the Dolphins in Week 15 in order to remain in playoff contention, they were embarra sed, losing 30-0. That extends the Jets run of mi sing the playoff to 13 years in a row, making theirs the longest active playoff drought in all four major North American profe sional sports leagues (NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL). Losing that poorly in a game Gang Green is a scathing indictment on how Saleh's players are feeling about the season. The dysfunction on offense is partially caused by Saleh's mismanagement of the quarterback position. He stuck withdespite his performance i sues until benching him in Week 11. Career backup quarterbackthen was declared the team's new starter for Weeks 12 and 13, but in three games this season, two starts, he has thrown for 360 pa sing yards on touchdown and four interceptions. He was then benched forin Week 13's 13-8 home lo s against the.Saleh had Wilson return to the starting lineup in Week 14. New York put together its best offensive performance of the season in Week 14 as they defeated the Houston Texans 30-6 in a game in which Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud left early with an injury. Wilson tied his season-high with two pa sing touchdowns.  Week 15 marked another confusing series of events with Gang Green's quarterback position. Wilson exited the game early toward the end of the first half at Miami with what as "dehydration." However, Wilson didn't re-enter the game as Siemian played the second half. Reporting initially indicated Wilson wasn't in the NFL's concu sion protocol, but the Jets then said he did indeed undergo testing for a concu sion. How the Jets quarterback situation has unfolded can also be heavily blamed on general manager Joe Douglas. Both the Vikings (7-7) and the Browns (9-5) made external free agent signings and/or trades to bolster their quarterback positions. Both of those teams would make the postseason if the 2023 regular season ended today. Douglas' insistence on attempting to give Wilson every opportunity to show something when he ranked dead last in the NFL in pa ser rating in both 2021 and 2022 doomed New York's offense.The offense was also done in by the offensive line Douglas constructed. Their right tackle position has been a rotating turnstile, and former first-round pick Mekhi Becton has struggled at left tackle after suffering injuries in prior seasons. The Jets' 42.3% quarterback pre sure rate allowed is the third-highest in the NFL this season. Their third-down conversion rate of 25.5% for the entire season would go down as the sixth-lowest in NFL history if the year ended today.   Saleh's  Jerick McKinnon Jersey bread and butter, the defense, has continued to be mostly a bright spot excluding Sunday, but their overall metrics have declined from last year to this year because of the offensive ineptitude. When Rodgers went down in Week 1, it was thought Saleh would be given a mulligan for this season. However, after the bungling of how to handle replacing Rodgers in 2023, Saleh's seat may be warmer than it was initially thought to be.Record in 2023:4-10The Rivera Era in Washington was never easy. He was hired in 2020, and he has dealt with uneven quarterback play for his entire tenure. He has rotated from the late Dwayne Haskins, to after his gruesome leg injury, to, , , , and presently . Rivera also had to deal with reporting to former owner Daniel Snyder, who has one of the most embattled, disliked owners in the league in years.The haven't had a winning record in any of Rivera's four seasons at the helm as their postseason appearance in his first season occurred in 2020 when Washington won the NFC East with at 7-9. They lost in the NFC wild-card round to the eventual champion .  Fast forward to this season, and it's once again not going great. Rivera fired defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio after Washington entered Week 13 allowing a league-worst 29.2 points per game. His return to calling defensive plays went poorly as Washington allowed 45 points in a 45-15 defeat to the in Week 13.The Commanders allowed 45 or more points in consecutive games for the second time in team history during Weeks 12 and 13, and the only such previous occurrence came in 1954. They have lost 10 of their last 12 games after starting 2-0. Their secondary has struggled all year, allowing eight pa sing touchdowns of 50 yards or longer, which is the most by any team in the last 30 seasons. Their 30.2 points per game allowed acro s the entire season overall ranks dead last in the NFL.First-round pick cornerback , the 16th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, has been benched and was inactive for the lo s against the Dolphins in Week 13. He only played six defensive snaps in Washington's 28-20 lo s at the Rams in Week 15. Another Commanders corner, , is also struggling. His 828 pa sing yards allowed  Chris Jones Jersey are the most in the NFL this season. Washington needs a reset, and with a new ownership group in town, Rivera is likely to be shown the door once the season ends.  Record in 2023:3-11 Belichick's defense is league average in 2023, allowing 21.4 points per game, making the unit the No. 16 scoring defense in the NFL. However, the offense that he built -- Belichick is also the de facto general manger -- is the worst in football, averaging an NFL-worst 13.3 points per game.That has led to New England becoming the first team to lose three consecutive games with 10 or fewer points allowed since the 1938 Chicagodid so nearly 100 years ago. This stretch occurred from Weeks 10-13 in lo ses versus the Colts (10-6 in Week 10), at the Giants (10-7 in Week 12) and versus the Chargers (6-0 in Week 13). Theare 1-3 in 2023 when allowing 10 or fewer points in a game while the other 31 teams are a combined 53-0. After the 6-0 home lo s in Week 13 against the struggling, who would eventually fire head coach Brandon Staley, the team has been shut out twice this season, the first time that has happened in a season of Belichick's career.During theera, the Patriots were shut out twice in 20 seasons, including the postseason. The 3-11 start is the worst of Belichick's coaching career and the Patriots' worst 14-game start since going 3-11 in 1993, a season before owner Robert Kraft bought the team in 1994. The 11 lo ses are tied for the  L'Jarius Sneed Jersey most in season under Bill Belichick in his head coaching career, matching the lo s totals from his 1995 season with the Cleveland Browns and his first season with the Patriots in 2000.  Given Belichick won an NFL-record six Super Bowls for New England, he has had some leeway in the post-Brady era, but outside of a 10-7 year in 2021, New England has had a losing record in three of the four years Brady has been gone. Between the lack of on-field succe s and the poor roster construction that has forced Belichick to go on multiple free agency spending sprees to paper over bad draft cla ses, his time may be running out in New England. indicates Kraft has already made that call and is just waiting for the season to conclude.
