Almost everything went wrong for the Chiefs, and they lost by 1 without their second and third-best players. But, they're without Jones because they haven't paid him, and entered the season with an actually bad WR group despite free agents wanting to go there. Slim margins.

Anthony Richardson's catchable ball rate is fascinating. Of the 91 charted QBs, only 1 (Marino) had a higher drop rate by his WRs. The only QB better at avoiding sacks was Philip Rivers. Had 5th least attempts under 10 yards. Overall accuracy resembles Geno, Kyler, Pickett

Daboll and Wink together would be *nasty*. Daboll’s experience with Tua should help. He’s not the type to run one type of offense, he melds his scheme to his available talent. Wink is also the type to maximize talent through aggressiveness and scheme

Several league sources believe Bills OC Brian Daboll is the favorite to be the Miami Dolphins' next head coach. If Daboll takes that job, Dan Quinn & Brian Flores are the leading contenders to be the Giants' next head coach, to me. NYG's done significant work on both.
