Let’s cap a wild weekend right here, right now …
• Gotta start by looking at the wild Patriots-Raiders finish one last time. Making calls Sunday, I explained the play to one coach who hadn’t seen it, and as I described how it unfolded, he immediately pointed out to me how the play Chandler Jones made was actually incredibly solid situational football. And so I talked to Jones last night, and wrote about that for The MMQB, and caught up with Josh McDaniels today to get more details.
As McDaniels sees it, the brilliance of Jones’s catch-and-score was in how he mentally toggled from being in one situation at the snap to being in another one that no one on the field had planned for about halfway through the play.
