Another NFL Monday, another in-season coach firing—our third of this year. So let’s start there …
• Go back and watch the last minute of the Monday night opener again. See Russell Wilson with eyes trained on the field, only turning his head to the sideline for the play call. Look at the expressions of resignation on the faces of the Broncos coaches. Follow all of it as time ticks off on fourth-and-5, bleeding a clock with over a minute left down to 20 seconds. Then, check out how calmly Wilson calls the timeout with the play-clock hitting zero.
In the days after that game, I had a couple coaches point all of it out to me. More confirmed they saw the same thing when I reached out and asked.
