Prior to the season, Kirk Cousins might have gotten you a first-round draft pick in trade bait.
At this point, you'd be lucky to get a 7th round pick for him.

I remember some time at the beginning of the season, someone mentioned that if Kirk Cousins was really good and ready to lead a team as a starting QB, Kyle Shanahan probably would've had the Browns trade for him during this year's draft as they really didn't have a QB then. If anyone in the NFL knew how good Cousins really was, it would've been K. Shanahan.

So the Dolphins beat the Patriots and folks said they were clearly in decline. The Dolphins beat the Raiders and they fired their coach. The Dolphins beat the Bears and there was apparently a fight in the Bears locker room.
I'm not sure how to feel about this.

It reminds me of a few years ago where (I think) three teams fired their coaches after losing to the Maple Leafs. (I think it was also the same season where the Leafs played against an inordinate number of backup goalies.)

Peyton Manning just keeps on rolling, and the St. Louis Rams bust out some "EA Madden" plays.

Between yesterday's Tigers game and today's Rams game, Missouri is currently the special teams capital of the US.
