    Here’s a story about how Garrett Wilson, with a small act of kindness, brought some light to a 17-year-old fan who had just recently experienced the loss of her best friend. On their interaction after the Bears game, and what it meant to a grieving family:

    Reunion! The Colts are trading three-time Pro Bowl DL DeForest Buckner to the 49ers for a 2027 fourth-round pick, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports. Buckner came to San Francisco as the No. 7 overall pick in the 2016. A decade later, he’s back.

    Feels like the Jets are headed toward a possible future with at least two Top-10 picks in the upcoming draft.

    I know Jets fans are angry right now — but it should be said that this year’s rookie class is panning out already in a really fun way. David Bailey: 5.5 sacks, 9 QB hits, 3 forced fumbles in seven games Kenyon Sadiq: 2 TDs, 100-yard game, talented enough that fans are already mad he’s not getting the ball more Omar Cooper: Back to back 100-yard/TD games. Looks like the real deal. Darrell Jackson: Already looking like a good find on Day 3. Should play more depending on how long Sweat is out. D’Angelo Ponds is going to see his role increase. He’s learning nickel on the job so expect some bumps — but the talent is there if he can figure out a new position on the fly.

    RT @samwarren83: Kubiak's full statement: "I'm gonna let you guys know that Kirk is our starting quarterback. There is no controversy. Kirk is playing at a very high level. And got to continue to do that for us to win. We've got to keep helping all the areas around him. So I'm excited for him to go play here against the Jets."

    Klint Kubiak said Kirk Cousins is the Raiders starting quarterback. "There is no controversy."

    On the two minute decision-making, Aaron Glenn said if the Jets called timeout and then the Dolphins got a first down they could run the clock out.

    Aaron Glenn won't address why Jarvis Brownlee was a healthy scratch. Said they're keeping it in house.

    Aaron Glenn on being outscored 107-6 in two minute situations: "The thing is, we're trying. We're trying ... we just gotta improve on our execution. I have to improve on how we manufacture these things. It's a process of getting these things done."

    Aaron Glenn: "There's some things I did think we did a better job." Highlighted the offense moving up the field and scoring and said the defense played better after halftime.

    Great breakdown of how the Jets should've handled the end of half. Going into halftime with all three of your timeouts after entering this scenario honestly might be the most baffling two-minute decision-making of the AG era.
    Ryan Paganetti @RyanPaganetti
    How the Jets could have handled the final 2 minutes of the 1st half differently: Malik Willis scrambles for a 1st down in bounds. Jets could have called timeout here at 1:53. It is also reasonable if they want to wait for the next in bounds play to start calling timeouts. 1st and 10 handoff to Gordon ends at 1:10 in bounds. Definitely would have called a timeout here. By not calling timeout, you are effectively guaranteeing the Dolphins get the final meaningful possession of the first half. From this point on, you would call timeout after each in bounds play to give yourself a plausible path to getting the ball back. There is still a chance the Dolphins run the whole half out, but you at least leave an opening to get it back. Say they had called timeout at 1:10. They would then call timeout at 1:03 after the Dulcich play down to the 5 yard line. Down to one timeout left. Miami throws incomplete on 1st and goal. DPI and new 1st down. Took 4 seconds off the clock so assume the clock now reads 59 seconds. Miami runs on 1st and goal from the 1. Stuffed. Jets would call their final timeout here. 55 seconds left. Miami scores on 2nd down. Would leave 49 seconds left for the Jets. Yes, Miami may have handled the sequence differently if the Jets had used their timeouts. The principle still stands that there was no chance of any real time left based on how the Jets handled it.

    The Dolphins scored a 63-yard touchdown on this play. Poor tackling effort by Minkah Fitzpatrick ... and Demario Davis and David Bailey lightly bumped into each other and stopped running.

    The Jets had: - A RB rush for 100 yards. - A WR go for 100 receiving yards. - A QB throw three TDs. - An offense gain 377 yards. - Four Red Zone drives on offense, and another that got to the 23 - A defense that held their opponent to seven points in the second half And they still lost to the 0-5 Dolphins.

    After embarrassing loss to Dolphins, it’s become hard to believe Aaron Glenn will fix the Jets.

    My takeaway from the Jets locker room today is that this feels like a group that's at a loss for words at this point. Not a lot of guys who had a whole lot to say.
