NFL hot seat watch, Week 13: Who is feeling the heat?

Nathaniel Hackett better hope for a Little Giants miracle to still ride with Denver
For those who are unfamiliar with the Rick Moranis and Ed O’Neill cinematic masterpiece Little Giants, you are missing out. In the latest example of life imitating art, Nathaniel Hackett’s Denver Broncos may need to absorb Andy Reid’s Kansas City Chiefs for him to get a second season. One time, Danny O’Shea did beat big brother Kevin in a bike race. Too bad huddling has been a issue…
While there was something pure about Junior Floyd tossing rolls of toilet paper into a shopping cart in an Ohioan grocery aisle, the antithesis of that is self-proclaimed “Mr. Unlimited” doing high knees for four hours in the aisle of a transatlantic flight while all of his teammates were trying to sleep.

Arizona is almost as bad as the LA Rams, but Kliff Kingsbury remains ringless

Although the Los Angeles Rams are half a game worse than them in the NFC West standings at 3-8, Sean McVay and company did win the Super Bowl back in February. While this year’s big game will be in Glendale, we will not be getting a three-peat of the hometown team being able to hoist the Lombardi Trophy in early February. Michael Bidwill will need to find his franchise a head coach.
If there are any in-season terminations left, the smart money should be on Kingsbury in Arizona.
