“That sort of thing happens all the time to Super Bowl teams,” a former scouting director tells FanSided. “Head coach believes he deserves to make personnel choices, and the GM wants to determine who plays.”Buffalo Bills Face Masks

Having Tom Brady behind center, after passing for 40 touchdowns, his most since 2007, is certainly an advantage.

According to Over the Cap, the Texans are projected to be at $17.8 million over the estimated 2021 salary cap. Caserio will have ways to decrease that number, as the Texans have several veteran players on bloated contracts. One of the first decisions he will have is what to do with defensive end J.J. Watt, who is owed $17.5 million in 2021, the last year of his contract. Watt’s salary is not guaranteed, and he has said several times since the Texans were eliminated from playoff contention that he’s not certain he will be back in Houston.

O’Brien tried -- and failed -- to create a winner around Watson, instead trading away key playmakers after the Texans fired former general manager Brian Gaine in June 2019. And while several other former Patriots executives and coaches tried to make it on their own and failed, Caserio has a true franchise quarterback in place, as the Patriots had in six-time Super Bowl champ Tom Brady.Indianapolis Colts Face Masks

That works out to an average of 24.6 pass-rush snaps per game for Hendrickson, which translates into 8.1 more games’ worth of opportunities for Donald to go chase quarterbacks around on a Sunday afternoon. In other words, Donald effectively played a season and a half more of football than Hendrickson, at least in terms of their pass-rush opportunities. And the Saints defensive end was right there with him in the final sacks tally.Cincinnati Bengals Face Masks

Best mismatch for Browns: Stay on schedule. Cleveland is third in rushing yardage and fifth in yards per carry (4.8). To beat Pittsburgh, which ranks T-12th defensively in the metric (4.3), Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb must control the game and give Baker Mayfield play-action shots.
