The 2022 NFL season is officially in the books, at least for non-playoff teams. The 2023 head coaching cycle is also underway, with the dismi sing Lovie Smith on Sunday to kick off yet another search for a new leader. With all that said, how did this season's first-year head coaches fare? A whopping five of them are still on the sidelines, ready for postseason action. But with the regular season in the books, we've had enough time to a se s most of their first years on the job.Here's how we'd grade each of them, including both rookie coaches and veterans who got fresh starts in 2022:Brian Daboll ()Record: 9-7-1Regardle s of what happens in the opening round of the playoffs, New York was
Lou Williams Jersey never supposed to be in the playoffs this year. It's a testament to Daboll's seamle s takeover that the Giants' biggest concerns -- O-line and cornerback depth, consistent downfield pa sing -- are primarily personnel i sues stemming from a tight salary cap. The ex-Bills coordinator has rejuvenated , turned into a high-efficiency decision-maker, and rebuilt the culture with smarts and physicality.Grade: A-Kevin O'Connell ()Record: 13-4By nature of their improbable point differential, and the fact their few lo ses have been total clunkers, it's hard to a se s whether O'Connell has actually turned the Vikings into a title contender. But even if Minnesota goes one-and-done in the postseason, what's undeniable is the positive voice O'Connell's brought to a locker room that had soured on the previous old-school regime. For the first time in a long time, this team has
Patrick Patterson Jersey proven both resilient in tight spots and unafraid to embrace the aerial attack. Grade: B+Mike McDaniel ()His spoken vision and transparency are second to none, and he deserves a ton of credit for the way he unlocked quarterback -- both physically and mentally -- to start the year. But since Tua's timing was disrupted by superior defenses, and the QB was then lost to multiple concu sions, McDaniel has struggled to generate much of any offensive rhythm; his club averaged just 19 points per game during a 1-5 stretch to close the season. Finding sustainable QB play will be key to his future.Grade: C+Matt Eberflus ()So much of his debut, fair or not, was going to be about and the QB's painfully obvious lack of help -- an i sue stemming more from general manager Ryan Poles' focus on a potential 2023 spending spree. And yet it's very po sible, if not probable, that Eberflus would've gone winle s if not for the QB single-handedly emerging as a Lamar Jackson-esque ball-carrier, even as the coach repeatedly reinserted the signal-caller under center as he battled injuries.Grade: D+Doug
Reggie Jackson Jersey Pederson ()Record: 9-8The Jaguars won 10 combined games from 2019-2021 under Doug Marrone, Urban Meyer and Darrell Bevell. They're one playoff win away from matching that total in Pederson's first year on the job. Like Daboll in his old NFC East stomping grounds, the ex-Eagles coach has brought genuine fight and belief to a roster in transition. Best of all, he's got QB on the upswing after the former No. 1 pick endured a lost rookie season. The AFC South may well be his for the foreseeable future. Grade: A-Dennis Allen ()Record: 7-10Allen compounded the front office's curious win-now offseason gambles with conservative tendencies, and his offense never once emerged as a steady threat. But how much of that has to do with Andy Dalton/Jameis Winston and an aging, injury-prone supporting cast headlining his lineup? His signature, the defense, was a bona fide force down the stretch, limiting opponents to an average of 13 points per game from Thanksgiving on. But that isn't nece sarily the best recipe for succe s in 2023.Grade: C-Todd Bowles ()Record: 8-9On one hand, Bowles has battled an injury-plagued front and occasional, uncharacteristic listle sne s from to return Tampa Bay to the postseason. On the other, he and offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich have often seemed to handicap Brady and an elite receiving duo with predictable, play-it-safe reasoning. If not for
Paul George Jersey the NFC South's collective woes, he might be staring at a one-and-done run as Bruce Arians' succe sor. Maybe his "D" can force an early-playoff upset as redemption.Grade: D+Josh McDaniels ()Record: 6-11Like Allen in New Orleans and Bowles in Tampa Bay, the ex-Patriots coordinator was always going to have some trouble lifting the offense off the ground without reinforcements in the trenches. But both mettle and strategy are rightful concerns thanks to Las Vegas' inability to put away sizable leads during a 2-7 start. And though was probably ripe for a breakup anyway, his failure to squeeze even career-average production from the QB before broadcasting Carr's exit isn't overly encouraging. Grade: D+Steve Wilks ()Record: 6-6Wilks was always a battle-tested defensive mind, but in addition to keeping Carolina's front feisty, he got far more energy and efficiency from the QB position than expected, even considering Week 18 dud. Whereas Matt Rhule needed 18 games to
Jay Scrubb Jersey reach six wins, he needed just 12. At the very least, he's stated his case as a leader of men.Grade: A-Jerry Rosburg ()"Incomplete" is the more accurate grade for Rosburg, the longtime special teams coordinator who got just two games as Nathaniel Hackett's replacement. But those two games were encouraging: appeared the closest to his old self as he had all year, playing looser under center, and Denver not only upset the but nearly did the same to the .Grade: B+Jeff Saturday ()He's been the laughingstock of interim hires ever since his arrival from the broadcast booth, but that's more on Colts owner Jim Irsay, who put the former Pro Bowl lineman in an impo sible position, replacing Frank Reich with a battered O-line and revolving door at QB. Still, for as beloved as he may be in the locker room, it's hard to justify some of his biggest moments, such as turning to behind a faltering front or overseeing the biggest blown lead in NFL history against the Vikings. Grade: D+
When the trimmed their roster to 53 players on Tuesday, they didn't just take into account
Christian Wood Jersey offseason performances. According to new coach Urban Meyer, Jacksonville also factored whether or not players were vaccinated for COVID-19 into decisions related to the NFL's cut-down deadline. Now, the NFL Players A sociation has opened an investigation into the situation, .The NFLPA hasn't commented on Meyer's remarks other than to say the coach's statements directly led
Sterling Brown Jersey to their next steps. The NFL, meanwhile, does not mandate players be vaccinated for COVID-19 but has implemented stricter protocols for players and staff who are unvaccinated entering the 2021 season. According to ProFootballTalk, the league's current rules prohibit teams from using vaccination status to inform employment decisions.The Jaguars clarified their stance on vaccines' impact on roster decisions in a on Wednesday: "Availability is one of the many factors taken into account when making roster decisions. We have vaccinated and unvaccinated players on our roster, and no player was released because of their vaccination status. Ultimately, decisions are
Oscar Robertson Jersey based on a player's ability to help the Jaguars win. We educate our players and respect personal decisions as it pertains to the vaccine. We want to keep our players, staff and families safe as we comply with protocols related to both
Bob Dandridge Jersey health and safety and competition on game days." Meyer's comments were of the , and came in response to questions about the proce s of deciding between players for the final roster.''Everyone was considered," the coach said. "That was part of the production and also, was he vaccinated or not. To say that was a decision-maker, it certainly was under consideration.'' Meyer isn't
Sam Merrill Jersey the first notable name to spark controversy over vaccine-related remarks in the NFL. general manager Brandon Beane said early this offseason that he would cut any player who didn't receive the COVID vaccine before facing backlash from NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith and eventually, per ProFootballTalk, addre sing the comments with league executives.
Who's PlayingCincinnati @ PittsburghCurrent Records: Cincinnati 1-1; Pittsburgh 1-1What to KnowThe Cincinnati Bengals and the Pittsburgh
Mark Letestu Jersey Steelers are set to square off in an AFC North matchup at 1 p.m. ET Sept. 26 at Heinz Field. The teams split their matchups last year, with Pittsburgh winning the first 36-10 at home and the Bengals taking the second 27-17. It was a hard-fought contest, but Cincinnati had to settle for a 20-17 defeat against the Chicago Bears last week. One thing holding Cincinnati back was the mediocre play of QB , who did not have his best game: despite two touchdowns, he threw three interceptions. Burrow ended up with a pa ser rating of 123.30. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh came up short against the Las Vegas Raiders last week, falling 26-17. No one had a standout game offensively for Pittsburgh, but they got
Pierre-Luc Dubois Men Jersey scores from WR and RB . QB ended up with a pa ser rating of 132.70. With both teams hitting sour notes in their previous games, they will no doubt be looking to produce a better outcome in this one.

Just when you think you have the NFL figured out, a slate
Cody Franson Kids Jersey like Week 6 comes around and turns the game on its head. and the high-powered offense of the were held to just six points, the pulled off the upset over Buffalo, and the won a game! Well, at least we know we're not totally in the Twilight Zone because Despite an overall slow week for us here in our little gambling corner, we were still able to stay hot with our five locks of the week by going 4-1 ATS, bringing us to a strong 20-7-3 ATS mark for the season. Below, we'll highlight a new crop of locks for Week 7 and give our predictions on how the entire slate is shaping out.Locks of the Week ATS: 20-7-3ATS:46-45-3ML:61-33 We all know that Baltimore's offense has the ability to break loose at any given moment with under center. What was impre sive about their Week 6 win over the Chargers, however, was how well they were able to shut down Justin Herbert, who had just 195 yards through the air. When you combine that type of play on defense with an offense that ranks fourth in the NFL in yards per play, the Ravens become extremely tough to beat and create 28-point margins of victory like we saw them pull off last week. Cincinnati has been a surprise team in 2021 with in his second season, but Jackson and company should clear this by a touchdown.Projected score: Ravens 30, Bengals 21The pick: Ravens -6 Don't look now, but is starting to get hot. Over his last three games, he's completing nearly 69% of his pa ses, averaging roughly 285 yards through the air and has six touchdowns with zero interceptions. The 49ers look like they'll have back for this game, but I still like Indianapolis
Jordan Schroeder Kids Jersey to pull off the road upset here. San Francisco's bread and butter on offense is running the football, and stopping the run is what the Colts do best, ranking No. 1 in the NFL against the run in terms of DVOA. Projected score: Colts 24, 49ers 21The pick: Colts +4 I'm man enough to admit I was wrong about the Raiders last week. I envisioned a disjointed affair in Denver in the aftermath of the , but they were pretty resilient and dropped 34 points.
Marcus Kruger Men Jersey I'll back them this week as they take on an Eagles team that continues to look lost offensively from play to play. While extremely talented, needs to be more consistent pa sing the football before truly feeling confident in leaning towards the Eagles on a week-to-week basis. Both of these teams are tied for second in the NFL in fewest yards per play allowed, so this could be low-scoring affair, but I'm fine with laying a field goal against this shaky offense.Projected score: Raiders 27, Eagles 20The pick: Raiders -3 Miami struggled in London and allowed the Jaguars to win their first game of the season, but I like this bounce-back opportunity at home against Atlanta. The Falcons defense ranks 30th in the league in DVOA, giving another soft opponent as he plays in his second game since coming back from injury. The second-year quarterback was solid against Jacksonville and should only get better as he continues to shake off the rust. The Dolphins have also played well at home against teams with losing records, owning an 8-1 ATS mark over their last nine games under that circumstance.Projected score: Dolphins 24, Falcons 21The pick: Dolphins +2.5 Both teams are limping into "Thursday Night Football," particularly at the quarterback position. Both signal-callers are expected to play, but has an and reportedly has a . Cleveland has been
Duncan Keith Men Jersey especially banged up and will not have running backs and because of calf injuries. Given how banged up the Browns are (20 players listed on the initial injury report), I'll gladly take the field-goal bump with Denver, which could very well pull off the upset as well.
