Summary

Week 11 in the NFL had the makings of a snoozefest…until the Chargers and Chiefs battled it out on Sunday night, with the Chiefs pulling off yet another last-second comeback. Just a week after putting the NFL on notice with a win over the Bills in the game of the year, the Vikings got embarrassed at home by the Dallas Cowboys. The NFC East’s good day continued as the Washington Commanders beat the Houston Texans to improve to 6-5 after starting the season 1-4…and more importantly, they finally named Taylor Heinicke their starting QB going forward. And amid all the outrage over the Colts’ hiring of Jeff Saturday as their interim head coach…prompted us to think, what actually makes someone qualified to be a head coach anyway? We brought in Alex Smith for another edition of QB Confidential, so he could help us make sense of all of this. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
