Week 10 losers: Aaron Rodgers looks awful; Cowboys embarrassed again

When you are 2-8, you do not get to react that way to an honest question. 

Matt Eberflus, head coach, Chicago Bears

The Bears probably made a really bad decision to bring Eberflus back for another year. The selection of quarterback Caleb Williams with the No. 1 overall pick would have been a great opportunity to hit the reset button with the coaching staff and just bring in a whole new approach. Now, the Bears find themselves in a situation where a coaching change seems inevitable, and they are going to have to go through the rocky process of giving their young franchise quarterback multiple head coaches early in his career. 

The way he botched the game in Washington two weeks ago, then left Williams in the game late this past week and risked injury, and then allowed his team to get dominated at home by a bad New England team is a bad look for the staff. 

Johnny Newton, defensive tackle, Washington Commanders

Newton is an extremely promising rookie defensive lineman for the Commanders, and he should have an outstanding career ahead of him. This is not going to be one of his better moments as his offside penalty, when the Pittsburgh Steelers had no intention of snapping the football, did not allow Washington to get the football back late in the fourth quarter and give rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels a chance to win the game. 

Joe Flacco, quarterback, Indianapolis Colts

Flacco might be the best quarterback on the Colts roster at the moment, but if he wants to hold onto the starting job for a while, he needs to be better than he was on Sunday. He threw three interceptions and was sacked four times in a 30-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The big positive about him over second-year player Anthony Richardson is that Flacco is a veteran who can protect the ball. He did not do that on Sunday. 

Wil Lutz, kicker, Denver Broncos 

The Broncos had a chance to knock off the Kansas City Chiefs and hand them their first loss of the season but ended up on the wrong end of a 16-14 decision. Lutz missed his only two field goal attempts in the game, including a potential game-winning kick as time expired that was blocked. While it is hard to put all of the blame on him for the block, it was only a 35-yard kick, and he did not seem to get anywhere near enough elevation on it. 

Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys have played four home games this season. They have lost all four games and been outscored by a 153-59 margin. Going back to the playoffs a year ago, they have lost five straight home games and been outscored 201-91. Now they have another problem: Their players hate being blinded by the sun, and the owner has no desire to try and fix it. Just an absolute mess of a season and a mess of a team. 

Aaron Rodgers, quarterback, New York Jets

The Aaron Rodgers experience with the New York Jets has been a complete failure, and it continued on Sunday with an ugly 31-6 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Rodgers looked every bit like the 40-year-old quarterback that he is, completing just 22-of-35 passes for only 151 yards and zero touchdowns. 

They brought in all of his friends and former teammates, they fired the coach for him, and they essentially gave him control over everything. This is the result.
