Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. I shouldn’t be shocked, but I’m astonished that Iowa-Nebraska was higher-scoring than Giants-Patriots.

Head and shoulders above the rest
As the calendar flips to December, one NFL team stands unrivaled above the rest.

Paul Finebaum thinks Ohio State coach Ryan Day should pack his bags and run out of Columbus.
Day and the Buckeyes lost their third straight to the Wolverines after falling 30-24 Saturday in Ann Arbor. OSU fans are absolutely crushed as Michigan continues to cement itself as the king of the B1G.
Despite an incredibly impressive 56-7 record, fans seem to be turning on the man in charge of the Buckeyes. Finebaum thinks Day should leave the program while he might be able to find a soft landing spot.
Mike Elko flew into in College Station, Texas, in the early hours of Monday morning shortly after finalizing a deal to become the new coach of the Texas A&M football program.
The former Duke coach is going viral for the low-key arrival which occurred at approximately 2:15 a.m. CT. That’s because it stands in stark contrast to the 2017 arrival of predecessor Jimbo Fisher who was fired Nov. 12.
Elko walked off the private plane onto the tarmac and made his way to a plain white pickup truck. Photographers only had a few seconds to snap images of him before he disappeared.

Paul McGinley, the Irishman who captained the European Ryder Cup team in 2014, will replace Paul Azinger at the Hero World Challenge.
Last week, reports emerged that Curt Byrum would serve as the lead analyst for NBC Sports’ coverage of the Hero World Challenge.
But NBC Sports executives in Stamford, Connecticut, have decided they want to test the waters on someone else, on a man who should be quite familiar to golf fans worldwide.
The 2024 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot includes 12 newcomers. Let the debates begin.
Few candidates get on the ballot who are beyond debate. This year, Adriân Beltré is one of them, thanks to 3,166 hits, 477 homers and five Gold Gloves. Only Willie Mays reached those thresholds.
Voting is hard, however, because most candidates fall on the borderline. That’s especially true of first-time candidates this year such as Joe Mauer, Chase Utley and David Wright. Each was at some point among the best players in the game.
Former New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan ripped into Patriots coach Bill Belichick over the team’s quarterback controversy.
During an appearance on ESPN’s Get Up on Monday morning, Ryan fired multiple shots at Belichick over his unwillingness to name a starting quarterback. He then took things one step further, attributing all of Belichick’s success as a coach to having Tom Brady as a quarterback.
New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick walks off the field after losing to New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.
Bill Belichick is in unfamiliar territory this season.
With his Patriots being one of the worst teams in the NFL, he has been asked on several occasions about his job security in New England, and on Monday he faced another such question and gave a very blunt answer when confronted with a rumor started by ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky.
Orlovsky said he has heard that a potential breakup between Belichick and the Patriots was looming and the legendary coach’s next team is likely already determined during a Nov. 14 appearance on The Pat MacAfee Show.
The Panthers have fired coach Frank Reich after a 1–10 start to the season, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Carolina’s special teams coordinator, Chris Tabor, will serve as the team’s interim head coach.
This is a developing story. Come back for more updates.
The Cardinals have found their frontline starter.
The Panthers are making a change. Frank Reich is out before finishing his first year in Carolina, the team announced. Special teams coach Chris Tabor will take over the 1-10 squad.
