HEAD COACHES
Kliff Kingsbury – Arizona Cardinals
Kingsbury and the Cardinals had a bye week. He will host a pair of his former Texas Tech players in Jakeem Grant and Sam Eguavoen as the Dolphins travel to Arizona this week. The Cardinals are 5-2 and second in the NFC West with the No. 1 offense in the NFL.

#AZCardinals GM Steve Keim rolled the dice signing Kliff Kingsbury and drafting Kyler Murray, but the gambles seem to be paying off. https://t.co/mGAmyyDLXw

Anthony Lynn – Los Angeles Chargers
Lynn and the Chargers fell to 2-5 following a last-second 31-30 loss to the Broncos on Sunday. The Broncos scored the game-winning touchdown as the clock expired to complete a 21-point comeback that saw them trailing 24-3 with six minutes left in the third quarter. It is yet another narrow defeat for Lynn and the Chargers, who have put together the second-best offense in league behind only the Cardinals.

The Chargers are the 1st team in NFL history to lose 3 straight games in which they led by 17 points.

The 2020 Chargers also join the 2003 Falcons as the only teams in NFL history to lose 3 games after holding a 17-point lead in NFL history.
