Has Lovie Smith been told he's out at the end of the season? If so this is brilliant.

Bears will have the number 1 draft pick, and the Texans will pick second.

Bears will have the number 1 draft pick, and the Texans will pick second.

Works out nicely for the Bears and Texans. The Bears already have Fields so won't need a QB, which means they will have their choice of Will Anderson or Jalen Carter. The Texans, who do need a QB, will have their choice of Stroud or Young. The Seahawks and Cardinals will also end up with one of the four players each. I suspect Seattle will go for a QB and Cardinals for a D-lineman to replace Watt.

Chargers playing their top 2 WRs in a meaningless game and Williams gets carted off. They are always unlucky but not this time, just stupid.

The Texans have fired head coach Lovie Smith, the team's CEO Cal McNair and general manager Nick Caserio announced Sunday.

• Smith, 64, went 3-13-1 with Houston in the 2022 season. It was his only season as the team's head coach.
• It's the third time in the franchise's 21-year history that the team finished with three wins or less in a season. The others occurred in 2005 and 2013 with Houston finishing the season at 2-14.
• This was the third time Smith held an NFL head coaching job, with his other stints being with the Bears and Buccaneers. He has a career 92-100-1 NFL head coaching record.
• McNair said in a statement Sunday that he will work alongside Caserio to hire Smith's replacement: "I'm confident we will find the right leader for our football team."

The Cardinals have fired head coach Kliff Kingsbury, while general manager Steve Keim has stepped away to focus on his health, the team announced Monday.

• The Cardinals plummeted to a 4-13 record in 2022, only one year after the team went 11-6 earning an NFC Wild Card berth. Arizona ended the season on a seven-game losing streak.
• Kingsbury, 43, finished his four-year run with the Cardinals with a 28-37-1 regular season record and an 0-1 postseason mark. Arizona only had one winning season under Kingsbury.
• The Cardinals finished near the bottom of the league in points scored and points allowed in the 2022 season.
• Keim had been the general manager since Jan. 2013. Arizona went 80-80-2 with Keim as GM.
