Did the Jets find an answer, or merely a scapegoat, by firing Robert Saleh?

The Athletic Football Show: A show about the NFL

We're used to big news dropping on Tuesdays, but this one was entirely different. The Robert Saleh firing—especially the timing of it—surprised the NFL world, and that's where Robert Mays and Diante Lee of The Ringer begin this episode of The Athletic Football Show. The guys also recap the Chiefs' win over the Saints on Monday Night Football, dig into the Seahawks' run defense and the deteriorating situation in Cleveland, and bat around questions for three good offenses—the Texans, Bengals, 49ers and Bills.

Then, John Shipley from Sports Illustrated joins to engage in some franchise counseling for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
