NFL Week 10: Brian Daboll, Bo Nix, Michael Penix Jr. lessons - ESPN

Week 10 is in the books! Coming out of Sunday, there was a lot to talk about already. Upsets in Miami and Carolina, dominance from Seattle and Detroit, photo finishes in Chicago and Houston. The column was already packed to the brim… and then the Giants fired coach Brian Daboll after 61 games at the helm.

Daboll's Giants are 2-8 for the third consecutive season and end 20-40-1 under his tenure — a win percentage of 32.7%. That simply won't cut the mustard, and I have no interest in making excuses for it. But the most interesting headline to come out of Daboll's firing is that general manager Joe Schoen, who was hired with Daboll, is not only keeping his job — he'll be leading the search for Daboll's replacement.

More on that dynamic, and the rest of the NFL's eventful Week 10, below. Every Tuesday, I'll spin the previous week of NFL action forward, looking at what the biggest storylines mean and what comes next. We'll seek measured reactions to everyone's overreactions, celebrate the exciting stuff that nobody is appreciating and highlight what you might have missed Sunday and Monday. There will be film. There will be stats (a whole section of them). And there will be fun.
