Jets requested an interview with Saints interim HC Darren Rizzi for their head coaching vacancy.
Rizzi's troops went 3-5 despite several weeks without Derek Carr down the stretch, playing much more inspired defense than they had been under the deposed Dennis Allen. Rizzi is interviewing for the Saints job in-house, but it isn't a surprise that the Jets are adding him to their interview circuit because they are currently interviewing everyone they can, including you. Yes, you. Get to work on what your defensive staff would look like, your interview is Friday.

Baltimore's tight ends and Rashod Bateman would likely see higher volume than normal against the Steelers on Saturday if Flowers isn't able to go. We're likely looking at a questionable tag at best as this point, even if he gets on the field the next two days in a row.
