Before hiring Josh McDaniels, Mike Vrabel interviewed another Super Bowl-winning offensive coordinator. According to a source, Eric Bieniemy interviewed with the Patriots for their previously vacant offensive coordinator job. The team also interviewed Marcus Brady, Thomas Brown, and Grant Udinski before hiring McDaniels last week.

The latest class of new NFL head coaches includes a good mix of hot-shot young offensive coordinators and seasoned veterans who won big elsewhere.

Coach Andy Reid said his Kansas City Chiefs were "lucky" to win a "game of inches" against the Buffalo Bills, referencing a controversial call that confirmed a fourth-down defensive stand in the AFC title game.
