The immortal Spencer Rattler will start for NO. 

 

And this...

On his second full day on the job, New York Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich made a major shake-up on his coaching staff, stripping the playcalling responsibilities from embattled offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett.

The move, announced by Ulbrich on Thursday, has an added layer of significance because Hackett is an Aaron Rodgers confidant. One of the main reasons why Rodgers wanted to be traded to the Jets last year was his close relationship with Hackett.

The new playcaller is Todd Downing, a former Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator who coaches the quarterbacks and holds the title of passing game coordinator. He will have "the full say on the game plan and, ultimately, the plays that are called within the game," Ulbrich said.

"This is more a byproduct of a different take on things," he said, explaining his rationale. "I'm not saying it's a better or worse take on things by any means, but just a different take on things, a fresh approach."

Hackett will remain on the staff in an undisclosed role. Ulbrich said no titles will change, only roles, and also announced that he will remain the defensive coordinator and will continue to call plays. He hopes to be involved in the offense in time, looking to "infuse my personality" into that unit.

The key to the shake-up, of course, is how it plays with Rodgers. Ulbrich said he discussed it with the four-time MVP.

"It was obviously -- not necessarily a shock, but we're familiar with the relationship he has with Nathaniel," Ulbrich said. "They're very, very good friends that go back a long way. So, he understood the decision and he was supportive of the decision, and I'm fortunate for that."

Downing will debut Monday night against the Buffalo Bills (3-2) at MetLife Stadium. If the Jets (2-3) win, they will own a share of first place in the AFC East.

Shane Waldron has been fired as the Chicago Bears' offensive coordinator less than 10 months after being hired for the job.

The Bears announced the firing Tuesday, one day after head coach Matt Eberflus promised "changes" and "adjustments" for the struggling Bears. Passing game coordinator Thomas Brown has been promoted to offensive coordinator.
