The article discusses the Denver Broncos' decision to abandon the run game in a recent match against the Los Angeles Chargers, speculating whether this strategy contributed to their loss. It then shifts focus to Darren Rizzi, the interim head coach of the Carolina Panthers, who is driven to secure his first permanent NFL head coaching position.
The Broncos gave up on the run against the Chargers, and it might have cost them. Katherine Terrell joined ESPN in 2016 to cover the Cincinnati Bengals, later covering the New Orleans Saints from 2022. She has covered the NFL since 2013. Colgate University opened the 1993 season against Rutgers at Giants Stadium. Rutgers fumbled at midfield, then Colgate tailback Bill Sparacio ran 48 yards to set up a touchdown for a 6-0 lead.
As Sparacio sprinted down the field, running backs coach Darren Rizzi was matching him step-for-step on the sideline. Rizzi is still that enthusiastic kid at 54. He's also a man on a mission to secure his first NFL head coaching job. On Nov. 4, Rizzi started by snapping a seven-game losing streak, and he has a 3-2 record overall. Rizzi promised the team wouldn't lack passion or fight during his tenure, and while he'd love to keep his dream job, he knows it'll be a significant challenge to have the interim title removed. Rizzi has been a college head coach twice at the Division II and FCS level but has had two formal head coaching interviews in his 16 NFL seasons. The Dolphins hired Brian Flores over Rizzi in 2019 and the Saints promoted Dennis Allen after Sean Payton stepped down following the 2021 season
