Coaching:

To me, this is the only thing worth talking about in this game. The coaching staff once again had the team unprepared and uninspired, which has been a common theme all season long.

The mere fact that the starting defense was literally standing around looking at each other while Peyton Manning hikes the ball in the no huddle offense is a complete and total indictment of the extremely poor defensive coaching and preparation. That is something you should see in preseason with the third string defense. John Fox and Mike Trgovac should be ashamed and offer an explanation.

Out coached and out classed.

Coaching Grade: F-
