A key to keeping Jay Cutler alive this season could rest in the blocking skills of former Gophers tight end Matt Spaeth. According to ESPNChicago, Spaeth played only 11 plays when Cutler got sacked seven times in a Week 2 loss at Green Bay. Known as a decent blocker, Spaeth was inserted into the offense in double-tight end sets for 31 snaps in a Week 3 victory against St. Louis and a season-high 33 snaps in last week's victory at Dallas.

There's no hotter coaching seat in the NFL than the one Lions special teams coach Danny Crossman is sitting on right now.
