Fox Sport Update - Jets Name Todd Downing Play Caller
[MUSIC PLAYING] Fox Sports Update. Two days ago, they fired their head coach. Today, they demoted their offensive coordinator. I'm Jared Maxx. Two days since the New York Jets replaced Robert Salla as head coach for the team's defensive coordinator of the last three-plus seasons, Jeff Ulbrich. Today, Ulbrich, serving as interim head coach, made a permanent decision. I'm going to make Todd downing the plate collar for the New York Jets going forward. New York Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich elevated his team's passing game coordinator. Just a different take on things, a fresh approach. So ultimately, Todd will have the full say on the game plan and ultimately the players that are called within the game. Todd downing is in, which means Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, who Aaron Rodgers worked with for years in Green Bay, is out as play caller, but still in as offensive coordinator. He's going to continue to be a big part of the success we're going to have going forward from an offensive perspective. And just, I feel so fortunate that he is, he's staying with us. I mean, here's a guy that's been a head coach in this league and willing to draw cards, willing to do whatever it takes. So the true heart of a servant, just, I feel so fortunate that he's on our staff. But Nathaniel Hackett has lost his job as Jets play caller, ahead of Monday night's home game against the Bills. Week six starts tonight in Seattle. The three and two Seahawks host the two and three 40 Niners. Baseball American League playoffs tonight. The Tigers and the Yankees are in position to advance to the ALCS. The Tigers host the Guardians, leading two games to one. The Yankees are in Kansas City, up two to one on the Royals. Hurricane Milton destroyed the roof of the Tampa Bay raised home Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg. Roof debris and rain covered the field. Tennis great, Rafael Nadal. Second all time in men's grand slam singles titles with 22, will retire at season's end. His final tournament, the Davis Cup next month. WNBA finals begin tonight in New York. The Liberty hosts the Minnesota Links. It's game on with the Fox Sports app, available wherever you download apps. I'm Jared Maxx. - Get more on the Fox Sports app and foxsports.com. (upbeat music)
