Earlier this week the walking enigma that is Mike Leach was presented with a question regarding who would win a fight among Pac-12 coaches. As there is nothing that seems to be too crazy for Leach he gave an answer his best shot.  On Wednesday’s episode of The Blitz Fred and AJ took some time to expand on this topic, including hypothetical brawls with NFL coaches. Well dear readers, I have taken this even further. I have created a bracket (complete with 8 different starting “regions”) with all 32 NFL coaches competing to become the one and only NFL Coach Fight Club Champion.

I could have written a long tedious post about which coach would beat who and why, but seeing as I have never actually been in a fight – spare me your judgement – I’m not going to pretend that I know how each matchup would go.  No, instead I leave it to you to argue amongst yourselves. Now go forth print off some brackets and FIGHT.

The Minnesota Vikings have acquired running back Cam Akers in a trade for the second straight year, agreeing Tuesday to send a late draft pick to the Houston Texans for more depth at the position.

The deal, which was contingent on Akers passing a physical exam, has the Vikings sending a conditional sixth-round pick in the 2026 draft to the Texans for Akers and a conditional seventh-round pick in the 2026 draft.

Akers, who was a second-round draft pick by the Los Angeles Rams in 2020 when current Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell was the offensive coordinator there, came to the Vikings in a deal with the Rams on Sept. 20, 2023. He had 138 rushing yards and 70 receiving yards in six games before suffering a season-ending Achilles tendon tear.

Akers signed with the Texans this year after considering a return to the Vikings. He had 147 rushing yards and 16 receiving yards in five games, helping fill in for the injured Joe Mixon.

Akers has 1,728 rushing yards and 336 receiving yards in five NFL seasons. He led the league with 67 rushing attempts during the 2021 postseason while helping the Rams to a Super Bowl title.

The Vikings could be without starting running back Aaron Jones Sr. this week after he hurt his hip in the previous game. Ty Chandler is next in line.
