CHARLES ROBINSON: All right. Well, as we close the book on Sunday's game, we wanted to highlight that Visa supports MVPs on and off the field from playmakers to small business owners. That's why today, we'll be awarding the MVP to the unlikeliest football hero from week six. Franklin, who you got? The floor is yours.
FRANK SCHWAB: To me, give me a little bit of curveball here, it's the Arizona coaching staff. On Friday, they found out, hey, Kliff Kingsbury is not going to be there. And you've been around the NFL long enough to know. That's a shock to your system.
All of a sudden, it doesn't happen very often were on a Friday night, you're like, we're not going to have our coach for a road game on Sunday. Defensive Coordinator Vance Joseph, special teams coordinator Jeff Rogers has shared the head coaching duties. I thought they led this team perfectly.
I want to give a special shout out to Vance Joseph because his defense was awesome today. He has a lot on his plate. A lot going through his mind, and it almost makes you think like, maybe Vance is going to get a second shot.
Obviously, he didn't do great with the Broncos, but this was a big time spot for him to show some leadership. So those are my unlikely MVPs of this week. Vance Joseph, Jeff Rogers and the rest of that Cardinals coaching staff filling in for Kliff Kingsbury. What about you, Charles? Who would you like?
CHARLES ROBINSON: I like it. It's unconventional. I think a lot of people have forgotten that Kliff Kingsbury wasn't out there this week, so. I actually have to go to the day's first game.
You can't get over what Matthew Wright did for Jacksonville. You're talking about a kicker who was on-- he's been up and down on the practice squad. He had a team that had not made converted a field goal this year.
And as late as Friday, we're trying to figure out who is going to be our primary field goal kicker in this one. Urban Meyer chose Matthew Wright. All the guy does is go out he hits 3 for 3.
A 54 yarder, that was important. But then that the 53 yarder to win the game. It was really good performance. And you have to feel good for a kid who like I said, been up and down but he's the one who ends up breaking the 20 game losing streak for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Well, as we see, sometimes the most important figures on Sunday aren't the biggest stars but the supporting cast that helps you make things happen. This was MVP picks brought to you by Visa.
