TMQ: Cold Coach = Victory!

Disclaimer: Reading Tuesday Morning Quarterback may cause slow, irreversible aging.

It was a football harmonic convergence as several Tuesday Morning Quarterback themes expressed themselves in the postseason opening round.

First, Cold Coach = Victory. In the subzero clime at Kansas City, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel was dressed as if for a spacewalk. Only his eyeglasses could be seen through multiple layers. Across the way Andy Reid’s mustache froze, as he sported a varsity jacket and baseball cap, not even a scarf. Though probably had Under Armour ColdGear, which is great stuff, beneath the jacket, and dang, there’s another missed chance to sell a product placement.

The icicle mustache.

TMQ knew at kickoff the Chiefs would win, just from seeing coaches’ attire.

So far as Miami coach, McDaniel is 16-6 until December first, 4-10 after. He’s in a division ruled by the bad-weather Buffalo Bills, who are on a 24-7 stretch after December first. To challenge in the AFC East, McDaniel must learn that Cold Coach = Victory.

Pittsburgh at Buffalo, kickoff temperature 14 Fahrenheit, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin wore a heavy wool beanie cap, Bills head coach Sean McDermott wore a baseball cap. That’s all the information you need to know who won.
