On Saturday, Fulham and Cardiff ended their Premier League survival hopes after defeats against Stoke City and Newcastle United respectively. Sunderland, on the other hand, caused a 1-0 upset against Manchester United keeping themselves in the hunt for relegation battle against Norwich, who have tough fixtures ahead to secure their place out of the relegation spot.

A 3-13 record to show for a season that featured what’s widely considered disappointing development for rookie quarterback Josh Rosen was enough for the organization to make a sudden change of direction. Wilks, 49, was hired as a defensive-minded coach who was supposed to inject life into team that had been slipping defensively. Instead, the defense got worse statistically, and the offense fell all the way to the bottom of the league....
