Our weekly list of three things we learned starts with the quarterback I don't think could have done anything better in Sunday's game.
Geno Smith, Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield showed the value that can be found in picking up a car that other teams have deemed a lemon.
Jedd Fisch took on a rebuilding process at Washington while Mike Macdonald was hired to make a good team great.
Instead of an out-of-office note, I thought I'd leave what I'm currently considering as a starting point for the book I'm writing about my stepfather.

While the Seahawks opponents haven't been anything to write home about, you couldn't ask their record to be any better than what it is.
