Robert Saleh seems to be salivating at the chance to “play chess with one of the best chess players in the world.” That’s how he sees his first head coaching matchup against Bill Belichick. And he’s ready – at least as ready as can be. Defensively, Saleh’s been known as a pretty good chess player himself.
He’s not the one to worry about that, though. The real problem is with 22-year-old quarterback Zach Wilson, who gets to match wits with the grandmaster in just his second NFL game.
