On today's episode of The Daily Hunt: 

Coach Brian Flores benched starting quarterback Josh Rosen the week after saying he was going to be the team's starter for the rest of the season. 

Rosen's numbers weren't great as he finished the afternoon with 15 completions on 25 attempts for no touchdowns and two interceptions.

He was also sacked four times in the first quarter and five times on the afternoon. 

“I was disappointed, but I understood the situation. I mean it obviously was a smart decision given how the game almost ended," Rosen said after the game. "‘Flo’s’ (Head Coach Brian Flores) job first and foremost is to win football games and I respect the decision, and it’s my job to not put him in that position.”

Coach Flores was also asked about the move following the loss. 

“I felt like we needed a spark," he explained. "We were down 17-3 at that point. The defense actually made a good stop to keep it to a two-score game or 14-point game. We just felt like that was the right move in that moment, the way we were going offensively. We had to get a spark going. We had to get something going. We tried to make a couple plays in the kicking game. We just felt like we needed a spark, and this team fought hard. I mean they didn’t – there’s no issue with effort. There’s no issue with trying to go out here and get a win. We just came up short at the end.”

Flores added that Rosen will be the starter moving forward.
