Coach Talk

Chief
Good work deploying a lineup that registered 105.62 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we needed to do. Let's keep this momentum as we step into our Week 6 matchup.
zxz_alexandre
Unless zxz_alexandre wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough looks" won't cut it as an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a hearty 42 targets in Week 5. With just 24 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
