Coach Talk

Denver Broncos
Hey, we admire the confidence, Denver Broncos. Rolling out not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (Gerald McCoy, Allen Hurns, and Brice Butler), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Detroit Lions and see what happens.
V Jacksonville Jags
Unless V Jacksonville Jags wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (six WR, two TE) collectively got a hearty 33 targets in Week 6. With only 18 total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
