Coach Talk

London Gentlemen
Innovative play design and countless hours in the film room. Blood, sweat, and tears in practice. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Each and every route, every single throw, drawn up meticulously and executed flawlessly. The outcome? A superb 30 connections on 37 attempts: good enough for a completion percentage of 81 percent for Kirk Cousins this past week. The Eagles secondary didn't see it coming!.
Baytown Cowboys
Tons of activity between the 20's: The four offensive position starters on Baytown Cowboys (three WRs, one RB) combined to record a healthy 309 total yards. None of those starters, unfortunately, was able to score a touchdown in Week 5.
