Coach Talk

Mutinous Apes
Lots of cake, no icing: The eight offensive position starters (five WRs, two RBs, one TE) on Mutinous Apes combined to record a whopping 496 total yards. No one from that group managed to find the end zone in Week 5.
Negligent Discharges
Only three field goals on five attempts? Sounds like Dan Bailey should reevaluate his pre-kick process following that sort of performance.
