Coach Talk

DC Cowboys
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's not really any other way for us to spin this, DC Cowboys; our quarterback was utterly outplayed by the opposition. Patrick Mahomes went 24-of-34 for 243 yards and two touchdowns for Run That Back, and all Dak Prescott could muster was a 24-for-39 day for 206 passing yards and an ugly interception. We need to spend some extra time this week working with our receivers!
Run That Back
Producing three catches on just four targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Run That Back clearly should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
