Coach Talk

Cali chill
Listen Cali chill, the good news is that we won this matchup by more than 25 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through 14 weeks was 118.62. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
The RC Padres
With two catches on just three targets this past week, the starting RBs for The RC Padres should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
