Coach Talk

EuroStepBack
Earning the win is most important, EuroStepBack, but we've also identified one spot where we should improve as a team. Our quarterback was clearly outmatched by the opposition. Baker Mayfield went 17-of-32 for 193 yards and two touchdowns for Cuprija Dziberi, and all Kyle Allen could manage was a 31-for-50 outing for 325 passing yards and four ugly interceptions. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 12!
Cuprija Dziberi
Logging only a couple of receptions on four measly targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for Cuprija Dziberi should remind their quarterbacks to dump it down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
