Coach Talk

The Bonesmashers
It just can't be overstated how important tight wins like this can be for locker room chemistry. Persevering in the face of adversity and triumphing as a tight-knit unit... look for The Bonesmashers to carry some positive momentum into Week 2.
EastRock
Well, the blame for this close loss can be placed more heavily on the Ravens coaching staff than on the quarterback. The weekly gameplan required the QB to fire off only 20 pass attempts, and Lamar Jackson did what he could: connecting with his target on a staggering 85 percent of them!
