Coach Talk

Birdzilla
We're curious if the GM of Birdzilla was sweating bullets in this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 1.88 points, Joey Slye (1-of-2 on the day) decided that going 2-for-2 on field goals would've been just a bit too boring. Remember folks, every point matters!
Los Jefes
Your starting QB threw two interceptions and literally no touchdowns? It might be wise to go back and review the game tape: Were the Texans genuinely that great defending the pass, or did Gardner Minshew II seem rattled back there in the pocket? What do you think? Do we continue to roll with him as the starting QB of Los Jefes?
