Coach Talk

s99 GX NE Pats 20 25
Earning the win is most important, s99 GX NE Pats 20 25, but we certainly know of one spot where we should get better as a team. Our quarterback was utterly overmatched this past week. Lamar Jackson went 17-of-20 for 324 yards and five touchdowns for New York Giants, and all Josh Allen could muster was a 24-for-37 day, with 254 yards and one passing TD (plus two ugly interceptions). Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 2!
New York Giants
There's a decent chance that New York Giants might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 11 total targets in Week 1, their five wide receivers apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
