Coach Talk

s99 GX NE Pats 20 25
Sure, we ultimately earned the win, but we can't deny it, s99 GX NE Pats 20 25; our running backs were utterly outmatched by the opposition. Buoyed by Justice Hill (seven total yards, no TDs) and Ryquell Armstead (six yards, no TDs), our three RBs combined for only 14.2 points in Week 5, while the starting backfield for Atlanta Falcons almost quadrupled us with a score of 53.62. We need to work with the O-line to find some more holes in Week 6!
