Coach Talk

The Flying Wedgies
Assembling a starting crew that produced more than 169 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. Let's keep this momentum as we move on to a tricky matchup in Week 11.
NMSaints
Lots of cake, no icing: The five offensive skill starters (three WRs, one RB, one TE) on NMSaints combined to record a whopping 377 total yards. No one from that group could find his way to the end zone in Week 10.
