Coach Talk

ZEKE WHO???
Just two field goals on four attempts? It's quite possible that Mike Nugent just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after that sort of performance.
The B.O.S.S.
Tons of action between the 20's: The seven offensive position starters on The B.O.S.S. (four WRs, two RBs, one TE) collectively gained a whopping 530 yards from scrimmage. Unfortunately, none of those starters was able to find the end zone in Week 8.
