Coach Talk

PANIC IN DETROIT !!
Wow, PANIC IN DETROIT !!, you put the rest of the league on notice with this blowout. Not only did you win by 23.46 points, you also climbed from sixth place to third in the league standings!
FunkyChickens
Unless FunkyChickens wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 21 times in Week 3. With just nine total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
