Coach Talk

American Hustle
Assembling a lineup that registered nearly 222 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. Let's keep this momentum rolling as we step into our Week 10 matchup.
Sutton Sleepers
Wait, our starting QB threw two interceptions and no touchdowns? It might be wise to go back and review the game tape: Were the Texans truly that great against the pass, or did Gardner Minshew II seem flustered back there in the pocket? What do you think, Sutton Sleepers, do we continue to start him with confidence?
