Coach Talk

Philly
Countless hours in the film room. Innovative play design from the coaching staff. Blood, sweat, and tears in training camp and on the practice field. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Every single route, every single pass, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The final result? A solid 29 completions on 30 attempts: good enough for a 97% completion percentage for Drew Brees this past week. The Colts secondary didn't see it coming!.
Ravens Nation
You can rest easy knowing that your generosity didn't go unnoticed, Ravens Nation. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Philly succeed this week. Who knows, maybe you'll play them again after they've clinched a playoff spot, and they bench a couple good players that week to return the favor!
