Coach Talk

Big Blue
Nice work assembling a starting crew that posted nearly 193 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we needed to do.
Bruising Knights
Your quarterback threw two interceptions and just one touchdown? We might need to go back and review the game tape. Was Matt Ryan actually that inaccurate from the pocket, or were the Jaguars just that good defending the pass?
