Coach Talk

Russ's Miracle Water
Well Russ's Miracle Water, the good news is that we won this matchup by 7.72 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through Week 5 stood at 124.73. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Brian's Team
Welp, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 22 times in Week 6. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group recorded only 12 catches.
