Coach Talk

Heath Ledger’s Joker
Good work, Heath Ledger’s Joker. Bravo on deploying a lineup that won by almost 15 points this past matchup. We should maintain this momentum as we roll into what should be a winnable matchup in Week 4.
Valyrian Steelers
Unless Valyrian Steelers wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 47 targets in Week 3. With just 28 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
