Coach Talk

DJ Moore Cowbell
Listen, DJ Moore Cowbell, we do respect the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (David Moore), while still earning the win. All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we're toast.
Lannister
Welp, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 34 times in Week 5. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group reeled in just 16 catches.
