Coach Talk

Atlanta Falcons
Who really cares if you ultimately slid from seventh place to ninth this past week... the important thing here is that your team won the matchup. Maintain focus week-to-week and the results are sure to follow.
Isiah's Team
Unless Isiah's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" can't be a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 27 times in Week 2. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group notched just 16 receptions.
