Coach Talk

Tommy P
Well Tommy P, the good news is that we took this matchup by more than 26 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this, as our scoring average through seven weeks was 121.29. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Da RonaVirus-20
Ugh, talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting backfield for Da RonaVirus-20 collectively recorded only three receptions on five targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 9!
