Coach Talk

RGV Texans
Yo, RGV Texans, you got friends at SpaceX or something? Not only did you win by 154.5 points, you also skyrocketed up to fourth place in the league standings!
Zimmreapers
Unless Zimmreapers wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many looks" isn't really an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 42 times in Week 2. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they hauled in just 24 catches.
