Coach Talk

Mr. Much Beer
Wow, the Dolphins defense didn't stand a chance! 21 completions on 26 attempts... good enough for an 81% completion percentage for Kyler Murray. We know the GM of Mr. Much Beer is grateful for that attention to detail.
Full Chubb Energy
Registering only five targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Full Chubb Energy should look into why their quarterbacks are giving them the cold shoulder.
