Coach Talk

headhunters
Just one make on four field goal attempts? Seems like Stephen Gostkowski might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after that sort of performance.
Dingus
Hey now, talk about under-utilized. The starting backfield for Dingus collectively logged only five targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 2!
