Coach Talk

DILLI DILLY
You know DILLI DILLY, the good news is that we took this matchup by over 10 points. Even better news is that we've proven we're better than this, as our scoring average through Week 8 stood at 127.16. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Old school
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our five pass-catchers (three WR and two TE) combined to receive a whopping 22 targets in Week 9. With just 13 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
