Coach Talk

Cooking with Defense
Listen, Cooking with Defense, we do admire the confidence. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Corey Davis), while still earning a W. Try those shenanigans next week against TeamBrickLesnar and see what happens!
A Team Has No Name
Unless A Team Has No Name wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" isn't really an excuse this week. As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 43 times in Week 9. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group pulled down just 26 balls.
