Coach Talk

STAIRWAY TO EVANS!
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to a stellar showing by Tom Brady, we royally dominated NUMBER TWO at the quarterback position this past week (34.9 points to 6.05). Brady orchestrated a big win over the Lions, hitting 22 of 27 passes for 348 yards and four touchdowns.
NUMBER TWO
Wait, our quarterback tossed two interceptions and just a single touchdown? We may need to have a little debate here. Did Ryan Tannehill seem rattled back there in the pocket, or were the Packers just that good defending the pass?
