Coach Talk

DeathCabForRodgers
Bravo on assembling a lineup that posted almost 170 points this past week. We did what we had to do and took care of business.
Erv
Recording a couple of receptions on only three targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for Erv should work to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more often.
