Coach Talk

jichanorthNJ
Deploying a starting crew that won by 41.77 points this past week... we did what we had to do and took care of business.
Greyhound Express
Our starting QB tossed two interceptions and just a single touchdown? We might need to go back and review the game tape. Were the Packers truly that stout against the pass, or was Ryan Tannehill just that sloppy from the pocket?
