Coach Talk

Cleveland Browns
Listen Cleveland Browns, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 38.6 points through Week 5, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 14 we needed for this past week's win!
Los Angeles Rams
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to get a whopping 24 targets in Week 6. Chemistry seems to be a problem, as that group reeled in only 11 receptions.
