Coach Talk

Mean Machine
Listen Mean Machine, the good news is that we won this matchup by more than 19 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're better than this, as our scoring average through five weeks was 132.09. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Cash Money
Unless Cash Money wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this week. Our three wide receivers collectively saw a hearty 18 targets in Week 6. With only 10 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
