Coach Talk

Django
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by a thrilling showing from Kyler Murray, we thoroughly outplayed Tim Riggins at the quarterback position this past week (37.92 points to 5.36). Murray went 21-for-26 for 283 yards and three TDs in a 34-31 loss to the Dolphins.
Tim Riggins
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a hearty 24 targets in Week 9. With only 14 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
