Coach Talk

7th Place or Bust
Whoa, that Falcons defense didn't stand a chance! 31 connections on 35 attempts: good enough for a completion percentage of 89% for Russell Wilson. We know the GM of 7th Place or Bust is grateful for this type of attention to detail.
Hey Darnold!
Lots of cake, no icing: The six starting offensive skill players on Hey Darnold! (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) collectively gained a healthy 370 yards from scrimmage. Not one of those players was able to score a touchdown in Week 1.
