Coach Talk

Throw up the X
Only one field goal on three attempts? In a matchup this close, Michael Badgley probably had the GM of Throw up the X debating why kickers should even be rostered.
KGG FB
Recording four receptions on only five targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for KGG FB should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
