Coach Talk

24 Eh!
Wow, 24 Eh!, have you been practicing any gymnastics lately? In addition to a 31.44-point victory, you also vaulted over four other teams to fifth place in the league standings!
Blacula's Bums
Your starting QB tossed an interception and no touchdowns? I suppose we're presented with a couple of options here. Was Ryan Tannehill actually that sloppy from the pocket, or was the Vikings secondary just that strong against the pass? What do you think, Blacula's Bums, do we continue to start him with confidence?
