Coach Talk

Fighting Chichiwawas
Good job deploying a starting crew that tallied more than 110 points this past week. We did what we needed to do and took care of business. Let's maintain this momentum as we step into our next challenge in Week 2.
sbmurks
Just one field goal on four attempts? Seems like Stephen Gostkowski may have just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after this performance.
