Coach Talk

Baltimore Ravens
You know Baltimore Ravens, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has declined a bit lately, I'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 261.87 points through Week 5, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outproducing the 199.66 we needed to win this past week!
Indianapolis Colts
Unless Indianapolis Colts wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (five WR and two TE) were targeted a grand total of 30 times in Week 6. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group reeled in just 10 catches.
