Coach Talk

Sinister
Well done, Sinister. Nice job fielding a starting crew that won by more than 27 points this past matchup.
Myles and Miles
Our quarterback threw three interceptions and just a single touchdown? It might be wise to go back and review the game tape: Were the Vikings truly that great against the pass, or was Matthew Stafford just that out-of-sync with the receiving crew?
