Coach Talk

NorthSiders
Countless hours in the film room and on the practice field. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Every single route, every single throw, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The outcome? A whopping 23 connections on 28 attempts: good enough for a completion percentage of 82% for Josh Allen this past week. The Saints secondary didn't stand a chance!.
Zelinsky Fresno
Hey, at least there were no celebration penalties: The seven offensive position starters (four WRs, two RBs, one TE) on Zelinsky Fresno combined to record a whopping 440 total yards. None of those starters, unfortunately, was able to find the end zone in Week 12.
