Coach Talk

#22SAVAGE
Well #22SAVAGE, the good news is that we took this matchup by an impressive 61.7 points. Even better news is that we know we're better than this, as our scoring average through four weeks was 220.55. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
DOOMSDAY
Unless DOOMSDAY wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" is definitely not an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 42 targets in Week 5. With just 23 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
