Coach Talk

Nerd Herd
Bravo on assembling a starting crew that produced more than 74 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done.
The Chubb Clubb
Your quarterback tossed an interception and literally no touchdowns? We might need to play Monday-morning quarterback here: Were the Rams genuinely that strong defending the pass, or was Russell Wilson just that off-rhythm with his receiving crew?
