Coach Talk

Clark Kent
Putting together a lineup that tallied more than 185 points this past week... we did what we had to do and took care of business. Let's keep this momentum going as we step into our Week 9 matchup.
Texasseans
Hey, Texasseans, did your receiving crew drop too many balls in practice or something? Accumulating only six targets combined in Week 8, our two wide receivers obviously got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
