Coach Talk

The Footballas
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, The Footballas! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our QB was clearly overmatched this past week. Josh Allen went 15-of-26 for 315 yards and three touchdowns for ATLiens Vaxxxed Edition, and all Ryan Tannehill could manage through the air was 197 yards and one passing TD. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 6!
ATLiens Vaxxxed Edition
Only two field goals on four attempts? Seems like Rodrigo Blankenship may have just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after this performance.
