Coach Talk

Cleveland Browns
Earning the win is most important, Cleveland Browns, but we've also identified one spot where we can get better as a team. Our running backs were significantly outplayed by the opposition. Our backfield produced only 15.2 points in Week 9, while the starting backfield for Las Vegas Raiders doubled us up with a score of 33.9. Let's work with the O-line to find some more holes in Week 10!
Las Vegas Raiders
Our quarterback tossed three interceptions and literally zero touchdowns? Maybe we should go back and review the game tape: Were the Dolphins really that strong defending the pass, or was Tyrod Taylor just that inaccurate from the pocket? What do you think? Do we keep rolling with him as the starting QB of Las Vegas Raiders?
