Coach Talk

LAS VEGAS RAIDERS-VI
Good job assembling a lineup that won by nearly 23 points this past week. We deem that to be a job done right.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Recording just one reception on three measly targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Jacksonville Jaguars should work to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
