Coach Talk

Mile High Modernas
Bravo on deploying a starting crew that won by almost 56 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we needed to do. Let's keep this momentum going as we roll into our next matchup in Week 4.
A Taste of the Herb
Our starting QB threw two interceptions and just a single touchdown? I guess we're presented with a fork in the road here. Did Trevor Lawrence appear rattled back there in the pocket, or were the Cardinals just that good against the pass? What do you think, A Taste of the Herb... should we continue starting him with confidence?
