Coach Talk

GloriouslyVictorious
Only three makes on five field goal attempts? Seems like Greg Zuerlein might have just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
The Mijo
The Mijo will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 51 times in Week 1. With only 27 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
