Coach Talk

Mr big puff
Only two field goals on four attempts? It's quite possible that Rodrigo Blankenship just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after this effort.
Debo
It's entirely possible that Debo might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just 12 total targets in Week 5, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
