Coach Talk

The injured reserve
Whoa, that Eagles defense didn't see it coming! 34 connections on 42 attempts... good enough for a completion percentage of 81% for Tom Brady. In what wound up being a tight matchup, the GM of The injured reserve has to be grateful for the attention to detail.
Matty Ice
Just three makes on five field goal attempts? Seems like Greg Joseph should reevaluate his pre-kick process after that sort of effort... especially with Matty Ice needing every point possible in this narrow matchup.
