Coach Talk

The Texas Headhunter
These types of tight victories are super critical for the locker room. Persevering through trials and tribulations, while succeeding in the face of adversity... we expect the The Texas Headhunter team chemistry to be sky-high heading into Week 3.
Molly Hatchet
Wait, our starting QB tossed three interceptions and just a pair of touchdowns? Maybe we should go back and review the game tape. Was Joe Burrow really that off-rhythm with his receivers, or was the Bears secondary just that good defending the pass? This is the sort of judgment you'll have to make... Molly Hatchet, as you deploy your lineup for Week 3 and beyond!
