Coach Talk

BenchWarmers
Nice job assembling a lineup that produced 114.67 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right.
501Elites
Wait, our quarterback tossed two interceptions and just one touchdown? It might be good to go back and review the game tape. Were the Cowboys genuinely that great defending the pass, or was Taylor Heinicke just that inaccurate from the pocket?
