Coach Talk

🍀🍀🍀
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, 🍀🍀🍀! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve; our QB was severely overmatched by the opposition. Josh Allen went 15-of-26 for 315 yards and three touchdowns for Whitey Bulger, and all Patrick Mahomes could produce was a 33-for-54 day, with 272 yards and two passing scores (plus two ugly interceptions). Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 6!

Just two field goals on four attempts? Sounds like Rodrigo Blankenship might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after that sort of performance.
