Coach Talk

Vick's Electric Dogs
Well Vick's Electric Dogs, the good news is that we won this matchup by 20 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through Week 7 stood at 87.86. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Dalvin and the Chipmunks
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 28 times in Week 8. With only 13 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
