Coach Talk

TurnYaHeadAndCough
Sure, we ultimately earned the win, but there's really no other way for us to spin this, TurnYaHeadAndCough: our QB was clearly outmatched by the opposition. Josh Allen went 36-of-54 for 308 yards and two touchdowns for Skin Diesel, and all Derek Carr could manage through the air was 263 yards and one passing TD. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 15!
Skin Diesel
With only five receptions this past week, the starting running backs for Skin Diesel obviously should look into why their quarterbacks are giving them the cold shoulder.
