Coach Talk

So Solid Spoilers
Only three makes on five field goal tries? Seems like Greg Zuerlein might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after this performance.
BelgradePatriots
BelgradePatriots will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to get a hearty 38 targets in Week 1. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group reeled in just 20 balls.
