Coach Talk

LaVerne's Pies
Earning the win is most important, LaVerne's Pies, but we do know of one spot where we can get better as a team: our QB was thoroughly overmatched this past week. Joe Burrow went 37-of-46 for 525 yards and four touchdowns for JohnBrown'sHindparts, and all Tom Brady could produce was an 18-for-30 outing, with 232 yards and one passing TD.
