Coach Talk

Quaid-er-ade
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Quaid-er-ade! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our starting wide receivers were clearly outclassed by the opposition. Terry McLaurin (76 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) logged only 13.5 points in Week 5. For Sansa Stark, DK Metcalf and Justin Jefferson doubled us up with a score of 31.12. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 6!
Sansa Stark
Our quarterback threw an interception and literally no touchdowns? We may need to play Monday-morning quarterback here: Was Jared Goff actually that out-of-tune with his receivers, or were the Patriots just that great defending the pass? This is the sort of judgment you'll have to make, Sansa Stark. The Lions have a bye in Week 6, so luckily you have some extra time to think on that one!
