Coach Talk

Purple Power
Mission accomplished, Purple Power. Fielding a lineup that won by over 17 points this past matchup.
JT TRIBAL CHIEF
Our quarterback tossed one interception and not a single touchdown? I suppose we're presented with a fork in the road here. Was Deshaun Watson actually that off-rhythm with his receivers, or were the Saints just that great defending the pass?
