Coach Talk

Don's Dazzling Team
Yo, Don's Dazzling Team, what'd your receiving crew do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? Seeing just 11 total targets in Week 3, our three starting pass-catchers (three WR, zero TE) obviously need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
