Coach Talk

Buffalo Bills
Listen, Buffalo Bills, we do appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to play, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (O.J. Howard and Jordan Poyer), while still earning the W. Try those shenanigans next week against Green Bay Packers and see what happens.
Los Angeles Chargers
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our seven pass-catchers (six WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 38 times in Week 3. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group reeled in only 18 balls.
