Coach Talk

Studs and Duds
Hey, the key to football is finding and exploiting the mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by nearly quadrupling Gronkey Kong at the wide receiver position (32 points to 8.1).
Gronkey Kong
Our starting QB tossed three interceptions and not a single touchdown? We may need to play Monday-morning quarterback here. Were the Chargers really that strong defending the pass, or was Nick Foles just that inaccurate from the pocket?
