Coach Talk

Team Chubb
You know what, Team Chubb, we do appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to roll out a starter with zero points (Tee Higgins), while still earning the win! All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Turkey Jones
Three WRs, three RBs, one TE, zero TDs: The seven starting offensive position players on Turkey Jones combined to record a whopping 461 total yards. Not one of those players could get into the end zone in Week 5.
