Coach Talk
Sharks
Putting together a lineup that accounted for almost 477 points this past week... we did what we had to do and took care of business. Let's maintain this momentum as we head into our Week 6 matchup.
Beefy Legends
Your starting QB tossed an interception and no touchdowns? We might need to go back and review the game tape: Did Kenny Pickett appear shaky back there in the pocket, or were the Bills just that strong against the pass? This is the sort of judgment you'll need to make... Beefy Legends, as you set your lineup for Week 6 and beyond!
