Coach Talk

Ducks Fly Together
Nice work deploying a lineup that won by more than 22 points this past week. We did what we needed to do and took care of business.
4 HORSEMEN
Wait, our quarterback threw two interceptions and just a single touchdown? We may need to have a little debate here. Was Tom Brady actually that off-rhythm with his receiving crew, or was the Cardinals secondary just that strong defending the pass?
