Coach Talk

Tommy P
Hey, the key to football is spotting the mismatches. Thanks to a thrilling display from Josh Allen, we nearly tripled Simmons at the quarterback position this past week (47.4 points to 16.7). Allen went 20-for-31 for 424 yards, four TDs, and an INT in a 38-3 victory over the Steelers.
Simmons
With four catches on just five targets this past week, the starting running backs for Simmons should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
