Coach Talk

Cleveland Browns
Hey, we do respect the confidence this past week, Cleveland Browns. Deploying a starter with zero points (Dalton Schultz), while still earning the win... that's borderline cocky! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be finished.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Wait, our quarterback tossed two interceptions and not a single touchdown? We might need to go back and review the game tape: Did Trevor Lawrence appear shaky back there in the pocket, or was the Texans secondary just that strong defending the pass? This is the sort of decision you'll need to make... Jacksonville Jaguars, as you deploy your lineup for Week 6 and beyond!
