Coach Talk

Kansas City Chiefs
Well Kansas City Chiefs, the good news is that we won this matchup by more than five points. The *even better* news is that we know we're better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through three weeks was 243.96. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Washington Football Team
Sheesh, this close defeat can be attributed more to the Titans coaching staff than on the quarterback. The gameplan resulted in the QB attempting just 21 passes against the Colts. Ryan Tannehill did what he could, completing a spectacular 81 percent of them!
