Coach Talk

Buffalo Bills
We do admire the confidence this past week, Buffalo Bills. Deploying a player with zero points (Zack Moss), while still earning the win... that's playing with fire. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Tampa Bay Buccaneers and see what happens.
San Francisco 49'ers
With a couple of receptions on just three targets this past week, the starting RBs for San Francisco 49'ers should remind their QBs to start checking down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
