Coach Talk

Las Vegas Raiders
Hey, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Las Vegas Raiders. Deploying not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Darren Waller and Nelson Agholor), while still earning the win... that's playing with fire. All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we're finished.
Philadelphia Eagles
We just took it easy so our guys could dominate in next week, right? The nine starting offensive position players on Philadelphia Eagles (four WRs, three RBs, two TEs) collectively put up 354 yards and no touchdowns in Week 5. The skill players on Las Vegas Raiders made it tough on us by logging 599 yards and five scores.
