Coach Talk

Los Angeles Chargers
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Los Angeles Chargers. Playing not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Jalen Guyton and Jason Moore Jr.), while still earning the W... that's borderline arrogant! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're finished.
Buffalo Bills
We were just taking it easy so our players could dominate in Week 5, right? The nine starting offensive skill players (four WRs, four RBs, one TE) on Buffalo Bills combined to record 401 yards and just four touchdowns in Week 4. Our opposition's skill players stuffed the statsheet by logging 575 yards and six scores.
