Coach Talk

Philadelphia Eagles
Hey, we do respect the confidence this past week, Philadelphia Eagles. It takes gumption to start, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Nyheim Hines and Skyy Moore), while still earning the win. Try those shenanigans next week against GX s99 NE Pats 20 25 and see what happens.
Houston Texans
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and two TE) collectively got a grand total of 23 targets in Week 9. With just 14 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
