Coach Talk

GX s99 NE Pats 20 25
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a thrilling performance by Josh Allen, we nearly quadrupled Las Vegas Raiders at the quarterback position this past week (44.16 points to 11.16). Allen went 20-for-31 for 424 yards, four TDs, and an INT in a 38-3 win over the Steelers.
Las Vegas Raiders
Unless Las Vegas Raiders wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and three TE) combined to see a grand total of 32 targets in Week 5. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they notched only 18 receptions.
