Coach Talk

Team 6
Infinite hours in the film room and in practice. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Each and every route, every single throw, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The final result? A spectacular 26 connections on 31 attempts... good enough for an 84% completion percentage for Josh Allen this past week. That Rams secondary didn't know what hit 'em!.
raiders
Fortunately, raiders, this week's problem is pretty easy to identify. Choosing to start DeVonta Smith in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all put this behind us and move on.
