Coach Talk

Patriot Killer
Wow, Patriot Killer, you put the rest of the league on notice with this performance. Along with a nearly 48-point victory, you also climbed two spots in the league standings!
Doc's Devils
Unless Doc's Devils wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 34 targets in Week 9. With only 17 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
