Coach Talk

New York Jets
Hey New York Jets, the good news is that we won this matchup by nearly 47 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this, as our scoring average through eight weeks was 259.37. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Indianapolis Colts
Wait, our quarterback threw an interception and no touchdowns? Maybe we should go back and review the game tape. Did Sam Ehlinger appear flustered back there in the pocket, or was the Patriots secondary just that strong defending the pass? What do you think? Do we continue to roll with him as the starting QB of Indianapolis Colts?
