Coach Talk

Jacksonville Jaguars
Nice job assembling a starting crew that won by over 145 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done. Let's keep this momentum going as we move on to what will surely be a difficult matchup in Week 11.
New York Jets
"Not getting enough opportunities" isn't an excuse this week for New York Jets. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and two TE) were targeted a respectable 25 times in Week 10. Chemistry appears to be the primary issue, as that group pulled down only 10 receptions.
