Coach Talk

Cincinnati Bengals
Well Cincinnati Bengals, the good news is that we won this matchup by 37.76 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through Week 9 stood at 296.16. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Las Vegas Raiders
Welp, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 31 times in Week 10. With only 19 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
