Coach Talk

Baltimore Ravens
Nice job deploying a lineup that posted 324.76 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we needed to do. We should tip our cap to the GM of Cleveland Browns, take this W in stride, and continue on our way towards the AFC FRANCHISE DYNASTY league championship.
Cleveland Browns
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our seven pass-catchers (four WR, three TE) combined to get a hearty 40 targets in Week 1. With only 24 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
