Coach Talk

Tennessee Titans
Hey, we admire the confidence, Tennessee Titans. Deploying a player with zero points (A.J. Green), while still earning a W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Kansas City Chiefs and see what happens!
Indianapolis Colts
We were just taking it easy so our guys could dominate in Week 4, right? The 10 offensive position starters on Indianapolis Colts (five WRs, four RBs, one TE) collectively put up 388 yards and no touchdowns this past week. The skill players on Tennessee Titans showed off how it's supposed to be done by logging 564 yards and three scores.
