Coach Talk

Houston Texans
Four wide receivers, four running backs, two tight ends, zero touchdowns: The 10 starting offensive skill players on Houston Texans collectively gained a whopping 637 total yards. None of those starters could find his way to the end zone in Week 2.
Tennessee Titans
Tennessee Titans will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (seven WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 36 times in Week 2. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group pulled down just 22 catches.
