Coach Talk

Pogues Mahone
Nice job, Pogues Mahone. Kudos on assembling a lineup that registered 531.5 points this past matchup. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to our Week 4 matchup.
ASTRO CREEP 2000
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 36 targets in Week 3. With only 17 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
