Coach Talk

Who Dat
Nice job deploying a lineup that tallied nearly 117 points this past week. We did what we needed to and took care of business. We should maintain this momentum as we move on to our Week 6 matchup.
rookiechen
Only one field goal on five attempts? Sounds like Mason Crosby might be kicking himself to the waiver wire following this performance.
