Coach Talk

Balmain Forever
Only three field goals on five attempts? It's quite possible that Dan Bailey just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this performance.
Bein's Team
Eek, talk about a rough day... no passing TDs, but two interceptions for Patrick Mahomes against the Redskins? Week 6 is approaching quickly and we should probably discuss the elephant in the room: do we keep rolling with him as our starting quarterback?
