Coach Talk

SPARTICUS
Hey, it's good to be confident, SPARTICUS. Rolling out not one, but TWO players with zero points (Rob Gronkowski and the Houston Texans defense), while still getting the win... talk about arrogant. We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be toast.
Wayne's World
Listen, Wayne's World, we've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes points can just randomly show up out of nowhere. Then in some cases (like this week) they don't! Hmmm, alright... hoping for an extra 22 points might be a bit overzealous.
