Coach Talk

Luke 2334
Listen, Luke 2334, we certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes true gumption to deploy a starter with negative points (the Los Angeles Rams defense) while still earning the W. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Capt. Kirk's Cousins
We just took it easy so our players could dominate in Week 10, right? The six offensive position starters on Capt. Kirk's Cousins (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) collectively put up 507 yards and just two touchdowns this past week. Our opposition's skill players made it tough on us by logging 674 yards and seven scores.
