Coach Talk

Rain☔ tampa bay ☔man
Listen, Rain☔ tampa bay ☔man, we do admire the confidence. Rolling out not one, not two, but FOUR players with zero points while still getting the win... talk about arrogant. All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're finished.
Atlanta Falcons
Talk about under-utilized. The starting backfield for Atlanta Falcons collectively registered one catch on just two measly targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to set up some screen plays in Week 14!
