Coach Talk

Indianapolis Colts
Listen, Indianapolis Colts, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Joe Flacco), while still getting the win... that's playing with fire. All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're done.
V Miami Dolphins
Even though we weren't able to get the win this past week, let's remember to be thankful for the bounty of goodness that is fantasy football.
