Coach Talk

FEAR THE NECKBEARD
Only two field goals on four attempts? Sounds like Harrison Butker might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool after this effort.
Wyerock Bottoms
Your quarterback threw one interception and no touchdowns? Maybe we need to go back and review the game tape. Did Russell Wilson appear rattled back there in the pocket, or was the Vikings secondary just that good against the pass? You'll need to decide one way or the other... Wyerock Bottoms, as you set your lineup for Week 15 and beyond!
