Coach Talk

Knight Train
Listen Knight Train, the good news is that we won this matchup by over five points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this, as our scoring average through Week 14 stood at 95.57. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
BGMoney II
Our quarterback tossed one interception and not a single touchdown? I guess we've stumbled upon a fork in the road here: Was Dak Prescott really that off-rhythm with his receivers, or were the Colts just that great defending the pass? This judgment is yours to cast... BGMoney II, as you manage your lineup in Week 16 and beyond!
