Coach Talk

MutaiSR
You know what, MutaiSR, we do certainly admire the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Kerryon Johnson), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week and we'll be toast!
Marvelous
The problem in Week 12 isn't exactly rocket science, Marvelous. Starting Jay Ajayi, Alex Collins, and Patrick Mahomes in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll just put this behind us and move on.
