Coach Talk

Mr. Marbles
Hey, we do respect the confidence this past week, Mr. Marbles. Deploying a starter with zero points (Christian Kirk), while still getting the win... that's borderline cocky! All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we're finished.
DITKA
Hey, at least there were no celebration penalties: The six offensive skill starters on DITKA (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) combined to record a whopping 527 total yards. Not one of those players, unfortunately, could find his way to the end zone in Week 14.
