Coach Talk

Deshaun of the dead
We do respect the confidence this past week, Deshaun of the dead. Starting a player with zero points (Delanie Walker), while still earning the win... that's borderline cocky.
Team Game
Hey, at least there were no celebration penalties: The eight offensive skill starters on Team Game (five WRs, three RBs) combined to record a healthy 542 total yards. Unfortunately, not one of those players could find his way to the end zone in Week 15.
