Coach Talk

DeKaylin Zecharius
Nice job, DeKaylin Zecharius. Kudos on deploying a starting crew that won by over 13 points in Week 9. We should keep this momentum going as we move on to our Week 10 matchup.
Amanda Hugginkiss™️
Listen, Amanda Hugginkiss™️, I've been in this business long enough to realize that sometimes points just seem to randomly appear out of thin air. Then in some cases (like this week) they don't! You know, the more I think about it... perhaps asking for an additional 14 points is a bit overzealous.
