Coach Talk

Marcus's Swell Team
Nice work deploying a lineup that won by over 27 points this past week. We did what we had to do and took care of business.
Strat-O-Matics
Your quarterback threw one interception and not a single touchdown? I suppose we're presented with a couple of options here. Was Aaron Rodgers really that out-of-sync with the receivers, or was the Vikings secondary just that stout against the pass?
