Coach Talk

Press Coverage
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Press Coverage. It's a bold move to roll out a player with zero points (Josh Jacobs), while still getting the win.
Billsrback
Keep your head held high, Billsrback! Look, we've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes eight extra points can just randomly appear out of the blue... and then sometimes, like in your case this week, they don't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing is that you gave it your best shot.
