Coach Talk

My Team
Well My Team, the good news is that we took this matchup by over 19 points. Even better news is that we know we're stronger than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through 13 weeks was 80.01. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
