Coach Talk

Ice Up Son!
Tight wins like this are super critical for locker room chemistry. Persevering through trials and tribulations, while succeeding in the face of adversity... expect Ice Up Son! to carry some serious momentum into Week 4.
Beat-a-son
There's still a ton of football left to be played. These upcoming opponents could look at your win-loss record and foolishly think they have a cakewalk. Do what Carson Wentz would after an interception, and go deep on your next opportunity... catch those complacent managers snoozing! Keep your head up, Beat-a-son!
