Coach Talk

Smokin' Jays
Good job deploying a lineup that won by 10.72 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we needed to do. We should take this win in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Business Time, and continue our march towards the No Quitters (Season 11) league title.
Business Time
Wait, our starting QB tossed one interception and literally no touchdowns? We might need to play Monday-morning quarterback here. Was Jacoby Brissett really that off-rhythm with his receiving crew, or was the Chiefs secondary just that good defending the pass? This is the sort of decision you'll need to make, Business Time. The Colts have a bye next week, so fortunately you have some extra time to ponder that one!
