Coach Talk

TX/ARK-CONNECTION
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, TX/ARK-CONNECTION. It takes real guts to deploy a starter with negative points (the Cleveland Browns defense) while still earning a W. All we ask is to please keep those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Draft Punk
Wait, our quarterback threw two interceptions and just one touchdown? I guess we're presented with a couple of options here. Were the Packers actually that great against the pass, or was Mitchell Trubisky just that sloppy from the pocket?
