Coach Talk

Brian McDougall
These types of narrow victories are paramount for locker room chemistry. Persevering in the face of adversity and triumphing as a tight-knit unit... we expect Brian McDougall to carry some serious vibes into Week 11.
Michael Scott
A single missed field goal isn't typically cause for concern. But come on now, talk about impeccable timing: Harrison Butker goes 4-for-5 on FGs instead of 5-for-5, and Michael Scott loses the matchup by 0.24 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
