Coach Talk

The Eli Face
Assembling a lineup that recorded nearly 135 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. We should keep this momentum going as we move on to our next matchup in Week 4.
Darnold Town Road
Chin up, Darnold Town Road! There really is still a ton of football left to be played. The next few opponents might look at your win-loss record and foolishly think they've got a cakewalk. Do what Miles Sanders and Le'Veon Bell would in this situation and keep pounding away... catch those complacent GMs off-guard!
