Coach Talk

Mario's Team
Listen, Mario's Team, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Cameron Wake and Frank Clark), while still earning a W... talk about arrogant. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we're done.
LongShotzz
This outcome was just a bit too spooky, LongShotzz! It turned out that Mario's Team played the role of Boogeyman while Brian Burns, Damarious Randall, Michael Bennett, Stephen Gostkowski, Mark Ingram II, and Lamar Jackson all decided to be ghosts for your team this past week. All tricks and no treats!
