Coach Talk

bladen's Unreal Team
You know what, bladen's Unreal Team, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Nick Bosa), while still getting the win... that's borderline cocky.
Mario's Team
Just one field goal on three attempts? Sounds like Jake Elliott might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool after this effort.
