Coach Talk

Jason's Team
Only one field goal on three attempts? It's quite possible that Adam Vinatieri just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after this performance.
CROWN ME #1
Look, CROWN ME #1, we've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes six extra points will just randomly come out of nowhere... and then sometimes, like in your case this week, they won't! The coaching staff here is proud of you, the most important thing here is that you tried.
