Coach Talk

Vikes
Hey, we admire the confidence, Vikes. Playing a starter with zero points (James Conner), while still getting the W... that's borderline arrogant.
ZekeMahomes
Tis the season, ZekeMahomes! We hope the GM of Vikes will pen a thank-you card for the gift of a fantasy football victory this past week.
