Coach Talk

PATRIOTS RULE
Hey, it's good to be confident, PATRIOTS RULE. It's a bold move to deploy not one, not two, but THREE starters with zero points (Maxx Crosby, Chase Winovich, and Jason McCourty), while still getting the win.
Da Puppies $2
Only one make on three field goal attempts? Seems like Michael Badgley might have just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this effort... especially since Da Puppies $2 needed every point possible in this tight matchup.
