Coach Talk

Giant’s tuff
Listen, Giant’s tuff, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy a player with zero points (Noah Fant), while still getting the W.
Belicheck yourself
Here's a list of scenarios where it's excusable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A hitter's line in baseball, the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the NBA Finals, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Wil Lutz may have just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after that sort of performance.
