There's still a boatload of football left to be played, Captain Kaep! Your upcoming opponents could glance at your record and foolishly believe they've got an easy matchup. Do what Devin Singletary and Nyheim Hines would in this scenario and continue pounding away... catch those complacent managers off-guard!
