Coach Talk

Arin Johnson's Team
Listen Arin Johnson's Team, the good news is that we took this matchup by more than seven points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this, as our scoring average through seven weeks was 138.26. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Mayfields
Well, Mayfields, this week's problem is fairly easy to diagnose. Choosing to start the Tennessee Titans defense, John Johnson III, Adam Humphries, and Logan Thomas in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up 110.54 points... we'll all just put this in the rear-view mirror and assume that something like this won't happen again?
