Coach Talk

Pats Nation
Nice work, Pats Nation. Kudos on deploying a team that blew the opponent out by almost 24 points in Week 15.
Wildcats
Well, Wildcats, this week's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Choosing to start Julio Jones in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up over 133 points... let's all move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again.
