Coach Talk

Los Angeles Rams
You know what, Los Angeles Rams, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Tyler Higbee and Sam Sloman), while still earning the win... talk about arrogant! All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Dallas Cowboys
Recording only a pair of targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Dallas Cowboys should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
