Coach Talk

Chicago Bears
Well Chicago Bears, the good news is that we took this matchup by 26 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through Week 10 stood at 36.3. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
New York Giants
Hey, New York Giants, what did your pass-catchers do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? With just zero total targets this past week, our starting receiver crew (three WR, one TE) clearly need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
