Coach Talk

Chicago Bears
Hey, we do admire the confidence this past week, Chicago Bears. Starting not one, but TWO players with zero points (Adam Thielen and Anthony Miller), while still getting a W... that's borderline cocky! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we're done.
Cleveland Browns
Keep your head up, Cleveland Browns! Listen, I've been at it long enough to know that occasionally free points just seem to magically appear out of thin air. Then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, okay... hoping for an extra 39 points may be a little excessive.
