Coach Talk

Chicago Bears
Hey Chicago Bears, the good news is that we took this matchup by a whopping 32 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through seven weeks was 40. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Cleveland Browns
Trust us, Cleveland Browns... We've been in this industry for a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, your fans get whiny, and the local beat writers get a little nit-picky with their incessant questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning really does cure all!
