Coach Talk

A Taste of the Herb
Wow, A Taste of the Herb, you really made a statement to your leaguemates with this blowout. Along with a 36.52-point victory, you also jumped up a couple of places in the league standings... right into the thick of playoff contention
STATS INC.
Wait, our quarterback tossed two interceptions and literally zero touchdowns? We might need to go back and review the game tape: Were the Cardinals truly that strong against the pass, or did Cam Newton seem flustered back there in the pocket? This is the sort of judgment you'll need to make... STATS INC., as you set your lineup for Week 13 and beyond!
