Coach Talk

Indrid Cold
Listen Indrid Cold, the good news is that we took this matchup by a whopping 21.74 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through Week 5 stood at 100.86. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Kayfabe
Just like the league's new tackling rules, it's important to keep your chin up, Kayfabe! You can feel good knowing that your generosity couldn't have gone unnoticed. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Indrid Cold succeed this week... and maybe one day, they can return the favor by taking a couple of defenses early in next year's draft, something along those lines.
