Coach Talk

My Ball Zach Ertz
Just one make on three field goal attempts? Seems like Zane Gonzalez might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
Jules Winnfield
You can feel good knowing that your generosity this week didn't go unnoticed. It takes a true winner to help someone like My Ball Zach Ertz succeed... and when the time comes, maybe they'll return the favor by taking a couple of kickers early in next year's draft (something like that). Keep your head up, Jules Winnfield!
