Coach Talk

Baltimore Ravens
Well Baltimore Ravens, the good news is that we won this matchup by over 17 points. Even better news is that we know we're stronger than this, as our scoring average through 10 weeks was 238.59. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Kansas City Chiefs
The problem this week was pretty easy to diagnose, Kansas City Chiefs. Choosing to start David Njoku in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied over 191 points... we'll all assume it won't happen again and move on.
