Coach Talk

GX s99 NE Pats 20 25
Listen, GX s99 NE Pats 20 25, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Starting a player with zero points (the Baltimore Ravens defense), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant.
Houston Texans
Hey, Houston Texans, what did your receiving crew do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? Accumulating only 18 targets combined in Week 14, our five starting pass-catchers (three WR, two TE) obviously need to get the attention of their respective QBs this week in practice.
