Coach Talk

kool thing's Team
Hey kool thing's Team, the good news is that we took this matchup by almost three points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through 12 weeks was 101.95. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
MNG Orlovi
The problem in Week 13 isn't exactly rocket science, MNG Orlovi. Choosing to start Clyde Edwards-Helaire in what was ultimately a tight fantasy matchup... we'll all just assume something like this won't happen again and move on.
