Coach Talk

Go Puns!
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, Go Puns!. Starting a starter with negative points (the Los Angeles Chargers defense) while still getting the win... talk about arrogance. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Penny Trading
Listen, Penny Trading, I've been in this industry long enough to know that sometimes nine extra points can just miraculously appear out of nowhere... and then sometimes, like in your case this week, they don't! The coaching staff here is proud of you, the most important thing here is that you tried.
