Coach Talk

Dallas Cowboys
Listen Dallas Cowboys, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has declined a bit lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 191.85 points through Week 13, our crew has definitely proven that it's even better than the 153.04 we needed for this past week's win!
New York Giants
Talk about old-school ground n' pound: As a group, the starting backfield for New York Giants collectively registered just one reception on three measly targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to dial up a screen play or two in Week 15!
