Coach Talk

Marver Island
Hey, we admire the confidence, Marver Island. Deploying a starter with zero points (Marquez Valdes-Scantling), while still getting the win... that's borderline arrogant! We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're done.
Governators
Only one make on three field goal attempts? Sounds like Matt Prater may have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire after that sort of effort.
