Coach Talk

Jokers Wild
Bravo, Jokers Wild. Good job fielding a starting crew that won by almost 68 points in Week 14. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Pai Mei, take this victory in stride, and continue on our way towards a fantasy championship.
Pai Mei
Our quarterback threw four interceptions and literally no touchdowns? I suppose we've stumbled upon a fork in the road here. Did Trevor Lawrence appear shaky back there in the pocket, or were the Titans just that strong against the pass? This judgment is yours to make, Pai Mei, as you deploy your lineup in Week 15 and beyond!
