Coach Talk

WESTSIDAZ RAIDERS
You know what, WESTSIDAZ RAIDERS, we do appreciate the confidence. It takes a certain sort of gumption to deploy a player with zero points (the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense), while still getting a W! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be finished.
Jessie & The Rippers
Just three field goals on five attempts? Sounds like Greg Zuerlein should reevaluate his pre-kick process following this effort.
