Coach Talk

Cream Puffs
Listen, Cream Puffs, we applaud you on the confidence. It takes real moxie to roll out a starter with negative points (the Los Angeles Chargers defense) while still getting a win.
Deez Nuts
With just one catch this past week, the starting running backs for Deez Nuts clearly should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to check down more frequently.
