Coach Talk

Nah Son
Listen Nah Son, the good news is that we took this matchup by more than three points. Even better news is that we know we're stronger than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 7 stood at 136.63. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Team Butthole
With three catches on just four measly targets this past week, the starting running backs for Team Butthole should investigate why their QBs are giving them the cold shoulder.
