Coach Talk

Butkicker
Mission accomplished, Butkicker. Fielding a starting crew that netted over 219 points this past matchup. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to our Week 8 matchup.
Let’em Taunt
This outcome was just too spooky for us, Let’em Taunt! It turned out that Tre'Davious White and the Buffalo Bills defense felt like ghosting on your team, while Butkicker played the role of Boogeyman. All tricks and no treats!
