Coach Talk

Beefman
Hey, it's good to be confident, Beefman. Starting not one, but TWO players with zero points (George Kittle and Chandler Jones), while still earning a W... talk about arrogant! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be finished.
FearsomeFoursome
Hey, at least there were no celebration penalties: The four offensive position starters on FearsomeFoursome (two RBs, one WR, one TE) collectively gained a healthy 388 yards from scrimmage. None of those starters, unfortunately, was able to score a touchdown in Week 2.
