Coach Talk

Miguel's Majestic Team
Hey, we admire the confidence, Miguel's Majestic Team. It's a bold move to play a player with zero points (Christian McCaffrey), while still getting the win. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we'll be done.
Hurtslvania
Our starting QB threw three interceptions and just a single touchdown? Maybe we need to go back and review the game tape. Was Matthew Stafford actually that off-rhythm with his receiving crew, or was the Vikings secondary just that stout defending the pass?
