Coach Talk

Rogue Demon Hunters
Tight victories like this can be paramount for locker room chemistry. Persevering in the face of adversity and triumphing as a tight-knit unit... look for Rogue Demon Hunters to carry some serious vibes into Week 17.
53 Cats and a Duck
Only one make on three field goal tries? Seems like Matt Prater may have just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after that sort of performance... especially since 53 Cats and a Duck needed every point they could possibly get in this tight matchup.
