Coach Talk

CAVIAR CARTEL
These types of close victories can be remarkably important for team chemistry. Persevering through obstacles and succeeding in the face of adversity... expect the CAVIAR CARTEL locker room to really gel entering Week 16.
The dirty birds
With just one catch on three targets this past week, the starting running backs for The dirty birds clearly need to investigate why their QBs are giving them the cold shoulder.
