Coach Talk

Green Bay Packers
You know what, Green Bay Packers, we do certainly admire the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Myles Jack), while still getting the W... that's borderline cocky. We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Seattle Seahawks
Luckily, Week 10's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Seattle Seahawks. Starting Byron Murphy Jr. in a tough fantasy matchup... let's use this as a learning experience and agree that it's not going to happen again.
