Coach Talk

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
Hey, it's good to be confident, JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS. It takes moxie to deploy a player with zero points (Marvin Jones Jr.), while still earning the W! All we ask is 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?
Kansas City Chiefs
Hey, Kansas City Chiefs, what'd your receivers do to annoy their quarterbacks this week? Accumulating only 12 total targets this past week, our five wide receivers clearly need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
