Coach Talk

Pop Drop and Lockett
Hey Pop Drop and Lockett, the good news is that we took this matchup by 18.62 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through 12 weeks was 110.47. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
