Coach Talk

The dirty birds
You know The dirty birds, the good news is that we took this matchup by more than three points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this, as our scoring average through 13 weeks was 116.23. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Where’s Warren
Wait, our starting QB tossed two interceptions and not a single touchdown? I guess we're presented with a fork in the road here: Did Derek Carr seem rattled back there in the pocket, or was the Rams secondary just that strong defending the pass? This is the sort of decision you'll need to make, Where’s Warren, as you set your lineup for Week 15 and beyond!
