Coach Talk

NYG
Assembling a lineup that won by over 40 points this past week... we did what we needed to do and took care of business.
King Of The Hill
Producing just one reception on five targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for King Of The Hill should investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
