Coach Talk

Bad LUCK
Close wins like this are unbelievably important for locker room chemistry. Overcoming tough obstacles and persevering in the face of adversity... we expect Bad LUCK to carry some positive vibes into Week 17.
Rubba Brandman
Registering three catches on only four measly targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Rubba Brandman should work to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to check down more frequently.
