Coach Talk

Wait whut?
We're wondering if the GM of Wait whut? was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 2.5 points, Tyler Bass (0-of-1 on the day) decided that going 1-for-1 on field goals would've been just a bit too boring. Remember folks, every point matters!
Austin's Dazzling Team
The problem in Week 16 is pretty easy to diagnose, Austin's Dazzling Team. Choosing to start Nick Folk and Dean Lowry in what turned out to be a tight fantasy matchup... let's all just assume it won't happen again and move on.
