Coach Talk

Good Juju
Props to you, Good Juju. Good work deploying a lineup that won by over 18 points in Week 16.
The Great 8s
Our starting QB tossed two interceptions and just a single touchdown? We may have quite a dilemma on our hands here. Were the Cardinals really that strong defending the pass, or did Tom Brady seem flustered back there in the pocket?
