Coach Talk

Duluth Eskimos
It cannot be overstated just how critical tight wins like this are for the locker room. Persevering in the face of adversity and triumphing as a tight-knit unit... look for the Duluth Eskimos team chemistry to be sky-high entering Week 17.
Fort Worth Gunslingers
Your starting QB threw one interception and no touchdowns? It might be wise to go back and review the game tape. Were the Browns actually that stout against the pass, or was Andy Dalton just that out-of-tune with his receivers?
