Coach Talk

Iowa Barnstormers
Listen, Iowa Barnstormers, we do appreciate the confidence. It takes real guts to roll out a starter with zero points (Graham Gano), while still getting the win. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're finished.
Kansas City Kitty
Just one make on three field goal tries? Seems like Nick Folk might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
