Coach Talk

Philadelphia Eagles
You know Philadelphia Eagles, the good news is that we took this matchup by more than 32 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 13 stood at 141.95. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Buffalo Bills
Fortunately, Buffalo Bills, Week 14's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Going with several zero-point players in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again.
