Coach Talk

K2
Listen K2, the good news is that we won this matchup by 8 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through 13 weeks was 137.08. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Tug on this
Luckily, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Tug on this. Going with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense in a tough fantasy matchup... let's just put this in the rear-view mirror and assume it's not going to happen again?
