Coach Talk

Black Knight
Listen, Black Knight, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes gumption to deploy a starter with zero points (Mike Williams), while still earning a W. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Sharks and see what happens!
Pai Mei
Ugh, talk about under-utilized. The starting RBs for Pai Mei collectively registered a couple of receptions on only three targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 13!
