Coach Talk

Hyenas Gon' Eat
These types of close victories can be super critical for locker room chemistry. Persevering through obstacles and triumphing in the face of adversity... we expect Hyenas Gon' Eat to carry some serious momentum into Week 17.
THE CIRCLE
Normally, missing a field goal isn't anything to really be worried about. But come on now, talk about impeccable timing: Evan McPherson goes 1-for-2 on FGs instead of 2-for-2, and THE CIRCLE loses the matchup by 3 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
