Coach Talk

Akmal's Team
Hey, we admire the confidence, Akmal's Team. It's a bold move to roll out, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Juwan Johnson and Ja'Marr Chase), while still getting the win. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Kamara chameleon and we're sure to be toast.
Aiyukidding Me
Normally, a single missed field goal isn't any real cause for concern. Having said that, Daniel Carlson went 2-for-3 on FGs instead of 3-for-3, and Aiyukidding Me lost the matchup by 1.1 points. Talk about impeccable timing...
