Coach Talk

Houston Texans
Bravo, Houston Texans. Assembling a lineup that won by 36.64 points this past week. We should keep this momentum rolling as we step into our next matchup in Week 11.
Buffalo Bills
Listen, Buffalo Bills, I've been in this industry long enough to know that sometimes points just seem to magically appear out of thin air. Then sometimes, like in your case this week, they don't! Hmmm, okay... asking for an additional 37 points may be a little excessive.
