Coach Talk

Jacksonville Jaguars
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Jacksonville Jaguars. It takes real moxie to roll out a starter with zero points (Chris Jones), while still getting a win.
Chicago Bears
Happy holidays, Chicago Bears! We hope the GM of Jacksonville Jaguars will send a thank-you card for the generous gift you let them have this past week.
