Coach Talk

DOOMSDAY
You know DOOMSDAY, the good news is that we won this matchup by over 11 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're stronger than this, as our scoring average through 12 weeks was 178.92. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
The Champ
Our quarterback tossed one interception and not a single touchdown? We may need to have a little debate here: Were the Texans actually that stout against the pass, or was Deshaun Watson just that inaccurate from the pocket? This is the sort of decision you'll need to make... The Champ, as you set your lineup in Week 14 and beyond!
