Coach Talk

Las Vegas Raiders
Hey, it's good to be confident, Las Vegas Raiders. Deploying a player with zero points (Deon Jackson), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant. Try those shenanigans next week against Green Bay Packers and see what happens.
Cleveland Browns
Registering two catches on only three targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Cleveland Browns obviously should investigate why their QBs are giving them the silent treatment.
