Coach Talk

Cleveland Browns
You know what, Cleveland Browns, we do admire the confidence. It's a bold move to start a player with zero points (James Mitchell), while still getting a win! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Buffalo Bills
Hey, Buffalo Bills, what did your receiving crew do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? Accumulating only 20 total targets this past week, our six wide receivers clearly need to get the attention of their respective offensive coordinators this week in practice.
