Coach Talk

Jacksonville Jaguars
Listen, Jacksonville Jaguars, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Starting not one, not two, but FIVE players with zero points while still earning the W... that's borderline arrogant! We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be toast.
Los Angeles Rams
Talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting RBs for Los Angeles Rams collectively recorded just five targets this past week. Get those offensive coordinators to draw up some screen plays in Week 15!
