Coach Talk

Kansas City Chiefs
Listen, Kansas City Chiefs, we applaud you on the confidence. Playing a starter with negative points (plus two zero-point players) while still earning the W... talk about arrogance. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Minnesota Vikings
Yo, Minnesota Vikings, did your receivers drop too many balls in practice or something? Accumulating just 25 total targets in Week 11, our six wide receivers clearly need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
