Coach Talk

Las Vegas Raiders
Listen, Las Vegas Raiders, we certainly appreciate the confidence. Playing a starter with negative points (Andrew Beck) while still earning a win... talk about arrogance. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Los Angeles Rams
With only one reception this past week, the starting running backs for Los Angeles Rams should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to check down more frequently.
